Tiny execution script

I will update the download links with new scripts in a few moments, I will let people know, meanwhile you can edit the script manually. Just remember to run it as administrator if you want realtime to work.

Ok. So if my game is installed here E:\Program Files\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5, how exactly should the script in my batch file shortcut read?

if you put the script somewhere else than in the silent hunter 5 folder, then you need to make the script like this:

start /d "E:\Program Files\Ubisoft\SilentHunter 5" "runrealtime" /realtime sh5.exe

I just tried putting start /d "E:\Program Files\Ubisoft\SilentHunter 5" "runrealtime" /realtime sh5.exe in my Target line and it says 'start' is not a valid script when I try to apply. Should it go in the "Start in:" line or the "Target:" line?

You do not have to edit the shortcut at all. Download my realtime script again, it is changed. Then put it in the E:\Program Files\Ubisoft\SilentHunter 5 folder, then drag a shortcut of that script to your desktop, then launch the game by using the shortcut.

Sorry for the mess:

Change script to this: %windir%\system32\cmd.exe /c start "runrealtime" /realtime "C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5\sh5.exe"

My bad again. Remember to set correct path first. Some may have other paths. This time it will work.

Ok I'll try that. Should this be the path for both my desktop shortcut AND the batch file in my SH5 folder?

Ok. I tried the new script with the new download. Put it in my SH5 folder, created a shortcut to the desktop and added the new script line. No dice.

I'm guessing one of two things is wrong.

1. I put the scirpt in the Target line of the shortcut wrong. (Are the quotations right?) It looks like this EXACTLY.

%windir%\system32\cmd.exe /c start "runrealtime" /realtime "E:\Program Files\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5\sh5.exe"

or

2. I'm not in administrator mode. How do I confirm and/or change this?

I noticed something wrong that you are doing, you are not supposed to be putting the script inside a shortcut, you are supposed to use the batch script, put a shortcut of the batch script on your desktop, dont put the script inside the shortcut target, that will not work.

I will explain it again:

1: Download my script.
2: Put the script in the sh5 folder.
3: Edit the path inside the script to your own path
4: Drag a shortcut of that script to your desktop
5: Dont touch the shortcut, dont edit it, dont even smell on it
6: Right click the shortcut and "run as administrator"
OPTIONAL: 7: If you already use an admin account you can skip step 6 and just run it normally

Yep.

But like I said you dont need to edit the shortcut, the target folder will be filled in automatically when you copy a shortcut of the batch to your desktop.
