What might be the reason for error in saving game?
are you running mods beside TWoS or changing mods during the game or saving around ships or planes or maybe underwater i never had a problem with saves on TWoS so dont know how much help i can be

Icon9 Need Help

Guys,

Need your help.
Haven't played the game for a while. I have a steam version of a game, but it just don't work. Crashes occur when trying to start new campaign, and game freezes when clicking on "Graphics Settings".
Upon entering museum I get a tab up top with ship type but the screen is black.
I tried everything that suggested here, DPI set correctly, run as admin and have properties on win7.
I suppose, that it may have something with GPU, but cant find out, what's wrong.

P.S.
SH3 and SH4 same issue.

Default Uplay unable to syncronize saves = cant play SH5

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?

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

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

Thanks I will look into that . My latest save was from march 2018, so four years have passed since the last time I played the game.

Default On-screen controls way too small

Hi everyone,
I need your advice please.



I've installed SH5 on my Windows 11, 17" laptop.
I've set the 'Run as Admin', compatibility and DPI settings as suggested in this thread, and it appears to be running okay. However, the message box and the on-screen controls are so small, they are practically unreadable (see link below). My resolution is 3840x2160, but if I reduce it, the game just runs in a small window. I can't seem to find a solution to this so can anyone help me out please?
Many thanks

ahoy, there, Tbird.

cannot see your photo (404 error) as it is probably stored in a private area for your userid.

no matter, have you tried using the 16:9 aspect ratio?
unfortunately, that is the highest resolution that Ubi have presented us to use.
keep in mind that 1920x1080 was state of the art back in 2007 when Ubi released this game.
now, 15 years later, the world has evolved but Ubi's design has remained in 2007.
sad, but true.
good luck!
