Does not work on windows 10 at all!
Gives me the Games window showing the intro on a small window size screen then next after you click on it or it stops the game would just close down by itself :/ and yet my laptop I got now is meant for Gaming so God knows wtf is going on!

Hey @nathan, I'm not running it under 10 but I believe here's the forum thread where you may find a fix for the problem: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=221384

Win10 is 'badly'

I play using w10 and hosted mplayer sh5, using w10, so not a windows 10 problem. have you tried going into the directory and executing gu.exe (game updater), should automatically come up when u run sh5 anyway, but just in case....

I had the same problem. Windows 10 by default scales the display to 125%, so two solutions are to 1. set the display to 100%, or 2. tick the "disable display scaling on high dpi" in compatibility settings.

Yeah, win10 has alot of compat probs atm.

Best stick with 7x64 <--- the best.

Yet I remember using windows 7 but my laptop then could not play it due to the Graphics card :/

It works perfectly on Win 10 for me, It's probably steam version having issues, buy a key from {LINK REMOVED} for 5 euros and activate it on UPLAY directly, many issues with this game are probably related to steam, buy a UPLAY key and all problems are gone, I never buy UPLAY games on Steam cause I'm aware of the incompatibilities that might arise, if a game requires having an account on another platform buy from that platform directly, Steam is very good but if it's a game from Ubisoft, buy from UBISOFT SHOP directly, I've never had any issue with UPLAY

many thanks for comments, have had digital download of sh5 + key since 2010, or whenever the release date was.
