Hey folks! Need some help here. Recently finished recording Episode 26. Now, every time I try to load my game, at the very end of the load, the game crashes to desktop without fail. I've already attempted to reboot the computer and it was a no go.

X58A-UDR3 V2.0
Samsung Spinpoint 1TB HDD
2X Sapphire Radeon 5850's
Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit OEM

what changed between recordings? Can you load any other previous saved games?

[VWFKamikaze]

Absolutely nothing changed between Episode 26 and the attempt to record Episode 27. Just no go on that particular save file, CTD every time now. Other save files do load.

Edit: Just got a tip from another Let's Player. Apparently the Silent Hunter series doesn't like it when you save when submerged. Is that true?

Yes it is. Don't ever save submerged or when near another ship. This has been a bug since SH3

[VWFKamikaze]

.... Damn it.

Is there any way to recover the file?

Did you have 'Save sinc enabled?' It's enabled by default. If so maybe Ubi have a save file on their server. Move your save file to another location and see if the save ubi has is downloaded at game launch.

Location of save file is...

c:\Users\Username\My Documents\SH5\data\Users

I follow these 3 simple rules with saves for silent hunter games...

Never save while submerged.
Never save within 50Km of other ships. (damaged ships loose all damage and can loose their waypoints, as damage and waypoints are not saved).
Never save within 50Km of a port. (ships can loose their waypoints and crash).

[VWFKamikaze]

I did not have it enabled.

Damn...

Weird, I saved the game million of times when I was 200m deep and escorts lurking over me, never had any issue loading the game except the already damaged ships that gets healed and running at full steam again.

I have a very strange problem, I have just bought the game and I installed it but when I look in the Ubisoft directory there is no Silent Hunter 5 game folder even through I installed it there...I even reinstalled to make sure.

Yet the game plays fine but I can only launch the game from the auto-run when you put the disk in so it is obviously somewhere on the comp. So I can't even create a desktop shortcut, I even searched it but nothing shows up. I have windows vista 64bit.

Thanks in advance.

The game can also be launched from the start menu. You wont need the disk this way.

Click Start
click All Programs
Click Games
Click Silent Hunter 5


Did you use the default install or the custom install option, when you installed?
I beleive that the default location for install is c:\Program Files (x86)\

Hello guys!
I have last issue to resolve and my game will run butter-smooth (I hope).
I am running;
Pentium(R) Dual-Core CPU E5200@2.50Ghz 4 GB RAM 64-bit OS.
Video card is GTX550 Ti.

Now about the issue. It looks like some kind of memory during play got filled up after 8-10 or so saves and during next save (auto save or initiated by me) "Saving game" screen freezes, sound goes to loop and the only way to get out of it is Ctr + Alt +Del and task manager.
If I restart computer - I have 8-10 or maybe 12 saves to run game smooth until it would happened again. One patrol usually takes about 6-8 saves, so I just shut down computer and it is ready for another session no problem after being turned on the next day. But if I don't restart - it will crash on every save after certain amount of "smooth" saves.
Is this cash memory issue? If yes - how to empty it with out restarting PC?
And how does it happens on such a capable system?
Thank you.

And i pressed the game updater, the updater starts, and tells me that a update have been found and askes me if i want to install it, I press yes and the setup starts, now I get a error message saying that "The setup has detected that no version of the game is installed. This update requiers that a previous version of the application be installed"

What version of the game do you have?? Why the need to force an update?? Is it not automatic update???

I do not have the Steam version of SH5.... But I do have other games that use Steam. And they update automatic. I have never had to force an update.

The none Steam version of the game updates automatic upon launch. So I see no reason to force update here either.
