Ahoy there,
Ok, here's the prob,
I have downloaded and installed SH5 v.115,backed up the core 'Backups' and stored them in a folder on a separate drive. Sim ran fine.

I then 'Patched' to .120 and repeated the core backups again on a separate drive. Sim ran fine.

I am using TDW's Genericpatcher_v_1_0_168_0.
Upon commencing with the patcher (this is not my first install with this patcher,and the other installs were fine) the following error reports come up:
Error
Unable to open C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter\SHSim.act for verifying.
Exception is Access to path C:\Ubisoft\SilentHunter5\SHSim.act is denied

Error
5\Patches\SH5\TDW.SHSim_Patch.s5P
Exception is:
Patch File C:Ubisoft\SilentHunter5\Patches\SH5\TDW_SHSim_Patc h.s5P:Exception while reading in all updates.
Exception is:
Patch File C :\Ubisoft\SilentHunter5\Patches\SH5\TDW_SHSim_Patc h.s5P:Exception while reading update 1. Exception is object reference not set to an instance of an object.

I earlier tried to reinstall core backups and had a popup tell me that
'Destination folder, Access is denied'!

I rechecked the TDW patcher files and found in 'Patches' this path
Patches\SH5\then the patches. Is this correct?
Something is not right here, and at he moment I 'believe' I am patched to v120, which is displayed on the opening screen. I am reluctant to proceed further with TDW's patcher until I can get some assistance with this prob, as previous attempts to resolve it have led to 3 uninstalls and 3 re-downloads!

Its always SHSim.act that comes up, I checked the file sizes, v115 was
804kb, and v120 is 803kb so I believe it has been updated to v120.

So there goes my first post, and its a Mayday! (lol)

Hi TH

It is not that you are being ignored I guess that no one has the answer.

I do not have the answer but I did notice this:

Quote > Error

You notice that one says Silent Hunter and the other Silent Hunter 5

When installing the GFP your most likely path is:

C:
Ubisoft
Silent Hunter 5

The Silent Hunter 5 folder must be highlighted each time for all the 9 patches to be installed correctly.

Sometimes this does not happen and then you get errors happening.

It would appear that you have 2 folders.

One is called Silent Hunter
The other is called Silent Hunter 5

Thanks for the reply peter,looks like its a trip to Ubi support(:k_rofl:) for this one.

Hello guys I got the Sh5 dvd a few years back and installed it on my hardrive and I remember it was working properly. I decided to give it a shot today but i was getting this error :Camera manager could not be located in your link library. It appears my cameramanager.act file is corruped somehow. The problem is I cant find the dvd to repair my issue.

Hi Ironkid,

First, before we try something else -
1. Download fresh drivers for your graphics card
2. Uninstall your current ones
3. Re-boot your system
4. Install the new ones
5. Re-boot

Let's hope this helps.
If not - let us know

smoke on the horizon!!

If I was a modder I would make a diesel exhaust mod for this game.

a diesel sub running at flank speed without a massive tail of filthy dark black smoke following it around takes away from the realism.

when the watch officer calls "smoke on the horizon" and every ship in sight has a massive tower of black smoke hanging over it but your uboat is propelled by a magical no exhaust diesel engine then there is a major break in the logic. at least this is the case in my mind.

maybe ill just get used to it.

but if a knew how to mod I would take care of this.

TDW has such a mod but there must be compatibility issues with his WoS mod pack since it is not included.

my two bits

Hi TH,. Make sure you have admin rights in windows user account. If you have, try to copy your backed up files to your documents folder. Then copy them from documents to your Silent Hunter installation directory. This work for me on an MS outlook pst file that did not want to import.

Hope this help.:up:

Hi TH

You said that you used the patcher before.

Are you using the patcher as a stand alone or is installed from inside TDW's NewUI base mod?

If it was in previous use did you disable the patches first?

If it is a standalone patcher have a look at my tutorial on post #2 and check that you installed as per my instructions?

Most problems concerning installing the patcher happen because a mistake is made when selecting the correct folder for each of the 9 patchers.

If you hover your mouse over the SH5.exe icon you will see your game version.

Properties.

Also in the Control Panel.

I'm wondering if anyone can help me with this problem... I'm pretty stuck at first mission of the campaign... The Baltic Operations. I sunk the Polish task force, reported it and sunk 4 more Polish merchants and went to Kiel, and all objectives were completed but only mission I can select now is Baltic Operations... I have Wolves of Steel installed but no further mods. What to do now? :06:
