Welcome to Silent Hunter 5!
You'll want to download the two files:
Instructions:

Install file:
http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/down...o=file&id=4861
With this new install file it's super easy, there's just a few gotchas. So you'll download the
The Wolves of Steel 2.2_SH5 Expansion Pack_v2.2.8_Full.exe file and run it. It will ask for the install location for your Silent Hunter 5. For Steam change it to wherever your SH5 is, something similar to
C:\Steam\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Silent Hunter 5
That'll start to dump the files where they need to go. Eventually you'll get the Steam Conversion part and accept that. Then the Generic File Patcher will start up. I closed that at this point since it's going to error out. Finish the rest of the install.
THEN go back in and start Generic File Patcher. You do this by doubleclicking on the new file "E:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Silent Hunter 5\TDW_GenericPatcher_v_1_0_168_0\GenericPatcher.ex e" for example.
That's when you run through step 2 of the instructions which is basically just File, Open, Enter for days, then load the Snapshot.
That should really be it. Make sure you start SH5 default at least once.
Download the big install file. Run through it. Run through the Patcher and you're set. Also remember to save your first campaign once you're in the pen and load that save game before starting to play.
