Quit game, delete all xxxx_draggables.TDW in your main game folder and restart.

The problem is that he probably doesn't have those file in his main install folder...

If it's that then I guess the Generic Patcher and OFEV are not pointing to his install and Menu directory and he must redo it.

I don't think so. This has something to do with write protected install location or administration rights. It's a system problem commonly encountered with people who don't understand their OS quite well...

Yes, I was assuming his location is not write-protected...
I don't know if with U-Play someone has the choice of installing in a non-write-protected location, if yes, OP, then install the game in e.g. C:\Games\SH5, this would be a folder where you have free access at any time (although I don't know about Win10...).

I have the same problem, all other things work but i have those pop up window. And i cant close them. Can anyone have a idea how to fix this? Tnx

Go in your main game dir, delete all xxxx_draggables.TDW files and restart. If your sh5.exe does run in Admin Rights and your game folder is not write-protected, then this is the only reason for a grafic glitch AFAIK. I assume you did install and update the game correctly, also the TWoS mod. Then maybe you also need to set your antivirus not to block your game files.


Guys, everyone posting such kind of problems should google about what is a 'protected folder' in Windows and why you should install 'older' games in a non-protected folder. A little more than just basic computer knowledge is necessary to run SH5 and its mods. Besides, most if not all problem solvings are treated in the sticky posts or the sticky tutorials.
