Any issues with SH5 Amazon Download version?

Atony94 · 09-25-18, 07:29 PM

Hello,

Casual subsimmer returning here. I got so frustrated with the steam version of SH5 and trying all the different work arounds provided by the awesome community here

to get the necessary patches and mods running but I ended up with just uninstalling the game and going back to SH4.

Recently had an interest to get back into SH5 (been on a german WW2 sim kick lately with Post Scriptum, Il2 BoS, and now SH5

) but I don't want to deal with steam's nonsense. I found a version on amazon that'd downloadable HERE but I'm wondering if it's just going to be the same issues again or if it'll be just like having a DVD copy?

Before you spend your money you should know that the latest "The Wolves of Steel" megamod should work just fine with v1.2.0 Steam version of the game.

Cheers!

I read a few posts saying that but that there's also still problems with TDW patcher?

Not with TWoS because it contains Sputerfish's "Steam conversion tool" in the installer.

And to answer your original question...All SH5 versions except Steam are perfectly moddable (generic patcher ECT).

Hm alright great. I'll give it a go with steam then. All I really want to run is TWoS anyways. If I have any headaches cause of steam I'll just get the amazon version it's only $10

Thanks for the help! Happy hunting!

But the steam version just forward you to Uplay, so in real, it is not a steam game.
