libcef.dll

[mainexpress]

I went to go fire up SH5 today and i get this message 'the program can't start because libcef.dll is missing from your computer...try reinstalling the program to fix this problem it might of been from the last update of uplay...can someone tell me how to fix this.

A couple of years ago I got a message like this about a file missing. I didn't want to, or have the time to do a re-install. I considered it to be like any other file that was missing on my pc. I run weekly backups on my system so I went to the Windows 'Backup-Restore' screen and using the most current restore, I restored the missing file to its original location. After doing that I started SH5 and ran with no problems. I don't know if that will work for you but it saved my a lot of time and frustration.

I have the UPlay Browser disabled in my game with TDW_GenericPatcher_v_1_0_168_0 as well as the Orbit Listener checks disabled as per the screenshot. I have Orbit Listener disabled in the (sh_nclient) section of the Generic Patcher also. Just add a Desktop shortcut from your C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5\sh5.exe

I am running "The Wolves of Steel" megamod and have had no problems. It's Great!! SH5 loads up without UPlay!!

EDIT: If you absolutely and positively can't possibly see yourself getting through your day without UPlay here is a "known" good copy of libcef.dll off my computer that you can drop in your C:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\Ubisoft Game Launcher\ directory. http://www.mediafire.com/download/rb...262/libcef.zip
