I'm aware that they stopped patching SH5 years ago. But they still might dish out a recompiled binary for compatibility reasons. Maybe they want to bring SH5 on uplay+ (SH3 and SH4 are there, SH5 is missing), and needed to make a patch because of that. A simple binary recompile with different framework version is all it takes to break the binary compatiblity required for the generic patcher.
I'm not sure what more than deleting the whole directory, downloading the game, shutting down uplay and starting the TWoS installer I can do. The SH5.exe is different than the Generic Patcher expects.
I installed the mod 5 days ago the same way, without any issues. Today I come home, and after a while I see a pop-up on uplay "Silent Hunter 5 is ready to be played", which means that uplay downloaded something. After this SH5 refused to launch and crashed on the initial loading screen.
After I freshly reinstalled the game and the mod the game crashes after I try to load into any mission.
