first hello all fellow subsim fans :)

if you want to run silent hunter 4 and 5 with windows 10 you have to right click on the .exe file sh4/5.exe and go to compatibility then you have a new point in windows 10 its called something like high dpi upscaling, check this box, the game should now start. I had the same problem, the game didnt pop up, it was only viewable in the taskmanager.

How can you welcome the same person in consecutive persons in a six minute time period on separate threads :hmm2:

Thank you Harmsway! for your answer of 08-24-2015 to download the UbisoftGameLauncher. I have not run SH5 for some years, and have changed PC also, so I had to install the game again. But it did not start until I found your advice!

No problems playing SH3-4-5 after running Windows 10 from Windows 7 upgrade.

Returned from the Deep
 

G'dayHunters.
I have just managed to get SH5 up and running on Win 10 after an absence of 5 years. SH5 looks great on my 34in widescreen monitor.
Now to start with modding. Just downloaded the JSGME mod installer.
Where do you recommend I go from here?

I also have original boxed versions of SH3&4, i may have to try and get them running under Win 10 also.

Welcome back
 

Hi, I have been in campaign and multiplayer using w10. Also when mplaying friends have been using w7 and I w10, haven't come across any problems.
popflynn

run the game and go for it. Txs to exxis
 

Use this advice and also start the game in administrator mode. Clean install of Windows 10 and clean install of silent hunter 4 and 5. SH5 crashed. :/\\!! But the advise of exxis AND adminstrator mode: It works great. :up:

Thanks exxis:salute:

it is ok for me , it is perfectly running
 

I have been playing SH5 for more than two years now , and it is working just fine on Windows 10, without any problems

So I recently purchased SH5, loved SH3 and enjoyed SH4 but wandered away for a few years and recently watched Das Boot and got inspired again :)

So the game is acting strange, and i don't know why this is happening.

So if I start UPLAY with online enabled, and then launch SH5 it won't start. I get "Unabled to download Uplay files" which i don't understand? Is SH5 trying to update itself, is it trying to synchronise with some server at ubisoft for saved games or DRM? So i disabled the online synchronization option in Uplay settings, but still no luck..

If I start UPLAY with online disabled, and then launch SH5 it does start. BUT I can only play the historical missions and look in the museum, the campaign will not start. I get the error "Internet Connection not enabled" - which it is not...

So I have uninstalled SH5 and reinstalled it, I have uninstalled Uplay and reinstalled it. I have verified the game files through Uplay, I have launched both as admins, I have check the win 10 compatibility and all looks good..

Anybody have any idea what the error "Unabled to download Uplay files" means and how can I fix it?

Thanks
