SH5.exe - where?

Segwin · 08-03-12, 12:40 PM

Well I downloaded SH5 Gold from Amazon (having regrets already). In looking at Sober's Mod information one of the first threads he points to is the mod of the SH5.exe by TheDarkWraith (the unoffical 1.3 patch). TDW mentions backing up the SH5.exe so I went looking for it. Seems that when I go to play start the sim I have to use Uplay.exe which sends me to Uplay and I start the sim from there????

Did a file search for SH5.exe and none was found on the hard drive. What on earth is going on?

I thought all this DRM stuff was behind us but do I have to go through Uplay for SH5 now???

Is there a thread or two that brings noob's up to speed on SH5?

check the settings options in the uplay launcher and turn online and sync saving off .

Right click on the SH5 shortcut and select "open file location"

most users .exe will be here - C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5

Crap - it's the Amazon download then. I have c:\program files (X86)\Ubisoft\UplayLauncher

I should have known not to download

To early old, to late smart.

Did you just check this folder: c:\program files (X86)\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5

It should be there!

The problem is that the Amazon d/l, after installed, does not create that directory.
