Take a look at this tutorial from page 2 of my SH5 tutorial thread

I had this problem with TWoS and have spent a few hours trying to find solution. It was nothing to do with TDW’s Generic File Patcher. Even vice versa. The bug appeared only with the properly patched by TDW’s Generic File Patcher game.
It was a wrong value "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Ubisoft\S ilent Hunter 5\GameUpdate\installdir" in the Windows registry and TWD*.py scripts with GetSH5InstallPath function did not work properly.
