Okay, I'm at work now but when I get home I will perhaps try to uninstall C++ completely and install the latest version

Is that a good idea? or is there a specific version I should try? To be honest I'm not too worried about other programs that may stop working as a result, I'm purely focused on SH5 at the moment and getting it working!

Cheers Zedi

When you re-installed, had you deleted all trace of SH5?
What environmental mod did you use?

I think that when this issue happens you will get a CTD during loading and not be able to get into the game at all.

I would suggest that you start from a clean slate.
Unistall all mods - uninstall game - delete all sh5 folders and the ones in your documents.

Re-install and update to patch1.2
Then check if you get ctds.

Hey,

I had Environmental Mod 2.0 installed with "Lighter Night Somewhat" that came with it and the Accurate German Flags mod.

I did not actually delete anything from my documents when I re-installed, totally forgot to look for those.

I will try it again soon, just been out with the missus after work and I don't feel like doing it now. Will keep you guys posted.

Cheers for the help yet again

Hey,

I have uninstalled the game, deleted the SH5 folder in my documents and reinstalled the game.

SUCCESS!!! It works now! I am literally about to launch a torpedo at the Aircraft Carrier as I type this.

Weird thing is the bearing was 190 Degrees and it suddenly changed to 60 Degrees for a capital ship sighting. It's as if it just appeared where it should've been all along, in the port of Plymouth. Very strange but I can at least now continue the game.

Thanks guys for all your help and suggestions. I really appreciate it, was starting to have some doubts that I'd never get to finish the game. But I won't hold my breath just yet.

Hope it stays fixed for you

If you add mods - one at a time and its best to follow some of the mod lists (sober and stoianm etc)
