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.
