Same damn thing.

I played this game every day. And yes, total reinstall of N360 (antivirus). I changed nothing. I am sorry no one can replicate this but it's the most frustrating experience so far., I've lost all my saved games, and the game I loved to play in the first place. I can't even start from scratch.... Only if I don't use the patcher, and we know the difference that it makes.

Might as well give up.

Have you tried disabling norton 360 for the duration of the test, with your system not connected to internet for safety reasons ? (set sh5 to offline first)

Could someone reproduce relevant eventlog entries for the same time that the modded sh5.exe is tried from the application and security log ?

Have you guys tried to move the game folder and launch the sh5.exe directly from the moved folder ? (in order to make sure no registry setting or config setting is messing stuff up)

Which version of Windows 7 are you using ?

Do you have some service running protecting you from mallicious software altering your files ?

......................
everybody experiencing this, provide me this info please, and I'll do my best to help. Without that info, it's taking stabs in the dark in hope of hitting bullseye.

Moved the directory.., Shut off 360.. Reinstalled windows 7 ultimate N 64, Reinstall SH5..

Now it won't even play straight from the box, even without the patcher. I get to the main menu, try to start a new career, and I wait forever, until I am finally told the internet crashed out and then I am told (after hitting OK.. my only option_) that my rank is promising (without ever going to sea) and that my camera is out of sectors/....

I hate even trying anymore, knowing I'll be disappointed again. Story of my life.,

Have you updated the game to v 1.2? Sometimes Ubi's autopatcher fails dong its work, and manual patching is required.

It sounds that by now your install folder is FUBAR, and you should start with uninstall, delete left over directories and files, reinstall, patch and try again. If you want to prevent having to do that again, craete a zipped copy of your game install dir right after patching. Do the same for your save dir.

Hang in there .. I'm sure you will manage .. it's not rocket science .. just frustrating sometimes

plj · 10-25-13, 04:54 PM

Success!!!

If you get 0x0000005 error when trying to start the patched .exe, the most likely cause is you running Norton 360 and it not trusting the file anymore.

You are a genius. Too simple. Followed the steps from Norton and game loads with patched exe.

Made file trusted and all is good.
Thank you for helping a pc thicky.

Pity I won't enjoy playing too much this weekend as got stuff on and now bedtime.

Thank you again

Don't forget to;
1. Copy your 'C:\Users\Documents\SH5' folder (save it wherever you want on your HD)
2. Delete the 'C:\Users\Documents\SH5' folder (The folder will be recreated when you launch your reinstalled SH5 the 1st time)
3. Uninstall SH5
4. Check the 'C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5' folder is gone. If not delete it
5. Scan your system for leftovers (CCleaner is a good option for this)
6. Install SH5
7. Launch SH5 (make sure it gets patched. If not run C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5\Support\GameUpdater\gu.exe
6. Copy/paste > let overwrite your old 'C:\Users\Documents\SH5\data\cfg' folder (to get your savegames and game progress back)

Kevin_Rissell · 10-29-13, 07:38 PM

OK.. After all of those steps, AND after re-trusting sh5.exe AFTER using the patcher (it's a different file you know, and 360 thinks it is a "new" threat), and finally disabling that stupid "Norton Insight" (which isn't as insightful as it used to be), I can finally launch without the c00000005 error. Thanks!

However, it still won't let me play the game. I gave up on anything saved and just deleted it all, and I have yet to do anything other than the patcher, so no MOD soup. Straight SH5 with TDW's patcher (latest version, new download).

When I try to start a new campaign, it goes through the motions until it reaches the point where the screen goes dark, and a moment later you should be in the game at the Bunker... AT that point I get the "Internet has been disconnected" error, waiting forever is useless since it isn't down anyway, and it doesn't reset or try at all to see if the internet is up, so all I can do is click OK and get thrown back to the main menu.

Ideas? I enabled everything in/out through the firewall for Uplay and SH5, just in case that was it. Also, NOTHING in the patcher concerning ORBIT or Uplay scans or whatever... Didn't monkey at all with default network anything....

Hi Kevin

Not sure if you're on Steam, are you?

You could check this

Kevin_Rissell · 11-08-13, 03:06 AM

Silent Hunter Gold, I believe.. Got rid of Norton 360, and replaced with Kaspersky, though it's almost as paranoid, and just as bad as Norton 360 when it comes to actually following user commands and choices.... Annoyingly decides to "Help me" and save me from myself.... which Microsoft and many other self-righteous and arrogant companies seem to feel is A-OK, but which I find rather downright dismissive and degrading.

That being said, after cleaning out my saved games stuff, AND deleting the directories (made the difference), the next clean install allows me to use the patcher (latest version), load all the MODS I had enabled before this adventure began, and then play a single mission...... NO campaign play though. It just crashes with the "Internet is broken" thing again.... and that is either doing the campaign first, or doing it immediately after the single mission (and using the "save" feature in the single mission to delete any previously saved games......since it always saves the internet lost game..)

Personally, I am starting to wonder if it is the NSA retaliating against everyone they still spy on (all of us), who have made disparaging comments (picked up by the PC microphone we think isn't being actively used) about the blatant, weekly lies to Congress and the World at large by the leaders of the NSA programs, and how stupid they are really getting when they are swearing that they only spy on justifiable terrorist related threats, from the German Chancellor, the President of Mexico, and 37 other world leaders (They must have converted the U.N. to a terrorist organization or something) It's rather comical to listen to the British Prime Minister toe the party line and repeat the same BS that's being ladled out upon Congress, since he almost chokes trying to get those words out..... Oh well.... Of course, it all conjecture, and you'd think have better things to do with budgets approaching 100 Billion Dollars of our tax money, but it seems the number one use of all this spying on American's stuff is carried out by the privileged NSA operatives that want to track an ex-lover, stalk a current/potential lover, destroy a romantic rival, and exact revenge on those who so unwisely spurned said NSA operatives's advances....

All in all, I'd rather be playing SH5

Silent Steel · 11-08-13, 05:13 AM

Seconded, the NSA is the culprit here

But, you say you"ve done a (or several) fresh reinstalls, right. And, yur SH5 still keeps crashing...

And, what are you referring to when you say 'patcher'?

Well, to make a proven, proper clean install - PM me your e-mail address so I can send you my latest, updated info sheet on this.

I'm downloading the program now from Uplay, after reading about all of the problems with the Steam version. Should I still do all of the patches, or is there a single zip file somewhere that someone offers that has everything in it that needs to be patched.

I ask because I'm not to tech savvy when it comes to editing files and stuff...

Aktungbby · 12-23-13, 11:22 PM

Nope:

go with Fifi's or Sober's mod list for starters to ease into the MOD WORLD...

Good to see yet another new mate!

I'm not sure what you mean when you say 'is there a single zip file somewhere that someone offers that has everything in it that needs to be patched'

Anyway, since you are downloading and starting from scratch, right? You should pay attention to that during install the SH5 should get patched automatically to v1.2.0

Make sure you see this in the main menu;

This should do the trick

Can't make CO2 working. If i'm using TDW's patcher (only the patcher - no other mods) on vanilla-files, then CO2 is virtually switched off. Spent several hours submerged for testing it and CO2 production was 0%. Has anyone else this problem?
