Hang in there .. I'm sure you will manage .. it's not rocket science .. just frustrating sometimes
Don't forget to;
1. Copy your 'C:\Users\Documents\SH5' folder (save it wherever you want on your HD)
2. Delete the 'C:\Users\Documents\SH5' folder (The folder will be recreated when you launch your reinstalled SH5 the 1st time)
3. Uninstall SH5
4. Check the 'C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5' folder is gone. If not delete it
5. Scan your system for leftovers (CCleaner is a good option for this)
6. Install SH5
7. Launch SH5 (make sure it gets patched. If not run C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5\Support\GameUpdater\gu.exe
6. Copy/paste > let overwrite your old 'C:\Users\Documents\SH5\data\cfg' folder (to get your savegames and game progress back)
