You could have just run the Game Updater.

Into the wolves
Howdy all,
I managed to use the Steam version of this game that has been sitting in my library for some time, and get this mega mod working with Windows 10. The posted Steam work around works fine, fairly simple IMO. The "trick" for me was I had to get SH5 registered to UPlay using the Steam .exe before swapping in the extracted .exe. The rest of the install for the mod went pretty smoothly, thanks for the detailed instructions, tips and FAQs! I've also enjoyed the YouTube and in game tutorials to help get me up to speed! [At this point I saved the game and learned via experience what I later read in the FAQ, don't save near active ships. This save would not reload, so I went back to an earlier save and noticed this time the Danzig Air Raid didn't happen, so some stuff appears to be random.] My main question at this point is the flow / structure of the game. I noticed that there is an overall campaign, chapters, patrols, missions, and secondary objectives. When I read the notice in the FAQ about watching the campaign times, and making sure I was "on patrol", I thought that applied to objective timeline, in this case I think it was Sep 5 39. So I stayed in the area, without ammo for a couple of days just to make sure I'm out at that time. But it seems that isn't needed for mission ends, only the end of a chapter? I also noticed there are some messages in the "Captains Log", that I don't recall seeing in the Radio Log. One was something along the lines of "Objectives complete, return or patrol further". I'd guess I could have went to Kiel at that point? I also noticed that some radio messages have "red" or "blue" backgrounds. It seems to be the "important direct orders / requests". Is there a specific meaning to the colors? Minor note, I noticed that in some places, I'm listed as U-28, and others as U-35? Also, the ships log seems to have a feature to save and load journals; is there a guide on how that should be used? The Enigma machine was interesting and educational, I knew some of the details, but this was definitely more in-depth. I probably spent over an hour decoding the first message as I learned how to operate the machine. It was really funny decoding the 2nd one, and having the radio man give me a new message that gave me the same info. He stayed clear of me the next couple of hours... It has been a fun first few days with the mods, thanks! -Ed |

Download the update 1.02 from the Ubi page. Don´t use Uplay for update the game.
Also download the last Uplay from Ubi, directly, and install it. Don´t wait to automatics updates from Uplay. Regards. Fitzcarraldo

Departed Kiel and used river to Brunsbüttel, but got CTD when approaching the first city, Rendsburg, near the island.
I have a "safe-ish" loadable save on the river a few KM past the gate into the river, but got a CTD again at the same location. In both cases, my max TC was 16x. EDIT: Used an older save just outside the Kiel Pen, and made it though the river past Brunsbüttel. I'd guess the other save wasn't safe after all... -Ed Last edited by edpovi; 12-09-16 at 03:38 AM. |

More than 40 hours played, not a single CTD. WoS 1.06 is really awesome, a big step forward.
However, the stuck destroyers bug happened sometimes, several of them on the same patrol. I saved and reload, but the problem insisted on appearing some minutes later. Is there any other solution or suggestion to avoid this problem? A lot of thanks! |

Quick save/reload always worked for me when dealing with sticky destroyers. ..

Hi Vecko
I am in Norweigian waters and had an Enigama message to send a weather report. Neither the WO or radio operator has this particular command other than sending a Status report. Peter

I'm new, so I'm not 100% sure, but I followed the basic instructions for installing 1.06 and the update. The only thing different, is I have the Steam version, so I extracted the SH5.exe from the patch listed in the work around. I didn't add any other mods. Heck, I'm still trying to learn the basic game and the mods already included in the WoS. My departure date was 29 Sep. I made a save just as I exited the Pen, then I navigated a bit past the locks into the river, and made another save when there were no ships in visual range. But then got the CTD when the first city was in visual range. I reloaded the save just past the docks, and again got the CTD. After posting, I loaded the save just outside of the PEN, and it worked OK, made it past the river. It was interesting making that trip, as it was dusk as I reached the first city and navigated the rest of the river in darkness, but at least the moon was out. |
