First, your link is just local and only available on your computer.
Second, how this window looks, if you cannot a screenshot? Are this boxes just black or gray with white or silver border like this ones?

It is exactly the same as the second picture inside the bunker! My apologies for linking an image incorrectly, I am not very computer savvy!

In this case something went wrong at installation of TWoS.

The best will be to reinstall SH5, update to version 1.2 and then install TWOS again. And please do what the installation manual of TWoS tell about. And please remember, do not install SH5 in "C:\Program Files" or "C:\Program Files (x86)".
BTW: My experience about the installation of TWoS is, to start the setup as administrator.

Last patch of SH5 you can find here: https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/dow...o=file&id=5168
The installation manual of TWoS you will find here: http://www.mediafire.com/file/5ru57h...structions.pdf

I have tried reinstalling it 10 times over now onto clean versions of the game and it simply will not go away, i have followed the installation instructions exactly as written. the only difference i am having is with the Generic Patcher, it states i should Open file and press Enter "40 times or so" until all 9 Patches show on screen, altough i am only getting one patch appear. I have exhausted my options and are now becoming extremely frustrated, any further advice is very much wanted and appreciated.

I am having an issue where a black box covers the majority of the screen when i load into the bunker/quick mission, along with a black box with grey outline with an "accept" button in the lower right corner of this box (pressing it does nothing).. other issues i am having are that the "captain" or whatever he is called to get missions in my career mode is blank, there is nothing for me to select, same with the submarine upgrades guy, nothing to click on in the text box. i am certain i am running V1.2.0 of the game and i have the latest version of TWoS mod. Another issue i am having is with the Generic Patcher, in the installation instructions it states there should be 9 patches visible if done correctly, only 1 is showing in my case, i have tried several times and followed all instructions by the letter. I need HELP!
I think i have worked out how to upload photos but since there are so many i will link the whole album.
I have tried to be as detailed as possible and am more than happy to add more if needed.
PLEASE HELP!!
Best point of contact would be discord @ jimbo13slice
but i will be on here daily.
Kind regards,
James

What folder are you trying to install the game into Jimbo13? Also, what is the source of your game? ie: Steam, or Ubisoft?

les green01 · 07-13-23, 10:52 PM

if it just the Generic Patcher not working right you can try doing it from the game folder see if it works that way

I install the game in my documents, I have a CD version of the game, it’s very old.

Could you elaborate on that a little more please? What do you mean, I don’t quite understand sorry!!

Jimbo13 · 07-14-23, 06:19 AM

I have got the generic patcher working correctly now showing all 9 patches, is there anything in there that might remove those boxes from my screen?
I simply cannot follow the install instructions any more than i already do, everything is as instructed.

If you have there all 9 patches, then you just have to restore the snapshot and close the patcher.

Done all the generic patcher stuff, that’s working fine, but I’m still getting those boxes on screen when in game, possibly an issue with my copy of the game I reckon

Did SH5 works without TWoS?
