Hi Sjizzle.
Its a digital download (non-Steam copy.)
I can confirm that the game runs fine right up to patching with Generio Patcher.
I can load all mods and it still runs. The issue only happens once I've run the Generic Patcher.
The good news is that it now seems to run once patched, but ONLY if Uplay browser is disabled in the patcher.
Given the pain getting to this point, I can live with that as long as I'm able to progress the campaign without Uplay (hence my earlier question.)
I've done a lot of digging on why there multiple instances of the Sh5.exe are generated when I try to launch the game - its taking me off in areas that are beyond my feeble tech knowledge.
When I try to run the game it generates 3 instances of SH5.exe but doesn't actually run. It will create additional instances every time I double-click the exe. The other weird thing is that I can't end the processes - even with admin privileges. From what I can gather SH5.exe is calling on other process(es) that must be killed first - these are NOT Uplay services (I've already tested that) so can only guess its something Windows / OS related.
Just to confirm, the snapshot file I'm supposed to restore is located in TDW_GenericPatcher_v_1_0_168_0\Snapshots correct?
Thanks
