Thank`s for any help.
ps
i have now got it working ok had to down load uplay again to get it working

Yes, I had that problem. The UbisoftGameLauncher that installs with the game is not enough. You must go online to your Uplay account and download the UbisoftGameLauncher App and install it all over again. It will give direct access to the log onto UPlay through a dialog box.

Once you have the dialog box you can click the gear box to change settings. Go to Network settings and check the box to 'Always start Uplay in offline mode'. After that is done you can run the game without bothering with Uplay.

Also if anyone is running Windows 10 or 8 you may have to change the SH5.exe properties | Compatibility and check 'Disable display scaling on high DPI settings' ...as well as.... 'Run as administrator'

So far so good on Windows 10.

TopSecr3t · 10-05-15, 06:51 PM

Been using Win 10 works alright for me

Hmm I get kind of a semi start up in Win 10,, I have Up play from the Boxed start up, online turned off and I get the start up video sequence and that's it, when it ends nothing more happens.

first hello all fellow subsim fans

if you want to run silent hunter 4 and 5 with windows 10 you have to right click on the .exe file sh4/5.exe and go to compatibility then you have a new point in windows 10 its called something like high dpi upscaling, check this box, the game should now start. I had the same problem, the game didnt pop up, it was only viewable in the taskmanager.

Thank you Harmsway! for your answer of 08-24-2015 to download the UbisoftGameLauncher. I have not run SH5 for some years, and have changed PC also, so I had to install the game again. But it did not start until I found your advice!

Hans Von Beehan is back also with some SH3/4/5 action!

Hope to see ya'll on the high seas soon!

"Run as administrator"

Um, No.

Sorry, .exe from Romanian developer, you can't run as administrator.

Team Viewer automatically blocks connections from Indian IPs. Same idea.
