Application Error

TheRyeCatcher · 03-01-13, 03:15 PM

I've only been playing SH5 for about 3 months now. I've never been prompted to patch the game. I had downloaded a bunch of mods along with the enabler and the game has run fine...no CTD or errors. I was reading one of the mod readme files recently and saw that it says you must be patched.

I used the enabler to remove all mods, then ran the GU. The patch appeared to install just fine...same with the Ubisoft launcher. I have not yet tried re-installing any of the mods. When I launch the game, everything looks normal until I get an error that says:

sh5.exe - Application Error
Application has generated an exception that could not be handled.
Process ID=0x1628 (5672), Thread ID=0x164c (5708).
Click OK to terminate the application
Click CANCEL to debug the application

Not sure what to do here...or what I've done to cause this. I've tried un-installing and re-installing, but same results. Most of the programming stuff you guys do here is well above my pay grade, but I figured I would ask in case one of you salty guys had some advice.

Thanks in advance for any assistance!

Get Patch 1.2 and install it. Mods will not work until you do that. Here's a link to a thread that has the patch download link.... http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=202662

And hopefully you have the DVD for the SH5. Downloads aren't really the good way to get SH5 installed..... especially the Steam download.

Gary, again? Why did you decide that d/l version is bad way?
I realize that you like DVD/CD more than others types of DATA.. but..

V, I say DVD only because so many have been having problems with the downloads. They shouldn't but do.... seems to me it's the nature of the beast.

Just wanted to say "thanks" to everyone for the help! Does it matter that the 1.2 patch has "eu" in it...and I'm in the US? My computer knowledge is very limited...would never have gotten this far if it weren't for the help of forum members posting step-by-step instructions.

Thank you!
