Can't Get Subsim/Amazon Copy SH5 to Update to V1.2

[glilley]

Successfully updated game to V1.2 & will now load TWoS 2.2. Thanks skin-nl and the rest for your help! See last post for what happened.



Running Win10 Pro on Inspiron 3670 with Geforce GT 300/2GB as video card. Downloaded SH5 thru the Subsim/Amazon link. Below was a review of the download and the guy seemed to know what he was talking about:
"5 stars...IF you upgrade the install immediately through Ubisoft (Here's how: DO NOT run the original Uplay software that comes with the game download.

- Uninstall the original Uplay that comes with the game, grab the latest version of Uplay from Ubisoft's website, run the new Uplay software in the Administrator role and it will update the game to V1.2).

- Next: right-click the game executable file Silent Hunter 5\sh5.exe and set compatibility mode to "Windows 7", or "Windows 10" in my case (can try others like Vista or Win XP as well, if necessary) and check the box "Administrator role", and check box for "Overide high DPI scaling behavior"...very important! If you now launch Silent Hunter 5 it will run.
1. Completed the upgrade ensuring that UPLAY has upgraded the Sh5 exe correctly (as above)
In the compatibility
2. Set the exe to being in Admin Mode
3. Set the Disable Full screen optimizations
4. Go into Change High DPI Settings:
5. Program DPI ticked
6. Override high DPI scaling factor for Applications"

So I loaded SH5 as admin into D:\SH5 folder after turning off my AV. After load but before I tried to open SH5 I uninstalled Uplay and loaded latest Uplay into same dir as SH5. I then adjusted the SH5.exe as suggested above. I then fired up the Uplay shortcut on desk top, logged in online, went off line and changed settings to login offline from now on. Started SH5 from Uplay and the SH5 version is still 1.04 and not 1.2. Am I doing something wrong?? Thanks! Gene
