these are the 4 main issues I'm currently facing

1. First of all I encounter quite a lot CTD's. I never got the game running longer than 1 hour without having a CTD. So that is nearly unplayable.
   Edit 15.10
   I did another install dance.
   With the Mod soup below I wasn't even able on a new career to get through the Kiel Canal withouth CTD, but this time the CTD left me at least with Debug that the crash was related to the msvcr90.dll. Steam Client was always trying to install .NET Framework 2.0 SP1. The Problem here is that I need to have both version x68 and x64 of .NET Framworks installed as these are needed for different add-om to my Development Tools.
   To refuse Steam of trying to installing the .NET Framework on every game launch adding following registry entry fixed the issue
   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Wow6432Node\Valve\Stea m\Apps\48110\ windowsInstaller_x64 REG_DWORD =1
   but still CTD's
   
   So another dance this time MOD by MOD game launch new career new mission will update if the CTD's were related to ne of the MODS
   
   End Edit
2. Game Syncronisation, even so I turned off the Sync option in the Ubi Launcher save games are syncronised with the Server. I did few fresh installs, deleting the SH5 folder from user/my documents, too. Old save games are appearing in the folder again after the first game load.
3. Windowed mode, the game always loads in full screen mode, even so I set the option to be windowed mode
4. free camera, my campain setting is relism, but external camera turned on. If I try to use the external camera either throught the TDW camera option or the normal in game option buttons I stuck to the boat and I can't use the mouse to rotate the view.

here are my specs:

I started playing SH5 a week ago and have really enjoyed the game, lots of fun, started off with a basic mod list and have had a couple CTDs, hopefully, due to maxing out the graphics settings.
Last night, I gave antilag a try, installed antilag.cfg and d3d9.dll in C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5 and set the max framerate at 35 fps.
Here is the problem; the game loads but the saved campaign does not load. The little radar symbol in the lower right hand corner just sits and spins and spins and spins. After moving the antilag files out of C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5 and restarting the game, the saved campaign is able to load normally.
I have not had a chance to play around and find a fix, but maybe folks in this forum have seen this before, can come up with a fix or point me in the right direction.

Hi mate,

SH5 stops working you say, and no add ons.
Are you patched to v1.2?
Do you mean CTD on launch or when you get into the main menu?
Or does it CTD in game when playing?
Please tell when/where it stops working.

You can be confident, in this forum with all it's brilliant members you'll soon be up and running. :up:

Cheers

I get to select "Continue Campaign" then loading takes forever, goes to a dark screen and I hear a "click" audio and then I get the Windows7 message about program has stopped working , check online.......... or Close Program. When I close this out I get the server page with the After Game Report. :damn::damn::damn:

Look at the top left of the page when in main menu to see if you have v1.2
If you dont have 1.2 go here and run app
C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5\Support\GameUpdater\GU.exe
This will update your game to v1.2.

While playing SH5 (or trying to) the frame rate and mouse cursor are slow and jumpy in game while at the main menu the mouse cursor moves normal and the background moves normal too.

Anyone got any ideas ?
