[TEC] SH5.exe patches to fix bugs and add functionality

[blkdimnd]

Where do you download from? There is no TDW_SH5_Patches_Special_EXE.s5p file in the regular download. Download again.

:up:

PS Click. (http://www.mediafire.com/download/uw4u84n4ifdpws5/TDW_GenericPatcher_v_1_0_164_0.zip)

I used the version found here on SubSim.
http://www.subsim.com/radioroom//downloads.php?do=file&id=4331.

I tried with the version you linked, and am getting the same error. I'll try a fresh install of SH5 again, maybe the 1.20 patch didn't take correctly.

[Defiance]

So you installed TDW_GenericPatcher_v_1_0_164_0

Then d/loaded sobers .gps

Had the patcher put that snapshot in and you ctd ?

I suggest you dl this again

http://www.mediafire.com/download/72uk2qkn0k9koet/TDW_GenericPatcher_v_1_0_164_0.zip

Hopefully you backed up the files needed to restore sh5 back to stock (the .exe and other gubbins needed)

Then reinstall the above

Then use sobers snapshot (the .gps)

The actual link you posted last is just a .gps (saved setup of the patcher called a snapshot)

Might be the time of evening but am i missing something ?

Oops, linked to the wrong file.
But yes, you have it exactly correct.

I did have all the files backed-up, but I'm doing a total fresh install as we speak. I'll let you know what happens...

[blkdimnd]

Working now. :up:
Don't know what went wrong the last 4 times. :doh:

Now to see if my mod soup works...

When I go to download from

http://www.mediafire.com/download/72uk2qkn0k9koet/TDW_GenericPatcher_v_1_0_164_0.zip

chrome gives me a message that the file 'is malicious, and Chrome has blocked it.'

Anyone else run into this problem? I presume this is safe to download but wanted to check in first.

Could be a false positive depending on the virus engine. I do not use Chrome personally. I know Chrome is Google's brower right? Does it have an antivirus engine built into it?

I have had downloads off by one kilobyte and a virus antiscan reads them wrong.

I'm confident you're right here.

Yes, Chrome has some 'security' settings e.g. something they call 'protection agains malicious software'.

I'm positive that's the answer to why Chrome recognizes some software as malicious.

If you've got an anti -virus program running it should be reasonable to just un-tick that setting in the Chrome settings and the issue is gone.

Hiya's,

Two weird problems i can't figure out, one is somewhat to do with the patcher (or more like me fubaring it)

Other might be .............

The AI repair patch i enable in patcher (where the ai tries to repair etc via the repair or flood icon)

The flood one works fine eg : i need help as i flood, i click guy (forget name lol) and select the line to start speeding up flood repair, all's well the icon pops up and slowly starts ticking down (clockwise as usual)

Now when i get damaged, i go through the same process and the repair icon pops up, but it stays the same, it doesn't tick down

Any ideas on this repair fubar ? :D

Best add when i redo game etc, i save vanilla gps, then restore my snapshot, is this a problem ? i mean should i just alter the vanilla gps to my liking ?

Two, for some reason when i check for non warships by pinging i get 2 responses, like, xxx 10k 320deg long range xxx 10k 320deg long range, but when i ping for warships i get just a lone return eg xxx 10k 320deg long range, any ideas on that ? (this i can live with as it doesn't seem to mess the game up)

I did read about redoing the saved stock files that patcher alters, just tried it, started from bunker save, damaged boat after hitting a ship to get damaged icon for repair still not ticking down

It's gotta be something simple i'm messing up i know

Any Input much appreciated :oops:

The Chief ability "2. Increase Repair Rate" is a toggle ability:
Talk to the Chief to start it (icon appears and morale is used up over the time it is active)
Talk to the Chief and select the same line to stop the activity. The icon should disappear.

His response is the same in both instances but I think that's because it couldn't be customized for a 'toggle' ability.

I believe the dialog was actually was introduced with "Athlonic's MCCD "More Crew Commands by Dialog" MOD (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=166236)"; at least it wasn't introduced with the SH5.exe Patcher.

The "AI repairs" refer to damaged NPC ships ( from the patch notes ):
"Starting with v1.0.81.0 revised the SHCollisions AI Crew Damage Control patch. The patch now takes crew veterancy level, unit's HPs ratio, and unit's type into consideration. Most effects will stop when crew fixes damage to the zone (box) :rock:. I'm still looking for a few controllers so that I can stop them all."

