to enable the patches u can do it manualy or restor a snapshot click file and then restore Snapshot
to restore a snapshot u need somebody snapshot file the .gps file

Thank you very much :up: Sjizzle :sunny: :yeah:

Good thing Sjizzle :up:

You could add little precision: no need to restart career, or wait for bunker to activate new patcher version...you can do it anytime.

But the better way is to do it in the bunker.. because who knows???

:) yes, who knows...Bunker is still safer way, but just saying from own experience...changed patcher dozens times in patrol, and reloading save was always ok. No bug/glitches/issues noticed.

As safe measures for the new comers you might want to mention backing up those 5 files before patching them. I know its mentioned in other places but the question still gets asked. :)

just mentioneted in post nr #1

Thanks for creating this documentation for TDW GenericPatcher and your work on charts. The TDW GenericPatcher has changed greatly in the last 10-20 versions.

It would be a great idea if you can ask TDW to add this help link to the bottom of post #1 of
[TEC] SH5.exe patches to fix bugs and add functionality

I informed TDW and he added your help link.

Hi, can anyone help with this? I've followed the guide here and keep getting this error message. I never used to get it early this year when I first used the patcher. I've reinstalled, tried on and offline, as administrator, patching directly to SH 5 .exe in the SH5 folder and to a copy elsewhere.

There is no other application using the SH5 .exe according to my task manager.

:o

no any comments :hmmm:

stop the uplay and and if u have that error the go to task manager and kill
sh5 processes, uplay processes

Hmmm, I was thinking along same lines but there's no Ubi, Uplay or SH5 process to kill. Same message, but I get a follow up message too which says it doesn't recognise the exe. The exe I'm using is from a fresh install patched to v1.2. It's a 4278 KB SH5 Application last modified 21/4/10 at 10:51

Not sure if it's relevant but the patch tells me I'm now playing SH5 Gold Edition, which is news to me but does it use another exe?

u have the steam version of the game ?

Nice one Sjizzle.
:up:
The Patcher is a nifty tool!

No, and the patcher used to work a few months back.
