Generic Patcher v1.0.164.0 Help

World_Devastator · 06-03-14, 10:08 PM

I need help i keep getting this screen when I use the Generic Patcher v1.0.164.0, I do not have the steam version of the game

It happens when I hit open then take it to file path "C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5"

this happens to every file to try to set correct file path too.

Hi World_Devastator

Are you using a Patcher for the first time?

Is it replacing a previous Patcher?

If it is replacing a previous Patcher did you take a snapshot and then disable?

Previous Patchers have up to recently been enabled through TDW NewUI.

With the latest Patcher 164 this has become the first stand alone version.

No first time patch. I have used several peoples guides and still no luck. I am at a loss. People have had this problem but they answer fix and dont give the solution

Hi World_Devastator

The original CameraManager.act 21.04.2010 is 48.9kb or 50,088 bytes

This is replaced by the GFP 164 one of 73.0kb or 74,752 bytes

Did you make a copy of your original file?

Delete the new GFP

Copy back the original file

Get a fresh 164

Follow my Post #2 instructions

If this does not work send me a PM and we can try plan B

I was having a stroll back from shopping when I had a thought.

Did you make a path error and not send it to the Silent Hunter 5 Main Folder and it has gone somewhere else?

The file will got to any path you send it to, it will not know it is a mistake.

The error that you are looking at could this be the original default file and that would explain why it cannot read it?

I am going to C:Program Files/Ubisoft/Silent Hunter 5

I bought the game from amazon and then it made me download it from uplay, is the game not patched to 1.2 from uplay or do I manually need to do this? (Maybe the problem)

If not I dont know where to go next, like before I have used not only one but a few peoples "how to's" on here and i keep getting same error, I have re-installed the game and the patcher to no avail.

I really appreciate the help, this is really the only thing holding me up lol
