Silent Hunter 5 & Windows 10

[popflynn]

Hi 3, 4 and 5 all work on w10 or at least it does on my gear.

[THEBERBSTER]

Seconded.

[AstroMelly]

All running fine for me on Mac (Win10 via BootCamp) - I think the only thing to look out for it that the updater does not seem to work in the UPlay GUI - it fails silently.

Luckily for me I was following the instructions for installing Wolves Of Steel which include finding and running the gu.exe so I never saw it crash.



One problem for me at the moment is the font size used by the map tools (I've got a 15" screen). I've tried searching the forum to see if there's an easy way to increase this or perhaps made the numbers bold - even better would be to increase the offset from the protractor in particular. Perhaps I'm just getting old and need some bifocals, but it appears ridiculously small and difficult to read to me...

Anyone have a thread to point me to or some other advice?

Cheers and Happy Hunting!!!

Hi I have got sh3,sh4,sh5 running on windows 10 anniversary update ok but after a fresh install the documents folders now go to documents cloud as default even in offline mod and game update to 1.2 is not automatically done.

I can't get it to work

Uplay just crashes on me when I try to log in offline and reinstalling it many times hasn't changed anything. The procedure to follow on the website doesn't work for me as so just wondering if you guys have any suggestions.

Not trying to look stupid but I couldn't try the sh5.exe file trick as I can't find it so any info on that would be great.


This is want it reads when I try to log on offline as I can't log on online:

Uplay has detected an unrecoverable error and must be shutdown. Crash dump created at "C:/Program Files (x86)/Ubisoft/Ubisoft Game Launcher/crashes

Hi everyone,
I need your advice please.



I've installed SH5 on my Windows 11, 17" laptop.
I've set the 'Run as Admin', compatibility and DPI settings as suggested in this thread, and it appears to be running okay. However, the message box and the on-screen controls are so small, they are practically unreadable (see link below). My resolution is 3840x2160, but if I reduce it, the game just runs in a small window. I can't seem to find a solution to this so can anyone help me out please?
Many thanks

ahoy, there, Tbird.

cannot see your photo (404 error) as it is probably stored in a private area for your userid.

no matter, have you tried using the 16:9 aspect ratio?
unfortunately, that is the highest resolution that Ubi have presented us to use.
keep in mind that 1920x1080 was state of the art back in 2007 when Ubi released this game.
now, 15 years later, the world has evolved but Ubi's design has remained in 2007.
sad, but true.
good luck!

Hi KaleunMarco,

I had tried setting it to 1920x1080 but as I said, it just ran in a very small window. However, after reading your reply I had another go and realised that I had not unchecked the 'Run in windowed mode' box. I did that, and now it looks fine!


Thanks again

that's excellent news!
sometimes, we old Kaleuns forget about some of the less sophisticated options.

You know, sometimes people make a post requesting help and they learn what the problem is and how to fix it, but they reply with "nevermind, I fixed it" without sharing what they discovered worked.

You sir, are not one of those people. Nominated

You would appear to be an exception as Windows 10 does not appear to be compatible with SH3.
Maybe the fact you have a new system might be the difference.
