Default There is no button on the deck gun screen to enable the crosshair sight

Hi,
I have done searches on the deck gun and I understand there should be a button on the Deck gun screen to bring up the sights. I can not find a button anywhere on the screen that will bring up the sights. I also can't switch ammo types. I have fired all 240 rounds of the armor piercing rounds into damaged freighters at close range and it seems to have no effect. I am running Windows 7 with a 650Ti video card and the game is through Uplay (which I hate.
When I click on the deck officer and select man the deck gun, he yells man the the deck gun but nothing happens. I go down and click on the gun which allows me to man it, however I can't get the crosshair sights. Any further suggestions about the button for the sights and ammo switching would sure be apprecitaed. I am stumped.

Look in the upper left corner of your screen to the left of the ammo shells. Click on the icon that looks like the UZO or Binoculars.... that's what you're looking for. Click once and you get the the crosshair sights, click again and the view is closer, click again and you go back to the deckgun view.

Enjoy.

Thanks for the reply. My ammo icons are to the right of the gun and there are no other buttons just the three types of ammo. There is nothing in the upper rt corner. I deleted the game and am reinstalling it at the moment to see if that changes anything. For some reason its only downloading at 19 kbps and says it will take 58 hours. When I run a speed test it shows download speed at 5 mbps. I'm sure it's something to do with the damned Uplay.

No No No....Forget the download version. Downloads will only give you the problems you're having now, and you'll lose the money you spent on them.

Your best way is to buy the DVD version thru Amazon.com. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_no...t+Hunter+5+DVD.
By buying it you will have the DVD and a permanent key code in case you have problems and need to reinstall SH5 again.

I see that the one on amazon has a different case and it doesn't say online or that internet connection is required. I ordered and I'll see what happens.