Hi TheDarkWraith,

I've been poking around your mod to see if I can make it work with steam.
I was able to turn off the intro movies via your genericpatcher software and launch it via steam. (Intro was disabled)
I am unsure if others have been able to do this or not?

Thanks a lot for all these mods and things for me to play with :)
I really appreciate everybody being so open about modding on the forum.

Sorry for not being clear enough.
I am asking the mod creator for a way to verify that what I say is true.
The only way I can say that it is working is that I'm clicking on my steam game and its launching it with the intro movie disabled (an option in his genericpatcher).

Sorry for being unclear, english is not my first language.

Starting with v1.0.165.0 added a new patch to SHSim_act: RPM inertia. Player's unit and AI unit's shafts/props will now have inertia and thus will not 'spin up' or 'spin down' at ridiculous speeds. See the Notes= of the patch for how to change the multipliers

Well done TDW :rock:

Off topic: the other day I had another of my ideas on a possible new patch: what about radio and gramophone enhancing crew morale when they are switched on, but at the cost of a bigger underwater noise signature for the boat? Would such a feature be possible at all?

[plj]

Thank you for the great work you did on the patcher since I left b/c of broken puter ... I look forward to using it :)

One little question, what are the patchers dependancies ? I am running on a Linux box, and would probably have to install a few things in my wineprefix before I get it to work ?

Right now, it opens, asks for the usual file locations, but then comes with a rather useless exception: <see attached screenshot>

I suspect, based on the error, that I'm gonna need another version of the .net framework, besides 2 ?


EDIT: You need .NET 3.5 in order to run the patcher. Issue solved, thanks again for the patcher!

[moha14881]

Here i made some tests with the sh5.exe patch by tdw ideea:

i used hydro and my sonar reported me:

1)an merchant contact at 61 degree and at 2980 range
2) i run cronometer for 5 minutes
3) the sonar guy reported me the same contact at 49 degrees at 2170 range
4) i made the ploting for 1 contact and mark1 and i made the ploting for second contact report (after 5 min) and i mark2
5) i draw a line between mark 1 and mark 2 and i measured the distance between mark 1 and mrark2 - the distance was 950 metters
6) i used the speed chart speed from tdw uis and i saw that for an distance of 950 metters in 5 minutes the speed is 6 knots
so now i have all the data i need for that ship (wiothout to make an visual contact - only by hidro)
7) i go at periscope dept and i checke on map to see how acurate were my readings:

look what i found:

http://i1124.photobucket.com/albums/l568/stoianm/hydro.jpg

Just amaising... the cource and speed of ship is SO ACURATE... i never had such an acurate reading in my life (using the stady or any other methode) - so TDW thank you so much for this patch ideea

I don't know why but when you hover the mouse over where a unit is you get the unit's type. For me I get nothin' not that small pop up box! I need it because I don't know if to go after that contact and what its speed is!!!!:arrgh!::hmm2:

[THEBERBSTER]

I think you can make this change in TDW's Options File Editor Viewer.

Have a look in the TAI and Nav map options?

I think it is 'Contact Spotted Info'!

You will need to scroll down to find it.

I'm Using the latest Patcher. When I man the deck gun for a surface attack, I call up the deck gun commands menu from the Watch Officer Pic.
The first time I order "Fire at Will" the gun fires. Then, say I order Cease Firing for some reason.
The problem comes when I order fire at will again, Nothing happens.
I have wondered if the firing key has been changed (space bar).
So, to get the gun to resume firing, I have had to resort to unmanning and remanning the gun crew, which works.
In the patcher, I have enabled the "Stop Auto Firing" patch, but have NOT enabled the "no yellow triangle" patch.
Coould this somehow be the problem. Has anyone else had this firing problem?
Wondering...

