[TEC] How to use TDWs Patcher
*****This post is being updated due to TDW making his patcher remember stuff - so no need to throw it out each time. I will update the how to soon. Remember and check out Volodya Rus version that is up to date with the new patcher*****
UPDATE 17/07/2013 Please see here for Sjizzle guide for the new patcher http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=205620 First off - stop here if you are playing SH5 through steam - the patcher will not work with the steam version of SH5.exe Edit: before starting, see post 2 about backup files Ensure you are using v1.2 of SH5 (check by looking at the top right in the main menu) Step1 - get the patcher Download the newest version from here:- LINK Save it to your desktop Extract with 7zip (or other) to desktop Step2 - make a mod open the folder that was created by unzipping the download copy these files from C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5 ***these MUST be stock files (21/04/2010)**** SH5.exe SHSim.act SHCollisions.act Paste them into your folder Step3 - add to jsgme Take the folder you have just made and place it into your MODS folder:- C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5\MODS Run jsgme right click on the patcher folder and select "Explore" Step4 - use the patcher double click on "GenericPacter" to open it select file - open Point it to - C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5\MODS\TDWpatchv1.067 select "TDW_SH5_Patches.s5p" and open point it to the folder say ok to all the warnings right click and enable all the patches you want to use Do the same with "TDW_SHCollisions_Patch.s5p" and "TDW_SHSim_Patch.s5p" Step5 - install use jsgme as normall When a new verion comes along (as they are sure to do) - just unistall and delete the folder and make a new one following the steps above. Thats all folks Or not quite all - please also see this vid from 9thinfSword Edit: - Still not all - Please see the "How to: Patcher" by Volodya61 Generic Patcher manual RUS (1.0.100 - 1.0.107) - http://www.mediafire.com/?ht2tdss144gc12d Last edited by Trevally.; 07-17-13 at 07:12 AM.

It would be good practice to keep a copy of these files in a safe place before editing them.
All from the stock game. SHSim.act SHCollisions.act sh5.exe See here for SHSim.act & SHCollisions.act (unedited) by Magic - DOWNLOAD (the name for the download ist the german word "Dateien", it means in english = files) Last edited by Trevally.; 09-09-12 at 08:17 AM. |

I think the render patches stop some of the weather effects that may cause some issues with stuttering in the game (water splash on scope lens etc) Also - can I add a link to your download for fresh SHSim.act & SHCollisions.act files |

I'll shamelessly plug my youtube video here

Quick question -
Tracking the patcher will not work through the Steam version. I usually download my games from Gamefly. Will the patcher fail with any DL version of SH IV, or strictly with the Steam and Steam only? V/r Monk |
