Uplay must be in offline mode when installing TWOS

Default I did install offline

Yeal, this happens when I try to start the game


=> installed mod with every thing offline
=> start Ubisoft Connections
=> start SHV
=> direct game launch to correct location
=> Ubisoft Connections verify files
=> ubisoft Connections want to rewrite files it thinks is corrupt
=> I cancel operation
=> off to play another game, like EU IV


so, should I let Ubisoft rewrite the files? I believe not. That would break the mod, right?

something is wrong with your SH5 version or TWOS installation, because after launching SH5.exe there should be no Ubisoft's attempts to rewrite anything...

Hi guys!


I´ve been playing UBOAT and enjoying it very much. However, after some 5 years or so, I´d like to go back to SH5. And, after soo many years, I have some questions:


1) I have both Steam and Ubisoft digital versions of the game. I´d rather play my games trough steam, but which one goes along better with TWOS?


2) I want to take it slow, so for now, no real navigation, I´d like to see contacts on the map when visually possible, and I´d like also to use crew torpedo solutions (I´m learning how to use TDC). Is that possible?


Thanks guys!

Hi Bera,
Steam is better IMO since you wont have to manually replace sh5.exe. TWoS installer will do it for you for the Steam version.

That would be easy option in gameplay settings with disabled real nav addon in TWoS JSGME. Simple as that...
Happy hunting!

Thank you very much!!!


I´ll download it today and give it a try again. The only bad thing that I remember is having a lot of crashes, most of them when using time compression (there was even a max setting recommended) and loading saves, is it still happening today? I have a pretty good machine, upgraded it six months ago...


Thanks again!
