Looks brilliant. Just reinstalled sh5 to try this and for the first time ever, I cannot update to 1.2.0.

The game isn't installed in C drive and cannot be. All the links I've found to the patch are broken or viral. Can anyone help please?

When installing go to "custom" installation and select another location for the game. Reset the PC, and after, install 1.2.

That works for me.

Not sure what you mean there. Reset= restart? If so it doesn't work for me.

I made a custom install on another drive and it doesn't update from gu or anywhere. I get this-

Trying to get update information to C:\Users\US\AppData\Local\Temp\ubiD93A.tmp.
File parsing unsuccessful.
Update service cannot continue.

xxxxx

It can't get update information from C drive as the game isn't there.

Something has your SH5.exe file locked.

Try rebooting the Operating System and run the ~\Silent Hunter 5\Support\GameUpdater\GU.exe again.

Or you can try opening a Command window (CMD) with Administrator access and run the unlock command. i.e. "unlock ~\Silent Hunter 5\SH5.exe"

~ == the rest of the install path for Silent hunter 5

After uninstalling run a free Registry Cleaner like Ccleaner and then re-boot your system before re-installing.

I mean restart. Do you have the Steam version?

Do you have an independent exe file for the update 1.02? I have the update as an independent file, downloaded years ago from Ubi.

Or is it downloaded from Ubi when you try to install it?

Try also with and independent Uplay; download it from Ubi.

Uninstall all, clean all with CCleaner or Wise365, restart your PC, install SH5 1.0, restart, and try to install the update. If it works, restart, and start the game, go to new campaign, start it, when the film starts (you are sleeping), exit to main menu. Exit the game. And start to set TWoS as explained in post 1 and the videos.

Good luck!

Thanks for your suggestions, all. It looks like it was simply the "wrong" drive for the game and maybe Windows 10 and the game directory not being in a Program Files(x86) folder had something to do with it. Whatever, in the end I robbed my D to expand the C drive and installed it there, all updated fine from gu file.

Thanks for the clear, concise, easy to follow mod install instructions, I'm really hopeful I can at last get some use out of SH5 and learn manual targeting without having to worry about corrupted installs and more.

Did something change in the 1.6 version regarding immersive HUD?
I did exactly the same thing with the OptionsFileEditorViewer as I did in version 1.5 of the mod.
But the HUD never goes away anymore. Just wanted to mention this incase there is a somethings wrong.

Edit: As a side note, I used THEBERBSTER`s guide on how to do it.

Have a nice one.

No mate, nothing special really...:hmmm:
Try to edit one tab at the time and then save and restart the OFEV...It has to work...:yep:

vdr1981 11-17-16 09:36 AM

OK, Update 02 is up bringing some important and very cool changes, so make sure to grab it...:yep:

Hey Shaefer, when using the OFEV in TWoS, it defaults to modifying the TheDarkWraithUserOptions.py within the main TWoS mod that is in the MODS folder. Check out this post: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...postcount=6287

Many thanks Vecho for the new update! Downloading now.

Not needed a new campaign start, yes? I´m now near Malta hunting some Tommies.

Best regards.

I use the secure way (for me), for changes via OFEV: I do the changes, save the py file, then disengage all the mods with JSGME, and reenable the same mods in the same order.

Regards.
