The problems arise when you start the game from the SH5.exe and you run into problems and Uplay decides not to co-operate.
My suggestion is to go to the Control Panels Program and Fatures and uninstall the Ubisoft/Uplay Game Launcher.
You now have the option to install a completely independent game launcher in any drive and folder of your choice, which in my case I use this one in D:\Ubisoft, the folder before the main Silent Hunter 5 main game folder.
SH5 Game Launcher Install It Anywhere On Any Drive > Includes Download Link
If you now open up the game launcher and go to the first game launcher application which is the 32 bit one (not the 64 bit also showing) you can change it by going to properties and then run it as an administrator.

I believe there is some miscommunication. I think for all of us vanilla SH5 runs fine. When re-installing vanilla SH5 it seems to automatically update to version 1.2.0 (or some sort of hybrid that only some players recently got) without any user input which I think is the issue. The problems start when we install TWoS mod.
For me personally, when I start the patcher to install the mod, only 8 patches work. there is a pop up for the 9th saying: 'version error. A version of SH5 is a different version than expected. Patch: independent engine controls change 2. Reason: Bytes read does not equal bytes expected by patch'.
The rest of the installation goes fine. TWoS even starts and gets to the main menu. The problem is that when we press continue campaign or new campaign it causes an instant CTD. The thing with UPlay is that you have to be online to download and install the game, so the game gets automatically updated upon installation.
The seemingly obvious issue is that SH5 has been updated for some players and is now incompatible with TWoS. Which sucks...
My apologies if you completely understand what is going on and it is my error but hopefully this clears up some misunderstandings.
