The SH5 Fix We Have All Been Waiting For Has Arrived

Bera · 11-23-15, 03:15 PM

Hi folks,

The uplay launcher updated itself today.

However, after trying to launch the game many times, including after restarting my computer, I can´t find the osi.exe running anymore!

Anyone else experiencing this?

Edit: After some more tests, I can confirm that after the update the Ubisoft launcher doesn´t start osi.exe anymore, at least in my machine. Would it have any impact in the "tonnage bar bug"?

An official fix or not?

Hi Peter,

I don´t know, but... When I launch the game just clicking on SH5.EXE, the uplay launcher doesn´t start. And after the initial loading screen I don´t get the "syncronizing saved games with server" box anymore...

Hi Bera

I can confirm that the Osi.exe has updated from 4308k to 4320k.

Code:

I don´t know, but... When I launch the game just clicking on SH5.EXE,  the uplay launcher doesn´t start. And after the initial loading screen I  don´t get the "syncronizing saved games with server" box anymore... :hmmm:

Not a problem for me Windows 7 everything worked as normal still using Online.
I saw the UPlay up date message and then as usual its looks to synchronize and then TWOS starts to load.
I checked to see if administrator was still enabled and it was.
Picture after update showing 4320k.

Uplay has updated again.

The Osi.exe has changed from 4320k to 4340k.

I'm just a noob player so perhaps this question is dumb.. but do I have to use this fix? I'm playing with Sober's megamod. Now patrolling the English east coast in 1939 (second mission). First mission was marked completed.

Hi Bera !

Unfortunately if the OSI isn't running the game does not compute any update of campaign or tonnage sunk.

It's quite strange that you have problems with OSI, i also updated the UPlay browser and none has changed, everything is working as before.

I can give you two advices : first locate and delete the OSI folder inside the UPlay directory (usually it is located at C:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\Ubisoft Game Launcher\data\3) and then delete the folder called "3". After that you need to start UPlay in online mode and launch the game from the UPlay browser. The game should automatically download again a new OSI application which should start along with the game. Check if it works correctly (you are free to play offline as usual however).

Second choice is to uninstall UPlay and re-install it from scratch. The application should download a new OSI as soon as the game will be launched from the browser.

Try one of those and let us know if all is working well.

IIRC if the original Game Launcher is uninstalled this new one afaik allows you to install it anywhere.

Hi Peter,

I´ll try re-installing SH5 again!

Tried re-installing just the Ubi launcher, but no luck.

To tell the truth, I´m getting a little tired of all the CTDs, bugs, and having to re-install SH5 over and over. I´ve moved back to SH4 for a while, installed TMO and I´m very happy. Six patrols so far and NOT ONE CTD!

Tks,
