I understand what your saying....Let me try it like this, because the pics tell it like it is....

To me, this says the game can not be played without a inet connection. Just returns me to the bunker for nothing....:shifty: So for me, there is no playing the game off line :/\\!!.

This topic is very old now.

If you have setup for offline mode correctly - you only need an internet connection the very first time you sign in.
There after if you start with no connection - uplay will check for any updates to the launcher - find no connection and let you start the game

I agree with you the topic is VERY old...

And if you have looked at the pics. I do not see how much more is needed for a "Set Correctly off-line mod" than what is done. If there is another selection that no one is telling me about, then I can see were I am unable to do this. If in the "PICS" is the way to set it for off-line mode. And as seen in the "PICS" I can not do so.

Then it is what it is. I am NOT a "SOFTWERE COMPUTER IDIOT"! I Do not see what is so hard to understand that! I am not NEW to "PC VIDEO GAMES" world! I have been understanding the concept since 1994!!

I know what "ON-LINE" is and I know what "OFF-LINE" is, My goodness I network my very home computers for LAN play with the kids!!! The "PICS" show what happends, that is the out come. There is nothing more to it! It is that simple. So unless there is something in the "PICS" that is not there that I need to do, then tell me. Do not not tell me if I set it the right way it will play off line!! What right way? What advanced setting that my stupid self over looked that makes it not work like everyone else sir?
Because it is updated, and this is the $8.00 game available in the US.
And it can play with no disk....

:yeah:

Perhaps a slow down and wee think may help:O:

You were not called an idiot :huh:

ok ok :arrgh!:

Judge for yourself how hard this is:O:

Trevally :up:

tried to find these pics you posted earlier but no luck :)

Ok first things first...:shifty:

GLOATING about WHAT? IS that how you provide tips to people? "Let me gloat over your ignorence... because I PROVEN MY POINT."

Lets examin that point...of what you showed off in mockery about... Guess what?

IT DOSEN NOT WORK! PERIOD, IT HAS NOT BEFORE, IT WILL NOT NOW. IT SAYS THE SAME THING EVERY TIME I TRY IT!!

"The internet connection experiences problems and
the current game session was saved. Please wait
until the internet connection is restored or
press OK button to return to the main menu."

Quit trying to make me out to be a IDIOT!

Quit trying to make me out to be a LYER

Because I am getting fed up with more than just the game not working off line.

All my pics are placed in the post I have made. IF YOU choose not to want to see them, making or just are incapable of helping with the problem with out makeing me look like a fool. Then your help is pointless to me...

FOR THAT REASON I AM DONE!!:nope::Kaleun_Mad::mad:

I thank those of you that gave "USEFULL TIPS" that did resolve issues. For that I am very thankfull :yeah:.

I am REQUESTING the Web Master or Moderater to please LOCK THIS THREAD to prevent further posting. A problem is unresolvable and I am tired of be made out like a fool or lyer when this by fact before my eyes on my system CLEARLY not working.:shifty:

Once again...I am REQUESTING the Web Master or Moderater to please LOCK THIS THREAD to prevent further posting. :salute:

Hey Kessner

I am sorry that my post has upset you:oops:
It may help others.

Kessner,

I am really sorry that you got upset with Trevally, because he is one of the friendliest, most helpful and lesser conceited forum members around here, and I am sure he didn't deserve your anger :yep:

Talking about your problem, my ubi laucher settings are exactly like yours, except for the "Enable in game overlay" checkbox, unchecked and the "Disable all in game social notifications" checkbox, checked (but these should be unrelevant anyway). I have a question though: does the top right corner of your launcher's main tab display your username, as clearly shown in the second picture posted by Trevally? :hmm2:

:shifty:
In my post #21 page 2, there are two pics, I have no way to past the whole pic in the text spot on the fourm, But if you click on the lil pics, they WILL display what I have done. Yes my name shows up on the bar. I CAN start UP the game in OFF-LINE mode all the way to the menu. BUt when I go to to play a SAVED game or START a new game, it loads and then stops leaving me a Inet message of a NO connection, aborts and takes me BACK to the menu. The two pics are in my POST #21 page 2, they are the small pics below the post, Click on them to expand and you will see for yourself.

