Silent Hunter 5 & Windows 10 - Page 4

Hi 3, 4 and 5 all work on w10 or at least it does on my gear.

THEBERBSTER · 09-11-16, 06:04 PM

Seconded.

All running fine for me on Mac (Win10 via BootCamp) - I think the only thing to look out for it that the updater does not seem to work in the UPlay GUI - it fails silently.

Luckily for me I was following the instructions for installing Wolves Of Steel which include finding and running the gu.exe so I never saw it crash.

One problem for me at the moment is the font size used by the map tools (I've got a 15" screen). I've tried searching the forum to see if there's an easy way to increase this or perhaps made the numbers bold - even better would be to increase the offset from the protractor in particular. Perhaps I'm just getting old and need some bifocals, but it appears ridiculously small and difficult to read to me...

Anyone have a thread to point me to or some other advice?

Cheers and Happy Hunting!!!

Hi I have got sh3,sh4,sh5 running on windows 10 anniversary update ok but after a fresh install the documents folders now go to documents cloud as default even in offline mod and game update to 1.2 is not automatically done.

I can't get it to work

Uplay just crashes on me when I try to log in offline and reinstalling it many times hasn't changed anything. The procedure to follow on the website doesn't work for me as so just wondering if you guys have any suggestions.

Not trying to look stupid but I couldn't try the sh5.exe file trick as I can't find it so any info on that would be great.

This is want it reads when I try to log on offline as I can't log on online:

Uplay has detected an unrecoverable error and must be shutdown. Crash dump created at "C:/Program Files (x86)/Ubisoft/Ubisoft Game Launcher/crashes

Hello again all that I knew, and hello to ones I have yet to meet. It's been 6 years since I have been on here and 6 years since I played SH4. I never knew SH5 was released, or was a concept. I stumbled upon SH5 in the Steam Store, but read the reviews that it was bugged w/lack of any major fixes. I trust SUBSIM to give me an honest answer. How is it, really?

I was also thinking on getting SH4 again via Steam since I no longer have it (lost it somewhere over the years and house move) and I am also running Win10. How is SH4 on 10?

I did a search, but couldn't find any info. Any help would be appreciated.

I recently reinstalled Silent Hunter 5. and an unable to get the game to play.

On the first try of playing the game, after a reboot, the game crashes to the desktop after the intro animation.
After the second-fourth try,I can select the first mission, which then loads, but immediately after the loading screen I receive the following error:

"The internet connection experiences problems and the current game session was saved. Please wait until the internet connection is restored or press OK button to return to the main menu."

My internet connection if fine. I receive the same error when I use Uplay to install the game or if I use the DVD to install the game.
I have tried using Uplay in Offline mode, ran Uplay and the Silent Hunter 5 EXE in compatibility mode with admin privileges.
All will no luck getting the game to run.

My system is running Windows 10.
Silent Hunter 5 ver 1.20
No mods....yet
