Sorry to be a a pain but i cant get TWOS to run, when i load uplay and click play the cursor just starts to spin and nothing happens.

here are the steps ive taken. i have the uplay version by the way.

Here is my Dvd SH5.exe which works with the Uplay download version.
Download
http://www.mediafire.com/file/s65f2i...5.exe.zip/file

Instructions.
fresh install, updated to 1.2 on uplay.
run game once
Cut and paste the default SH5.exe to a convenient place.
Download the zip file into your SH5 game folder.
Unzip the file and use the Extract Tab.
Cut and paste the zip file to a convenient place, this is now your backup.
Check that the new SH5.exe is set to run as an administrator.
run full TWOS installer
enable patches then take snapshot
run 2.2_Update_v2.2.11
2.2_Update_v2.2.17

i should add ive also followed the install instructions to the letter and also configured uplay to be offline etc

i also tried to run with the default exe but it wont patch. ive spent hours tryin to get it working and am gettin a bit fed up now.

is the steam version any easier to get goin?

Hi Laffertytig
The install download Uplay SH5.exe should work ok with the stock game but it will ctd if the game is modded.
Start the game with this exe and exit the game from the main menu.
Set Uplay in Offline mode and use the DVD SH5.exe from my tutorial.
Test it with no mods it should load to the games main menu.
Peter

Exactly... full means "full", no updates are required...

Anyone know if the Amazon.com digital download version (SH5 Gold) is considered "DVD" or "U-Play" download?

I uninstalled Uplay, installed the current version of Uplay (uplay.ubisoft.com) and ran it and turned off automatic updates and auto-online. I then manually ran the game updater from \Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5\Support\GameUpdater\gu.exe and it updated to the latest version.


I then, on a whim, installed TWoS v2.2.17 and ran TDW's Generic File Patcher without using the Uplay workaround. Then I ran the game and it works with no CTDs and no inability to start a new campaign.

Hi 3c
The downloads you buy all use the same Uplay game launcher where the problem is.
Downloads, STEAM, and the DVD all use a different SH5 executive.
STEAM is not affected as it has its own platform.
By changing the default Uplay game launcher and changing the Uplay settings you were able to get around the problem.
