TWoS crashing since update.

ZeeboOnline · 10-14-19, 07:29 AM

Hello everyone. My SH5 just updated through UPlay and now when I launch the game with TWoS mod through the UPlay client the game runs fine up until I either click continue campaign or try to load a save. The game makes an attempt to load but crashes every time. Thanks for any help in advance.

You should try to start new campaign, as update isn’t probably save compatible

Thank you for your response. An even newer update just downloaded that was 3GB.

When I try to start a new campaign the game doesn't even try to load and crashes immediately. Also since the update I've noticed that the Ubisoft logo when you first start the game has been appearing. Now it could be that I'm going crazy but I don't believe that was happening before the update. I have tried uninstalling and re-installing both the game and the mod but nothing has changed.

I know that this is most likely an easy fix but I am inexperienced when it comes to mods with this game and any help would be appreciated.

I would suggest starting again from scratch.
Uninstall the game from the control panels program and features.
Use a registry cleaner.

Re-install SH5 and when the game is updated check that the game loads to the main menu before installing TWoS.
Update SH5 From v1.0.5.0 To v1.2.0 Immediately After Installing > Pictorial

Download and install the latest TWoS full version 2.2.16 which will not need the update.
Make sure the instructions are followed.

I have the same problem. This afternoon Uplay downloaded an update for Silent Hunter 5, since then TWoS doesn't work.
It crashes when I try to load in game, even when with new Campaign.

I've tried a clean reinstall, but the Generic Patcher is unable to patch SH5, as it has different version, than expected. It is still 1.2 though. Looks like Ubisoft released a silent patch that broke the mod.

Vanilla SH5 works without problems.

Hi,

What do you mean by a " simple sh5.exe replacement will mend all uplay related issues." Have Silent Hunter 5 and TWoS on one computer and they run ok. Downloaded another version of Silent Hunter and the mod on a newer computer and ran all the updates and the mod does not work. Will copying the game application from the first computer and pasting it into the game folder on the newer computer do the trick?

Thanks

The latest Uplay downloads SH5.exe will only support the stock game. To mod a game you need to replace this exe from one from a different source already updated to v1.2 which solves the problem and the game can then be modded successfully.
To install or re-install a dvd its SH5 exe can be used but not with the default game launcher as an error occurs. The game launcher needs to be replaced and the game is set to be played offline.
My SH5 tutorial signature below has more information in the tutorial menu page 31.

I don't know yet if this problem has been solved elsewhere. Didn't have time to read the entire thread but I was able to get the mod installed and it appears to be working. If this is not been solved I would be more than happy to post my solution

Same problems here. Updated fro.m 2.2.7 to 2.2.24 with the updater, no savegames work, immediate CTD.

Starting a new campaign, which sucks beyond sucking

Years of work down the drain!!! I played realtime aince 2016 and had just arrived in the Mediterranean.

Not happy is an UNDERSTATEMENT

I am reverting back to 2.2.7 until I have finished all campaigns. At least that prevents me from losing my savegames.
