U-Play & SH5 problem

[Fubar2Niner]

@HW3 & Peter

Good news, I disabled;

"Display Scaling On High DPI Settings"

Under the SH5.exe compatibility settings.

At last I have full screen, sound and mouse. Got an options screen too No time to tweak tonight, so it looks like Saturday is going to be fun

@HW

Keep me updated on your progress please mate

Oh BTW did I say how much I love Ubi *cough, cough*

Best regards.

This could be very useful tip to remember...

Can you summarize once again symptoms you had so I can enlist them in TWoS "solving issues" documentation...

No problem Kaleun

On starting U-Play and selecting SH5 and play. The intro would start in windowed mode, in top left quarter of screen. No sound. There was no way to escape the intro. When intro finished game would crash back to U-Play. If you hit play again the whole thing would rinse and repeat. Hitting task manager and killing the SH5.exe *32 under the Processes tab is the only way to escape.

Hope this helps.

Best regards.

Mine was the same except it was full screen and would just crash back to uplay after the intro movie. I did a full SH5 and Uplay uninstall, registry clean, and reinstall, and all is working now, TWoS 1.06.09 installed.

Hi F2N
Your original game launcher defaults automatically to the Program File (x86) directory on your C: drive.
This should be uninstalled correctly and a registry cleaner used.
The new one I gave you can be installed anywhere, on any drive.
Just remember to run the 32 bit game launcher.exe application as an administrator.

Yep did all that Peter, but still no dice. However disabling

"Display Scaling On High DPI Settings"

Under the SH5.exe compatibility settings, did the trick. I did take the opportunityto d/l your launcher, just to get the bugger out from C:\ Program etc.

Thanks for your inputs chaps, now time to start getting those mods

Best regards.

Just going to grab the d/l now HW, will keep you posted. BTW Jim Deadman from subsim.com posted me a nice looking mod list with some screenies. If this works out, who knows, I may have two installs

All the best