Thanks for that BERBSTER. I copied your posts for reference. While I will try your way step by step, I have a question for you.
Do you think the problem being caused by my ordering Battlestations from the 1st officer instead of the watch officer? That appears to be the only difference. Everything else is working fine, even ordering to aim at different features on the ship such as "below water line" or "fire at bridge", all this works fine. If I order "Hold Fire" it works. It's just when I try to resume fire, that's when I run into the problem of inaction.
I will use definitely use your post step by step and see if I get a different result. Your post also helped greatly with another problem about the crew leaving the gun pointed helter skelter, even back at the bridge. I should not have that problem any longer thanks to your post.
I'll check back.
Thanks again.

[Mehring1917]

Hi, over the last year or so I've had intermittent major butt pain trying to use this patcher and in case I have finally discovered the cause, here is what I found. It wasn't any AV or firewall and, in spite of the error messages, the SH5.exe was not being used by another process.

Although I don't understand when or why they would change, I found that the files to be patched were having their security properties changed. Right clicking the files and opening properties/security tab revealed they would sometimes, always the .exe, become 'write only' for some group or user names. A new user name was also generated which I have never found on any other file.

Enabling write permissions for all users and/or deleting the mysterious new user allowed the patcher to work properly.... I think. The .exe is now 4.35mb. Is that the right size? Fingers crossed.

[THEBERBSTER]

Hi Dogfish

If you are referring to Battle Stations to use the Deck Gun then it should always come from the Watch Officer.

When you close the Battle Station icon through him it is that action that repositions the Deck Gun correctly.

Other than that it should not be a problem to use another officer.

I would not use the shortcut key to call Battle Station always go through an officer.

You will also come across a bug in SH5 where you lose your Deck Gun Crew when the sea is not smooth.

You will need to keep an eye on your Crew Icon and Deck Gun Icon staying lit.

You will know you have that problem when you cannot traverse the gun, assuming you are firing it and not the gun crew.

With regards to inaction just keep an eye on what icons are lit, again this is all part of the bug.

Peter

[THEBERBSTER]

Hi Mehring

Are you using the stand-alone patcher or the one in TDW's NewUi mod?

Peter

[Mehring1917]

hi Berbster, I've used several stand alones over time, latest being 164 and 165. 128 worked ok IIRC but now obsolete. Using 164 ATM as it corresponds with latest Sober megamod.

I was curious to see if it was a computer/OS problem but today I tried patching the files on a laptop with a different OS and no uplay/SH5. Same .exe error. Can't understand why the patcher works ok for everyone else.

Still, it does seem to be ok. Not sure if there's a definitive test to see if all is installed correctly.

[THEBERBSTER]

if u mean the ruler, protractor and compass map color u can change them back to the default color by using your backup file witch one u must made it before to patch the game...or there is also and option in the game UI right click on the compass, ruler, protractor and a color option will be displayed and from there u can change it back to the default color... to have this option u must have the latest version of tdw's UI 7.5.0

Thanks for the report :up: AI units and the player's unit should no longer have super acceleration and deceleration anymore with this patch enabled. Should be much harder for units to speed up to avoid an incoming torpedo. You can tailor the patch to taste by clicking the Notes= of the patch and following the directions (you could make the accelerations and decelerations even slower if you wanted to).

Works great:up:. My sub has been on the bottom for about an hour. I decided to make my way to the surface to see where the escorts were located. One was stopped 1500m in front of me and I was able to slam two torpedoes into her side:yeah:. She did not accelerate away, I could not tell if she tried to accelerate or not, it was night. Back to the bottom as the other escort is picking up speed. Thanks!!

It's not the patcher as I haven't released any patches that deal with adding/changing damages yet. It's definitely something in WOS.

There's a problem in the patch? :O: I'm looking into it. Trying to get the game to CTD near scapa like you have to see what is causing it when the new RPM inertia patch is enabled :up:

Hi TDW :salute:

Can you please have a look into my suggestion about radio/gramophone, crew morale, and u-boat detection (post #3285 into this thread)?
I know there still are more important aspects of this game which deserve your attenction, but it would be nice (and a step forward towards a full simulation) if music played a bigger role in SH5 than pure listening pleasure for the human captain. :-)

Got the game to CTD with the new RPM inertia patch enabled. Looks like the game is throwing me a curve ball :hmmm: Have to figure out how to determine why a certain type of object is being asked to update it's RPM then test for it and skip over it...

Fixed in v1.0.168.0 :up:



v1.0.168.0 released. See post #1

Starting with v1.0.168.0 revised the RPM inertia patch again in the SHSim_act to fix CTDs

Works now :up: The game just got 100X better with the latest RPM inertia patch .

