Yes of course I know what you mean. As I said above, unless that guy on Steam is a complete moron, the Steam version cannot be 1.2.0. Which version it is, I don't know, Steam doesnt' tell it, the forum posts don't tell it clearly. I guess it's 1.1.

But now maybe you should understand me: It doesn't matter what version is on Steam. What is contained in the Sh5.exe of Steam and some other whatnot files is: There is some ****ty DRM code in it that any patcher program cannot read - and should not read. Or do you think Steam is that stupdid to fail so miserably? They can protect their games... Maybe you understand now why you cannot update outside of Steam?

I hope you soon get some answers here, but be prepared to only read about pissed-up Steam owners of the game, they don't enjoy anything about SH5 (yet), don't forget that

Why are you saying this, XenonSurf?

To clarify: i own the Steamversion of the game. And the exe clearly reads 1.2.0.

What is the case here is that although the steamversion is patched to 1.2.0, its still a different exe than the original Ubisoft-Version 1.2.0. And this different exe is what causes the problems. Because you have to manually extract the exe out of the patch, which is not a totally foolproof workaround. I guess its got to do with the steamoverlay and maybe a different DRM-management. When you follow the steps described in the link http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...&postcount=161
its working like it should. Hope that helps!

Very much! Thanks!

If this is the case, than pretty soon even Steam players who can not find it's way trough the manual game conversion, will be able to enjoy transformed and fully modded SH5, thanks to the Sputterfish's tool (instead of only raging and trashing on Steam forums in "Fox and the Grapes" fashion

)...

Dude really, don't bother with Steam, you can find a digital version for 9 dollars ... I can even buy you one if you have problems :p

Thanks to clarify what Steam version you have, but else, there was no need to repeat all I was saying with different phrases.

I really do not understand why anyone would get this via Steam.

Oh but: do not try to understand. The Steam version of SH5 costs $29.99 (state: 1 week ago), and you can surely get non-Steam versions for less than that - and without all this s*** rumble-crumble to fix in order to play.

That should be enough of a reason, right?

Which one will you chose, the Steam version maybe? You must be a uncurable Steamkoholik then...If really you want to buy on Steam, then get SH3 for $1.69, it has far less problems to mod correctly and you can play with all sub types.
