Please don't flay me but I'm going to ask a very stupid question!

Hello everybody! I decided to cave in and purchase SH5 over the weekend and whilst following the procedure to get it working with all the lovely mods I seem to have encountered a bit of a snag.

I looked around the forums and did find someone apparently suffering the same issue but only they posted in their thread and it seemed they resolved it :/.

Basically, when I set uPlay in the offline mode I find myself seemingly unable to launch the game. A grey box simply pops up saying "Thank you for playing Silent Hunter (blah blah)" with a bit of information about time played.

Can anyone enlighten me as to how to solve this issue? Any help would be enormously appreciated!

What mods ?

Hello Sober!

As of my first attempt at playing the game in offline mod I'd only installed the TDW Generic Patcher.

Currently I'm in the process of setting up your wonderful mod compilation though

Just curious here for testing purposes:

download the newest version of my Generic Patcher app (v1.0.116.0). Enable the SH5 Disable Uplay browser patch. See if you can play a single mission or not

I did that and it seems that allows me to launch the game and play a single mission!

It's midnight here in blighty so I've got to dash off but I really appreciate your help and your hard work in general!

That just simply says that there's no problem with your SH5 installation. You still have to figure out why the UPlay is giving you problems. That Disable Uplay browser patch will NOT update campaign progress (game copy protection) thus it's only good for testing purposes of the campaign or playing single missions (without UPlay holding you up!)
