Being a total Luddite when it comes to computers, I was very pleased with myself as I finally managed to install this mod on a freshly bought Steam version of SH5........BUT...........The Steam purchase came with a product/game code, which I wrote down carefully.....

Now, I seem to have the mod installed correctly but it's asking for my access code. When I enter the one I got with the original download (and it's correct, I didn't make a mistake in writing it down or entering it) I just get an error message, telling me the code is wrong....So close to getting up and running. Can anyone help/advise, please.?

I get a error messagr when I get to the Steam Updater

"There is an issue with the Sh5 REGKEY"

Is this normal?

Hi Anita1986,
No, it is not normal. Do you use administrator user account on your PC? If not, log in as an administrator and try to reinstall the game again.

Thanks for your reply. I found out what it was, I needed to actually start the newly installed game before I patched the game :)

But okay, I have installed everything according to the manual but I can't seem to start the game. I open the game from my Silent Hunter 5 shortcut and Silent Hunter 5 starts to load but then Uplay opens and I get to a Silent Hunter 5 screen where the only button I can press is "Update" When I press Silent Hunter 5 starts to load again but seconds later, the load picture disappears and nothing happens.

And if I try to start the game from the KSD Commander screen, the game is just loading and loading without getting anywhere. If I close the Silent Hunter 5 loading window, I just get returned here.

What am I doing wrong?

Welcome back!
 

Haha, thanks! I suddenly decided to download Silent Hunter 5 again and I remembered that there were some very good mods for it on subsim so I decided to see if there had been any updates.

Sadly, the game doesn't want to start for me, even without the mod installed. I don't know what I'm doing wrong so I uninstalled it again. Hopefully, it will work in 8 years again lol.

Uplay Download Version Fix For SH5 And TWoS > Pictorial

It seems that many perfectly functional mods no longer work with 2.2 (I just downloaded and installed it)


Have re-enabled those mods AFTER copying them to the TWoS_Parts folder and performing the upgrade, but they are taking no effect at all, even in a new campaign.


I know they're probably not the mods most are interested in, but I'm after a bit of fun, not uber-reality


Mods used: Critical Hits 1.1 torpedoes, 88mm Railgun


Any (non-judgemental and helpful) thoughts?


Thanks

welcome back!
 

Issues.
 

I installed WoS mod.
I followed the instructions.
I run SH5.exe as admin
I get this USER CHARTS box.
I can move it around but its blank, its annoying and its empty.
Im fairly sure it shouldnt be like that.


Im pretty sure its a problem with the NewUIs_TDC_7_4_2_TheDarkWraith mod as I have a seperate SH5 install with just that mod and it does the same thing
I get the same issue with NewUIs_TDC_7_5_0_TheDarkWraith too.


My PC is more than capable of running this.
Direct X is up to date.

Hi Northius,

Really quite strange. Do you have any other mods installed over TWoS?
I noticed that most of the other standalone mods are not compatible with TWoS 2.2, causing problems with gameplay (and even with in-game sound)...

Disc version
 

Hi all,
Im a returning player from the SH3 days :) I have an old disc version ( Focus Multimedia UK ) of SH5, Does this mod and other mods work ok with this or will I need a steam version ? Thanks
