That's great! However, I forgot to include one very important step:

After completing the SH4 install with or without Mods, you need to run the Large Address Aware (LAA) utility (it is in the Utility section of Downloads). THe file name is:
[TEC] Large Address Aware (32bit OS RAM Usage Fix)

I let it install to the D:\Ubisoft folder, and put a shortcut on my desktop because I also run it for SH3 and any other older game.

LAA will allow the SH4.exe program to exceed the 2GB maximum memory limit that is built into the program. It's pretty self-explanatory, as you can see from these simple steps:

First , if the SH4.exe from the game folder does not already show in the PATH box, use the ADD function to browse to your game folder and highlight the SH4.exe program.
After completing the Add, check the box in front of that line in LAA, and then from the "With Selected" command, click on the first line to force the program to be Large Address Aware.

The LAA Status should now show TRUE.

Running this will prevent CTD's and greatly enhance your SH4 experience.

Good luck, and have FUN!

Select properties, UNCHECK the Read Only box, then CHECK the "Subfolders and Files" box. Click on Apply. It will take a few minutes to complete the process. That should allow JSGME to apply the mod properly. Worked for me, anyway. Good Luck.

Got the same mods-unworking problem, applied your "uncheck read onky box", and then every mods WORK !
Thanks to you all, mates

So I dont know what I am doing wrong and I am kinda at my wits end on this one. I want to get Silent Hunter 5 Wolves of Steel running but every time I download it the JSGME just fails to download or load. It basically tells me "was unable to find file."

Its been years sense I have actually downloaded this mod and sadly the instructions are kinda lacking on any issues like this or really what I am doing wrong here as I did follow the instructions (At least I believe I did to the degree it requested) and I really want to play this game while waiting for the game Uboat to fully release and probably even after that.

Does anyone have any solutions that could help me here... as sadly SH5 base game is simply just unplayable.

The Wolves of Steel (TWoS) is an SH5 mod, and you have landed in an SH4 section. However, no biggie. Just to be aware. In the meantime, you do not need JSGME with TWoS. It is an executable file, such as:

"The_Wolves_of_Steel_2.2_SH5_Expansion_Pack_v2.2.6_ Full.exe"

Once you have it downloaded, just run it, and it will extract and install itself. It does follow the Windows registry though, and you are better off not having your SH5 installed in a Program Files folder. Be sure and read vdr1981's instructions at [REL]The Wolves of Steel - SH5 Megamod... He has pdf instructions listed in his signature there, or from The_Wolves_of_Steel_2.2_Install_instructions.pdf - Good luck!

Yeah. As the title said I was not intending to be in the wrong one. If I had found the issue in a silent hunter 5 forum I would of went there but sadly I could not find anyone there. I hope this issue is solved with another install as the issue I was having is the Silent Hunter 5 JSGME was not actually being made when I did the launcher. Though I had no idea why this would happen even with the steps. Sorry again.

The TWoS mods end up in a slightly differntly named folder... I am not at my SH5 computer at the moment though, and cannot remember the path... If I get a chance later this evening, I'll try to take a look. Surely though, someone else will come along in the meantime.

Thomas,

There are visitors to SH5 forums. There are times when real life (RL) steps in and that causes some regular visitors to not visit for a while.

so feel free to post in the proper/respective forum, just know that the answer to your post may not be immediate.
