Silent Hunter 5 & Windows 10

r0bang · 03-14-22, 01:59 PM

Hi
I wanted to continue my SH5 TWoS campaign wich I havent played for years. I tried it and it worked but when I quite and saved the game ubisoft said it couldnt syncronize the save. After that I´m unable to play SH5. The game loads up to start screen, I load a game and it crashes to desktop upon finished loading (where the game should start). Problem concerns all my saves. Uplay couldn syncronize the saves...

I tried installing the ubisoft client again but it didnt make any difference. I played anno 1800 and that works just fine with the saves. Anyone knows whats wrong?

This depends upon how long "I havent played for years" is in your book, but Ubisoft "updated "UPlay" to now be "UConnect". Your install most likely updated itself to the latest-greatest, and in doing so, trashed your SH5 install. Refer to THEBERBSTER's posting for

Uplay Download Version Fix For SH5 And TWoS

for information on that. You might end up having to re-install SH5 and TWoS, since you were trashed... Others who play the game more often that me should be able to guide you better, or differently, if your situation isn't as above...

helpful as well, after you get the game updated and set-up properly...

Thanks I will look into that

. My latest save was from march 2018, so four years have passed since the last time I played the game.

Update:
I ended up installing SH5 from scratch and downloaded and istalled the newest version of TWoS and now it is working again, running ubisoft in offline mode

Sadly my old campaign was lost but never mind, I got this great game up and running again.

Saludos comandantes... hace mucho que no juego al SH5, en parte por los muchos problemas que tengo al usar ordenadores más modernos o sistemas operativos, ni Windows 10 ni windows 11... he leído varias soluciones, que cuando tenga tiempo, intentaré probar a ver si funcionan...

Es una lástima que UBISOFT dejara tirada esta gran saga... sería de agradecer que alguno de los genios que crean los Mods para este simulador, pudieran mejorar muchos aspectos que se han quedado obsoletos con el paso del tiempo, me refiero a mejorar por ejemplo, los gráficos y diálogos, poder hacer una remasterización de los gráficos del submarino, las explosiones, burbujas, interiores del uboot, la propia tripulación, que parecen robots en vez de personas... y aparte, si se abriera un hilo para comentar qué mejoras le harías al simulador, seguramente muchísimos comandantes participarían con sus ideas... otra cosa es que a nivel de programación fueran posible realizar las mejoras e ideas que se propongan... aparte también, supongo que también estará el problema de los derechos de UBISOFT, que intuyo no permitiría que se manipule su juego.
En fin, una lástima que esta grandísima saga la hayan abandonado...
Siento no escribir en inglés, también sería de agradecer que tuvierais SUBSIM con la opción en idioma español.

Muchas gracias y buena caza.

The problem is that about a month ago, when I load a saved game, the screen stays locked, and I have to go to the Windows desktop and restart the PC. If I start a new campaign, I play without problems, but as soon as I save the game and I want to restart it after a while or later or whenever, the image freezes and it does nothing, not even the mouse, I have to exit to Windows and restart the pc, as always, there is no way to continue any saved game... I have a Windows 10 pro, and the game is an original disc. When I have done a clean install, it installs without problems and all the requirements are green. I have tried some solution that I have seen to create a folder and rename the one to install the 1.2 update, and I have followed all the steps, but the problem continues... Any ideas? any solution? Thank you. I don't know whether to install Open Horizons or Wolves of Steel to see if the problem goes away or if it stays the same. I need your help.

Sorry for not saying hello first.
Before exposing my problems, education comes first, and the first thing is to say hello.
So, just to tell you that you do a great job, and that you are great, keep up the good work!!!!
