Does anybody have a link to the 1.2 patch that is "unpacked?"
 

I'm one of the sad bastards who is trying to update the Gold edition to patch 1.2 but can't find a patch. Someone once said to use an unpacked version and provided a link, but that has long since become defunct. I have the UPlay Gold edition and it only goes to version 1.1.5. Any ideas? I know this is a dead horse to many people, but all my searching so far has turned up nothing.

Yep, Volodya61 posted it a while back:

Unfortunately the link is dead. You can try sending a PM to Volodya, but again it may take several weeks before he reads your message, as he hasn't logged in on subsim since the last month of June.

I suppose you have already tried running the updater manually (C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5\Support\GameUpdater\GU.exe). Don't you?
I reinstalled the game recently, and with some manual tweaks, now the game works flawlessy (v. 1.2). I own the CD version of the game. Gold Edition or not, it shouldn't make much difference in therms of game updating.

Thou shalt not patch or mod while drunk
 

Thanks Gap, I got it sorted out. Your reminder about using the manual update is what got me patched. After that I was able to successfully install the Wolves of Steel mod and start my first campaign. Now to reacquaint myself with the gameplay!
