TWOS will not load with new Ubi update

AP514 · 07-26-21, 09:54 AM

I just tried to launch SH5-TWOS. I got an update from Ubisoft. Now after the update I get all the way into loading saved game and CTD.

Any Ideas ?

Well, Steam version works fine (despite being launched through Ubisoft Connect too). What version of the game do you have?

I ave the latest version and the latest TWoS..Dam update screwed me...guess i will redownload and start again. I hope I can import my Save Games.

Still not sure how the update happened because I had it turned off

Yep, I tried playing SH5 last night, hit with an ubi update out of nowhere, ok whatever, I let it update.... welp, no more SH5 for me!

Let me know if you get it fixed,AP514, I'm not even going to bother trying to figure it out right now

Bump, anyone else have this problem? SH5 (non steam) is completely unplayable with TWoS after last months UBI update

Are you putting Ubisoft Connect into offline mode before loading TWoS?

I've been playing for a couple of weeks now without a problem, and Ubi Connect just updated right before playing it tonight. But I was offline, and the game started fine.

Sorry I can't offer any solutions. Hope you get it running again soon!

Let me try and be more specific, I can start SH5 stock, and I can start SH5 with TWoS installed, ubi is in offline mode, and the game does start, my install is from the physical DVD. I can get to the new/modded TWoS loading screen with the red bar at the bottom, and the message that warns you that your screen might be black for 5 minutes after loading is complete before you get to the actual SH5 in game menu. I see that. I get to that point, but when the loading bar is complete, that's it, infinite black screen, the game never loads and I have to ctrl alt delete and sign out to regain control of my computer.

A couple of weeks ago that 'black screen' you get warned about would only last about 10 seconds on my PC with an SSD to load. Now it is simply infinite.

This is due to Ubisoft forcing an update to Ubisoft Connect version of the game which was designed to stop TWoS from working. If you have the Ubi Connect version, you will no longer be able to use TWoS. You will need the Steam or DVD version to continue with the mod pack

A little correction - Steam version is also launching through Ubi Connect, but despite this it does work with TWoS.

That is correct, they all launch through Ubi Connect, but only Ubi version has to be run from the "Play" button there (which becomes an "Update" button so the update is forced on you), so it's the only one affected by their stupid update. I've also noticed that SH5 is suddenly available again on their storefront. It hasn't been sold by them for ages.

Hmm... I don't have Ubi version to try this but I wonder if launching through KSD would work to bypass "Play" button

No mate, it doesn't. I used to have the Ubi version and all it does is launch Ubi Connect to the game's loading screen with the "Update" button glaring back at you. I found a copy of the Collector's Edition on DVD so use that now instead
