Come back to play a bit later and foolishly thought "Oh I'll install TDW's patcher seen as its working with Steam anyway". Obviously a mistake. Once I patched it with this I got a CTD at 19:00 hrs on Sept 1 1939. I figured my mistake was using the patcher with the steam game. So I look around, find this thread and your instructions here. I did what you asked to the letter and got the game fired up - launched from the new copy in my directory (right click launch as administrator). Steam doesn't load up so I know I'm doing it right. I click "continue campaign". It doesn't load. Get a CTD as soon as the loading screen finishes and the black screen comes on just before you get loaded into the game. I will try single missions and report back. Failing that, will re-install TWOS again from scratch. Edit; Ok - so tried a single mission. That too crashed as soon as it loaded. I will uninstall my TWOS mods and load the stock patched 1.2 game now. Further Edit; Uninstalled all mods. Still crashed. Now I think it may be that the sh5.exe I patched originally was the Steam version - I'll do the patcher process again but this time use the directory as the desktop where I've got the sh5.patched.exe saved (after downloading it from the cabinet file viewer). Further edit still; So uninstalled all mods - patched. CTD on loading a saved game or starting a new one. Installed mod then patched game. Same result. Seems like I've broken my game now.... Full uninstall and re-install is on the cards. Edit (again). Ok so I'm re-installing from Steam. This will take a while so I'm going to go to sleep as it's nearly 2am here. I will then copy out the sh5.exe file from the cabinet viewer, copy it, rename it and add it to the steam sh5 folder whilst renaming the sh5.exe file there? So far so good right? I then patch the game using the generic patcher - the root file is program files (x86)\steam\steamapps\common\silenthunter 5 right? Not the usual one "ubisoft data" if you don't have steam version. After patching - I then install TWOS? I then play. Hopefully it works.... Last edited by tat501; 06-30-16 at 07:54 PM. |

No I'm still having a CTD at 19:00 hrs game time. Something must be scripted at that point in the game that causes it to crash. Either with the patcher or the mod.
Disabled all the patches and it still happens so I think its TWOS causing it.... Last edited by tat501; 07-01-16 at 08:31 AM. |

Hi tat
One important thing to remember is not to make a game save closer than 60km to any destroyed marks or near any port. Peter

Thanks guys. With your help I have managed to get it pretty stable now. I have at least a three save game rotation going so I have a back up pretty close at hand. I know the game does some funny stuff if you're not in good deep ocean water but at the beginning of the campaign in Danzig bay its a bit difficult!
It seemed to be my radio mods causing the problem. I must have messed up the .ini file. I'd like to have a go and get it going again but I'm actually just enjoying playing for a change. Only ctd I had so far was on a torpedo impact (was a beautiful shot as well - with my electric torpedo!) - so I lowered particle density etc and it hasn't happened again since. |

Kindest thanks to you, for recommending a VM running XP, to run the extraction successfully! You, Sir, are a gentleman and a scholar.

I actually tried this yesterday. In fact, I tried multiple ways to get the patcher to work (for about 8-1/2 hours) before I became incredibly frustrated and finally gave up. I can't run the viewer program because apparently I do not have an mscomctl.ocx file on my computer. I do not plan on altering my system so I can play a game, but that's just me. If it helps I am running Windows 10 64-bit platform. |

Hi GD
Code:
I do not have an mscomctl.ocx file on my computer. Having said that, it is included in my Windows 7 to 10 upgrade. It can be downloaded so as to run older applications and there are plenty of instructions including YouTube to show you how to do it. Peter

Ok. Thanks to all here and quite a bit of tinkering ( I feel like a full-fledged computer programmer lol) I FINALLY got this thing running!!!
But I have 2 problems now: 1-Anti virus keeps kicking out the patched SH5.exe, labeling it as a Trojan. 2-Fired up game, started new career, and after loading screen the game crashes. Any known fixes for either? |

Others will have a popup warning saying if you want to block this program from running or allow it. I found the exceptipn section under advanced settings. I use AVG 64-bit free edition and works for both.
