Hi macjim

Wow, you’ve got a lot going on there.

Where to start?

Quote >I downloaded the installer from Gamersgate
Download Silent Hunter ® 5- Battle of the Atlantic Gold Edition.exe

So you have a download edition, ok.

Quote > Somehow Ubisoft got involved and tried to patch the game.

This would be correct.

I cannot remember all of the installation process and I am assuming the download and the dvd work pretty much the same.

You have the first part of the installation which is the game.

The second part of the installation is the Ubisoft Game Launcher.

This brings up the Uplay screen so you can set up an account.

Your SH5 key, Login name, and password, are all locked together.

If you buy a new version at any time then you cannot use the same details again.

After you login to Uplay then an updating of the Game Launcher is done.

The Ubisoft Game Launcher verifies that you have a verified game copy each time you log in.

When this has finished.

You then need to

Go to the ‘Ubisoft Folder.’

Go to the ‘Silent Hunter 5 Folder.’

Go to the ‘Support Folder.’

Go to the ‘GameUpdater Folder’

Double click to run the ‘Gu’ ‘Application.’

This will update your installation to the current v1.2

This will show in the top right corner of your screen when you load the game.

After this you have an updated stock game.

If you are going to remove your SH5 you need to uninstall it correctly.

And then use a Registry cleaner.

See my tutorial post #70

For TDW’s Generic File Patcher (GFP) you need to follow my tutorial Post #2 and all is explained within.

Did you actually install it correctly.

If you did then you would have seen the 9 patchers at the end of the installation.

It sounds like you would be better to delete the current (GFP) patcher and start again.

Tutorial #3 is for those with existing patches enable in an existing GFP to take a snapshot of the settings so they can be downloaded in to a later patcher version.

I would also say I would not carry on with your current installation if you have compromised it.

You probably have missing or corrupted files if you have stopped the process.

It certainly is not worth trying to repair it.

If you are able to get the dvd version it is really cheap from Amazon and you will not have the problem with installation corruptions like downloading can do.

My tutorials have everything there to get new players up and running successfully.

I will leave it here for now, and let you think over what you wish to do.

If you have any further questions just let me know.

Peter

Thanks Peter,

quick response.

I did get the TWD generic file patcher working. After I had reinstalled the game and allowed Ubisoft to update it to v1.2 Was able to see 9 files. But I was not sure which ones to change from false to true.

I changed the first file and then the game would launch but if I tried to start a mission, campaign, or load a game it would crash to desktop.

So I have uninstalled the game again.

Perhaps I should look for a CD of the game. Unfortunately Amazon will not ship by post. Mail is the only reliable delivery option here.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update:
I think I may have it working but do not know what I should be changing.
I have reinstalled and the game works.
I have updated and it is v1.2
I have a Ubisoft (Uplay) account

I am on step Returning To The Patcher
part 5.
One of the prompts is for file SH5.exe prompts to save to C:\Users\MAc\Desktop? should I click on Yes? Or should I change it to the directory that all of the other files are save to D:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5 ?

And what files "Change Numbers" should I click on that are "Enabled False"? All of them?

Thanks for the hints. Have fully deinstalled and ran the CC cleaner. Now waiting for the new DVD. The game I played so far was very good but looking forward to play th completed patch version and the mods.

drronnie · 10-01-15, 08:56 AM

Today I got my DVD from the UK. Installed and tried to patch up to 1.2 and guess what "activation key" already in use. Really made my day not

THEBERBSTER · 10-01-15, 02:23 PM

Hi drronnie

The activation key cannot be the same as any previous dvd as it is unique to that disk.
The fact that you bought it from Ebay is a bit worrying as unless it is a sealed package you might have ended up with a second hand dvd.
Did the seller state that it was new and unused?
1. The dvd must be new not second hand.
2. You need a new Uplay login.
3. Set up a new Uplay account.
4. Use a new email address.
5. Use a new password.
6. Activate the dvd.

Peter

drronnie · 10-02-15, 04:14 AM

OK to be on the safe side I bought a brand new activation key only. Let's see if that works

The DVD I got was sealed but I seem to have over read the small part where it said it's a refund item. So shame on me. The seller claims it was returned on the same day

The new key worked. Now I am patched to 1.2

BladeVsNeo · 07-03-16, 01:50 AM

How can I download when there are download limits? How many files a day can we download?

THEBERBSTER · 07-03-16, 05:07 AM

Hi Blade
Making a number of posts will help.
Subsim is free to the end user but there are substantial costs in running Subsim, that is why donations are important as it keeps Subsim running for all of us.

Hi B
Cannot answer your question I am afraid.
The game launcher application contains many folders and files.
I have no idea where it would be buried.
It is most likely to be a setting > true or false.
