Ok I just re installed the whole game. Cleaned all the files in my document and in my D drive before uninstall the game then followed the whole installation procedure but the game still crash. The game still forced me to change to the Battle of Mediterranean campaign when I was at sea around late July 1941. So I tried another save which is before entering Malta. the game crashed after my boat travel some distance not even entered Malta harbor yet.
Vdr1981 What should I do next? Does it meant that all the game save are corrupted already?

Thank you.

OK...Try to start new "Battle of Mediterranean" campaign using "silentotto" cheat and see how it goes. If you like I can tell you how to "hack" your gamesave and increase promotional points for the crew...

Hi Muckenberg. Well, actually I didn't deleted the save game in Ubisoft server. When I reinstall the game, it updated with the save game from the Ubisoft server. However I tried to deleted the save game that downloaded from the server and replaced it with my backup save and tried to approach Malta harbor again. I managed to fired 2 torps then the game crash to desktop again.

Ok I just tried this method but the game still crash. My boat was approaching a patrol area, the time compression was around x256-x512. Then I received a radio message contact report the time compression dropped back to 1. After 5s the game crash to desktop again

Ok I just tried to use the 'slientotto' cheat to start Western approach. When I tried to leave Kiel, I was using the free camera and looking around the sub. The game crash suddenly.

Yes vdr1981, it is very weird. I think that must be something happen between the game and the Win10 update. It crash more offend than before

What should I do next? Don't really want to restore my whole computer.

Should I buy other Uboat games? what about Sh3 and The grey Wolves mode? And what about 'Uboat'? I have watched some youtube video about this new game but I think managing the crew moral is a bit complex to me

IF you have ruled out faulty game/mod installation then it must be something windows related. I can not think of anything else since you'll notice that for others SH5+TWoS works quite stable... Can you confirm once again that you've followed official pdf install instructions to the letter?

Yes, ok at first I deleted the game and deleted all the files in 'My documents' and the entire Sh5 file on my D drive. Then I run the Register cleaner and disk cleaner to clean the game completely. Restart the computer. Download the Sh5 game from Uplay and TWOS v2.2.22 from Subsim. Install the SH5 on my D drive, confirm it is working and is on v.1.2.0. Replaced the Sh5.exe replacement manually. Run the TWOS installer as an administrator. Generic file patcher> all 9 patches are visible, restore snapshot.

This is what I have done. I guess the problem is about Win update
