The uplay launcher updated itself today.

Anyone else experiencing this?

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

Hi Peter,

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

Hi Bera

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

Code:

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.

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.

Uplay has updated again.

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

Necessary?
 
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.

This should shed some light on your dilemma...:yep:

To be more precise, Mama's solution with TWoS, Sobers modlist, and Sjizzle's Magui based megamod will be necessary only when you're expecting campaign transfer, on campaign ending. Before that date, you can load your gamesaves with or without setting OSI.exe priority, there will be no significant impact on campaign progress. And that is all...

EDIT:
Anyone else who plays stock SH5 (forgive them God for their ignorance :haha:) or with Open Horizons v2.5 only ( and without No Stupid Tonnage Bar/Free style campaign addon) will have to use Mama's solution every time the game is started (annoying, but nothing we can do about it).
However, these players will still experience a whole range of different issues with their objective activation and campaign progress as a consequence of certain game limitations.

I read this too, maybe I should be more precise :) What is meant by campaign transfer? Stopping the current campaign and starting a fresh new one? If so, it would mean that as long as I continue the same campaign no 'mission complete' problems would occur? :o

Unlike previous SH games, SH5 campaign is composed of several campaigns ( Coastal Waters, Happy Times, Western Approaches ect ect) and in order to pass from one to the next one, you will have to reach certain date and then campaign transfer message should pop-up.

In game it will look like this...

Hi Peter,

Iīll try re-installing SH5 again! :/\\!! Tried re-installing just the Ubi launcher, but no luck.

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

Tks,

This clears things up for me. So, when I reach the end of a campaign, I'll have to carry out the steps as instructed.
Thanks Vecko! :up:

Exactly...:up:
Or, if from some reason Mama's solution wont work (reported by few win 10 users) , you can also use this workaround...http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=222403

Yeah, the tonnage bar in SH5 is pretty messed up. I would suggest using mods (can't name any now, I'll poke around and see what I find)

THEBERBSTER 11-27-15 03:01 PM

Hi Elma
Code:

sometimes i sunk a ship it stands in the log but date is 0000000 then  it doesnt Count sometimes its Count and then stands a date there like  2039-466-89.
The 0000.00.00 or any other corrupted figures like your 2039.466.89 is a different fault and not to do, or connected with the tonnage bar problem.