But NO ONE wants to LOOK :o...Instead of looking for them to see what I am talking about. It is easer to claim "I do not see a THING..." mock me and make me a fool or lyer WHEN THE PICS ARE RIGHT THERE! Than be ANY kind of help. So due to this action I realized that the problem can not
be-resolved because it is beyound anyone's understanding. Its $8.00 junkwere with a ball and chain, I will put up with it.

I suppose you have already tried switching the launcher to online mode, launched the game, closed it, switched back to off-line. :hmm2:
I am just guessing since, as you have correctly said, your problem is beyond our understanding... nonetheless, sometimes the solution to the oddest problems is in front of our eyes and we just can't see it :)

Wish you good luck anyway :up:

....Agreed.....good day to you sir..:salute:

Thank god, I'm about to go on deployment onboard USS SAN JACINTO and obviously won't have internet. I was hesitent to get this game for a while but it looks like a lot of bugs have been worked out and you guys have made some awesome mods for it.

first off, you need to check the attitude, people are just trying to offer suggestions to help you and no one is doing anything but trying to be nice to you. your attitude is a bit harsh towards the solutions offered to you and maybe some suggestions are "basic" and simple things, these things still need to be mentioned because we aren't there with you to double check all of your settings. don't be so quick to dismiss all of them so quickly right offhand as implying you are some how stupid or not applying to your situation. if you did everything correctly it would be working for you. the best way for everyone to get "on the same page" with a problem is to start with a basic check list and start at the beginning and go down the list one item at a time so everyone is exactly clear what is going on with your situation and your game.

second, with problems like yours it is 99% of the time just a small error in an incorrect setting somewhere and as silly and redundant as you may think the suggestions are, they often work for people because they simply overlooked something and were assuming they did everything correctly.

lastly, the game works for everyone else so you didn't buy the only copy of the game that doesn't work yet you act as thou you did. acting the way you are is NOT the way to get help for your problem and asking to close the thread because you don't want to hear any more suggestions as to how you fix your problem makes no sense :hmmm: even if you don't care any more, others can and will be helped by this discussion.

Understood clearly.....

I am having Ubisoft tech support to handle it now...

Thank you...

I wish you good luck with that. I sincerely hope they can find a solution for you.

But if they don't, come back here. There will be people here who will work with you to get your game working.

And to Webster: Well said, sir.

maybe the game just doesn't like him, Web, who knows? :) :har:

Hello fellow wolves !

I played SH3 and 4 a few years ago now, and i'd like to start hunting again.

I have one, simple, question : is SH5 enjoyable? I've read a lot about problems here and there, but what problems exactly cannot be solved by mods?

And are there crashes or game-breaking bugs?


Okay that was three questions :p.

Thank you for your time !

Good idea Mysterius! :up:
Yes, SH5 is VERY enjoyable :yep:
You won't be desapointed if following few rules:
- trust known working mods list
- don't mess around with mods wich may be incompatible
- always unzip them with 7Zip
- Unzip them on your desktop first, and open them to find the right mod inside and data folder to use
- Correct path always must be "mod name"/Data
- read carefully all threads info and mod readme info
- last, never play more than X512 (even X1024 in open sea) to avoid any bug and bad surprise

If CTD and/or bugs, it's either your fault, and/or your computer perf capacity.
All problems i encountered at first was always my fault :yep:
Sober megamod list is working fine, and the lists i mentioned here http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...78&postcount=1 are trouble free if corectely installed.

Agree with this statment and this one only...So I will, but I will tell AS IS.
"first off, you need to check the attitude"

I was a bit harsh, but then again I was tired of "statements close to", "in the same direction as" or "pointed twords" and "asumed as" this pointless statment...

"the game works for everyone else so you didn't buy the only copy of the game that doesn't work yet you act as thou you did"

It is the SAME AS or EQUAL TO and just as REDUNDANT as...

"Taking your car to a mech and telling him there is something wrong with your car and he and the other mech's are laughing at you and telling they have the same car and they do not have the problems and talk as if your stupid or mocking you."

"Trevally
Defence rests its case :rock:"
As if this is some kind of despute and not a problem issue..when it is a problem and not a dispute.

"Volodya61
tried to find these pics you posted earlier but no luck"
Even though they are clearly the attachments in post 21 page 2.
And his statment is in post 25 page 2.

