Play Silent Hunter 5 in Offline Mode!
Playing with Ubisoft Connect Offline will let you use your own game saves itaken from C:\Documents\SH5\data\cfg SaveGames instead of the Cloud synchronized ones which maybe corrupted.
You may see a message asking where to take the saved games from.

Important
Your game should not be installed in the Program Files (x86) restricted directory.
If this is so then I would suggest that you uninstall and re-install again, use a registry cleaner before re-booting your system.

How To Use The Free Registry Cleaner Ccleaner

If you are installing for the first time or re-installing because of a problem it is essential that you use a Registry Cleaner as part of this process.

Ccleaner is free and is basically two cleaning tools one is a very good tool for uncluttering your PC and the other for keeping your registry in good shape.

I use the cleaner every day before I shut my PC down.
The Registry Cleaner can be used as and when required.

Recommended download link for Ccleaner.
http://www.filehippo.com/download_ccleaner/

This is a very simple installation.
Very easy to use.
Download Select > Run.
Now follow the Wizards instructions.

How to use the System Cleaner.

Close any internet activity you have open.

You are now back in the Bunker.
Go to the Flotilla Leader
What are my Mission Orders?
Follow the instructions for 1, 2 or 3 as required until you see a New Mission on the Navigation Map.

Each time you End the Patrol and start a New Mission your Map date will advance.
Your previous Patrol records are kept and can be viewed in the Captain’s Log (Hat) at any time.

Your Tonnage Bar and Campaign icons will still show your previous activity as you left it if you have this activated.

It is advisable to End the Patrol each time you have to return to your base to re-supply.

Refitting without ending the Patrol causes the data files to become larger and can lead to problems developing each time you refit so only use once in any one patrol.

Hi all:

I think I've done everything correctly when it comes to running SH5 offline, but I am still not able to accomplish missions. 1st mission: British Coastal Waters: I can highlight and choose it while at base (on the map) so that I can go out on patrol. But regardless of how many ships I sink, whether it's behind the red line OR patrolling around (360dgs and 91km circum) the highlighted patrol point, that mission is never complete and the white line at the bottom remains empty.

It might be senility (I'll bet I'm one of the oldest players here) but I would love some suggestions on what I could try

Hi Ronco

The ability to fill the tonnage bar seems to be a bit of a problem for some of us at the moment.

I have only had the problem since reinstalling from the dvd as the Uplay part kept of the installation kept coming up as a windows error.

I get the Game Play Launcher from Ubi.com although it is also available from Uplay.

I am also experiencing the same problem as you but on the Baltic Patrol.

I do not have an answer I am afraid.

It is generally recognised as not being a mod problem.

I normally play with around 40 mods but am just using 14 at present for the Baltic.

The most likely cause is the Ubisoft Game Launcher.

I have tried numerous combinations of the UBL in and out of the x86 Program folder and also I have tried using a UBL from a backup last June.

So for me it is w.i.p.

Check this thread out as it may be of some help to you

Did you install from a dvd or download?

Hi all!

With the explosion of the torpedo, the ship jumps up to tens of meters and rotates until to fall.
What from the mods caused this phenomenon?

[THEBERBSTER]

Hi Remon

Unless someone knows different it is just one of those things that happen in the game and I am not aware that it is a mod issue.

The last time I saw this happen was sinking a docked ship on the Baltic mission.
