Broken UI, PLEASE help me

happyhunting · 10-15-23, 04:52 AM

Hello guys.
After a few years without playing this amazing game, I reinstalled it together with TWOS (Now on a different PC).
When I start the game and go into the hangar, however, I am met with the sorrowing sight of a broken UI, more specifically, the charts are black.

I have of course researched and every solution provided doesn't work for me. Things I have tried:
-Windows 7 compatibility mode
-Admin rights
-Directx9 download
-DPI scaling
-Full screen, windowed...

I suspect the problem has something to with the Generic file patcher. When I click open and then have to smash "enter" 40 times, I can`t do it, because for whatever reason it is trying to send the files to the desktop, so I have to manually send them to the sh5.exe location. Then when I start the game for the first time, I realise Pageeventcamera_Draggables.TDW is not in the game folder, but outside, in D:\. Moving it to the game folder doesn't fix it.

Can you help me?

In which path did you install SH5?
It should not be installed under "C:\Program Files" or "C:\Program Files (x86)".