"Targor Avelany
maybe the game just doesn't like him, Web, who knows? :har:"
My point on the spot, and that is too bad...

Now that is said and done...

Now were so many that touched this subject FAILED miserbly, and I do mean MANY as in EVERYBODY that mocked their insight to this problem.
I did discovered this...Someone had the SMARTEST REAL WORLD trouble shooting Responses that actully merit the problem in question.

From Thread "My Game Won't Patch"

*BigWalleye said
"Sorry you're having trouble. No, none of the SH series seems to work well out of the box. And WAEFRTD isn't an answer when they don't give you much D. Fortunately, there are folks here who will try to get you running.

Couple of questions: Where did you get your copy of the game? DVD or download? Where did you get your patch for v1.2? Did you use gu.exe? Have you looked at the upper right corner of the main menu screen to check the version number shown there? If it says V1.2.0, then your copy has already been patched.

I don't mean to impugn your competence with these questions. I'm just trying to figure out where the problem might be. Supply enough information and it's likely that someone here will recognize what is wrong and post a fix. "

*AND....Raymond6751
True, there are different patches for the boxed DVD version and the downloaded steam version. Also, did you alter the location of install from the default?

End from From Thread "My Game Won't Patch"


Which makes me re-think this...

"Ubi patched out the always-on internet requirement over a year ago. Once the game is installed and authenticated once, you can always go into the Uplay options and set it to "offline" mode. The game will still say that it is synchronizing save games, but this is moot in offline mode. You should have no problems."

And CLEARLY shows...the redundant statments....all this into the garbege
"I do not have any issues and I am in offline mode. "

"Well, I just tested this and it worked for 2 hours with no glitches or problems."

"the game works for everyone else so you didn't buy the only copy of the game that doesn't work yet you act as thou you did"
(end)
Now I NEVER SAID ONE THING, about the game not working correctly. I stated it will not Play in "OFFLINE MODE" with the internet "DISCONNECTED". Soooo.............

I do support this...and agree 100%

"the best way for everyone to get "on the same page" with a problem is to start with a basic check list and start at the beginning and go down the list one item at a time so everyone is exactly clear what is going on with your situation and your game."

So you do not need to be a VB Expert to understand the meaning of the words "trouble shooting"...Which puts this into question...
"Ubi patched out the always-on internet requirement over a year ago."

Now looking at Posts from Thread "My Game Won't Patch" got my wheels turning to look again at "none of the SH series seems to work well out of the box."

Like I said before...but with more info this time...

-I have the DVD, it is version 1.0.
-Back of Box says it is Made in Europe, No need for cd/dvd to play, unlimited installs, save games are synchronized online.
*PERMANENT CONNECTION IS REQUIERD TO PLAY THE GAME.
-Front of box has a spot that says "A internet connection is requierd to play the game".
-The box looks like a typical retail box by Ubisoft, so dose the disk.
-I bought it from a Amazon retailer on Amazon.com.
-The DVD was bought as NEW (I never by used unless the game is old enough for win98/win95)
-The game uses its own auto updater, and patches to the version 1.2 and claims it patched Successfuly.
-My Game can not play in offline mod disconnected from the internet..

To re-valuate this statment
"Ubi patched out the always-on internet requirement over a year ago."
I decided to LOOK at what the patches really do..

There is NOTHING here that supports this claim...
"Ubi patched out the always-on internet requirement over a year ago."


I go to play the game again after it was reinstalled fresh with patches 1.1 and 1.2 installed direct (I have them both downloaded).
By the use of "Trevally's" pics/pictures/images what EVER you wish to call them...as a guid for me to fallow which basicly leads to the same thing I have already done BEFORE this thread, I re-do again in case I missed something. Start the game, start a new Campaign, game begains and then aborts with this repeated reason displayed...

"The internet connection experiences problems and
the current game session was saved. Please wait
until the internet connection is restored or
press OK button to return to the main menu."

I go to check the Log infomation for attempting and failing to play the game in offline mode and disconnected...

My own Conclusion is....
My copy of the game clearly CAN NOT be played without a internet connection...

With my Generic Patcher enable ONLY the SH_NClient patches. That will disable the Orbit Listener and should stop your connection problem.
