Silent Hunter 5 & Windows 10 - Page 4

kaptkirkU4467 · 09-01-17, 10:33 AM

Just downloaded it today.
win 10
massive system with a 6 GB vid card

biggest problem..didnt know you had to download UPLAY, make a UPLAY account then it works.

I have managed to play all of them on Windows 10 but not very successfully on a laptop. None will take a very high resolution as they are very old games by today's standards and uPlay is next to useless as far as SH-5 is concerned

Newbie to SH5 here. I installed SH5 from DVD. Seemed to install okay, except that it said my GPU wasn't the correct version in the compatibility window. I suspect that is just because it didn't recognize it. Anyway, I tried running SH5.exe, and I get a window that says it's checking for updates. Then another window pops up that says "A SERVICE IS UNAVAILABLE. A Ubisoft service is unavailable at the moment. Please try again later." There is a link to Ubisoft support that accesses Ubisoft, but nothing helpful for this problem. Clicking the OK button in the window results in the program crashing to the desktop. I have downloaded TWOS and tried following the instructions for that to see if I could get it running with TWOS. I set SH5.exe to Windows 7 compatibility and to run as administrator. Same result. I was able to update to version 1.2 using gu.exe, however. SH5 still won't run. I suspect that checking for updates is the problem, but I can find no way to bypass that step. In TWOS instructions, it references turning off web and update access, but it appears that the software needs to successfully start to do so. So, any ideas on how to get this thing running so I can install TWOS? Thanks for your help!

In what I thought was an unrelated thread, I found the answer. I downloaded a new version of Ubisoft Game Launcher Installer, uninstalled the version that came with the DVD, and installed the new version. After that (and a few error messages along the way), SH5 now runs fine. I was able to install TWOS, which happened exactly as described in the TWOS installation guide.

Now to start a campaign!

Hi
I wanted to continue my SH5 TWoS campaign wich I havent played for years. I tried it and it worked but when I quite and saved the game ubisoft said it couldnt syncronize the save. After that I´m unable to play SH5. The game loads up to start screen, I load a game and it crashes to desktop upon finished loading (where the game should start). Problem concerns all my saves. Uplay couldn syncronize the saves...

I tried installing the ubisoft client again but it didnt make any difference. I played anno 1800 and that works just fine with the saves. Anyone knows whats wrong?

propbeanie · 03-14-22, 06:54 PM

This depends upon how long "I havent played for years" is in your book, but Ubisoft "updated "UPlay" to now be "UConnect". Your install most likely updated itself to the latest-greatest, and in doing so, trashed your SH5 install. Refer to THEBERBSTER's posting for

Uplay Download Version Fix For SH5 And TWoS

for information on that. You might end up having to re-install SH5 and TWoS, since you were trashed... Others who play the game more often that me should be able to guide you better, or differently, if your situation isn't as above...

You might also find THEBERBSTER's posting for

Play Silent Hunter 5 Offline

helpful as well, after you get the game updated and set-up properly...
