Yes, I was assuming his location is not write-protected...
I don't know if with U-Play someone has the choice of installing in a non-write-protected location, if yes, OP, then install the game in e.g. C:\Games\SH5, this would be a folder where you have free access at any time (although I don't know about Win10...).

Go in your main game dir, delete all xxxx_draggables.TDW files and restart. If your sh5.exe does run in Admin Rights and your game folder is not write-protected, then this is the only reason for a grafic glitch AFAIK. I assume you did install and update the game correctly, also the TWoS mod. Then maybe you also need to set your antivirus not to block your game files.

Guys, everyone posting such kind of problems should google about what is a 'protected folder' in Windows and why you should install 'older' games in a non-protected folder. A little more than just basic computer knowledge is necessary to run SH5 and its mods. Besides, most if not all problem solvings are treated in the sticky posts or the sticky tutorials.

Hi everyone!

I have just encountered this problem however BUT not in the same way as the original poster and I am trying to figure out why/how it happened so I don't have to go through a fresh install every time this happens (hopefully I can stop it from happening).

How this happened.

1. I installed SH5. Played several times over a few days.

2. Installed TWOS. (Followed the instructions) (Full install not upgrade).
3. I have played the game many times (new campaign start).
4. Last night I loaded the game to play a little before bed and I had this exact issue happen. Two menu options show up when game is at the main menu and you cannot shut them down.

Any ideas on how this could happen?
Game is NOT installed on C: drive and was run with administrative rights!

Thanks for any help.