I just found where the code iterates over all the player's unit's damageable items :rock:I now know how to get the current damage of each item (and thus how to set it to a higher value if I want - think random failures :D). When I say all the sub's damageable items I mean crew, systems, parts, weapons, etc. :yeah: There are 76 damageable items defined for the sub I'm currently using in game.

Why wasn't there a damage bar for each of the crew in the vanilla game ! Maybe some day you could add some ?

Possible but why? You can get that information from the crew window :hmmm:


After finding the mecca of how the game does damages I tracked down how it repairs those damages. Longer repair times patch anyone :06: :D I found the function that takes care of repairing the damage and tomorrow I'll decode it to see how it's calculating how much damage to repair and over what time span.

How to change the tool helper??? The stock has confused me???

[TheDarkWraith]

How to change the tool helper??? The stock has confused me???

Don't understand the question :06:



Let's talk about how the player's crew repairs damage. For one, it's severely lacking and oversimplified :shifty: Quite frankly, it sucks big time :down: It needs a major overhaul :yep:

Every 7.373 seconds the repair damage timer fires. Remember this number. The game then iterates through all the compartments defined in ActiveUserPlayerUnits.upc file. Each compartment then iterates through all of the equipment, crew, weapons, etc. contained in them. If the game finds that an item has damage (damage > 0.0 - damage is 0-1.0 value) it then calculates the efficiency multiplier (most of the time it's 1.0 - could be less but never seen it more than 1.0) and multiplies the efficiency multiplier by the 7.373 number (this is the timer fire value). That result is then divided by 3600 (3600 seconds to an hour). That result is then subtracted from the current damage to the item resulting in it's new damage value (less than before). That's it :-? Are you serious? :huh: That's the best the devs could do for crew repairing damage to items???? :nope:

Realize that every 7.373 the crew tries to repair EVERYTHING that is found to be damaged. That is not even close to being anything near realistic. I would expect something like this for a Nintendo DS or something similar but for a game marketed as a simulator? I'm about to have a fit of rage!

Ok, we see what crap we were dealt now let's talk about how we are going to fix it :yep: I have a couple of ideas but let's see what you all have for ideas.

[Comvas]

I notice when I go to deck's awash the SH5 icon shows me under water and the watch officer will not report on the nearest target even when I go up to the bridge myself and see it fully staffed. Also radio messages can't be sent even with the radio antenna up. Flak guns on the tower can't be manned. The exhaust on type VII is not down by the waterline, but high behind just under the flak gun. It appear that SH3 had this correct and that SH5 does not.

I'm using your new UI by TDW and most of the equipment mods, plus your TDW_GenericPatcher_v_1_0_164_0. Is there an easy way to signal SH5 that 7 meters is not truly underwater crippling decks awash?

[TheDarkWraith]

I notice when I go to deck's awash the SH5 icon shows me under water...

That right there is your problem. You must have a mod enabled that is modifying the sub's .cfg file. If everything is correct then the game should not show the underwater icon when using decks awash. The only thing you shouldn't be able to use when running decks awash is the binoculars.

[THEBERBSTER]

I am getting an error message come up.

I have done a reinstall

Uplay did all the updates ok

I logged in to Uplay ok

Uplay then went to do an update as it sometimes does when you start but before you see the play button.

Error message.

Uplay launcher has stopped working a problem caused the program to stop working correctly.

Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.

Which of course it does not.

Any ideas what could be causing this?

[TheDarkWraith]

I would try going to Add/Remove programs and uninstalling the UCrap launcher. Then I would ensure that no traces of it were left behind in folders or in the registry. Then I would go to Ubis website and download the newest version of their UCrap. Oh it pains me to say anything about that DRM crap :dead:

Run the installer when it asks or save it to your computer if you want

Alrighty then let's try setting the warship to a ridiculously slow acceleration/deceleration rate. It's quite possible that my multipliers are not set correctly.

First disable the RPM inertia patch.

Set Code6= to this in the \Patches\SH5\TDW_SHSim_Patch.s5p:
Code6=0x60,6F12833ACDCC4C3DCDCC4C3D0000803F

This will set the warship multiplier to 0.001 from the 0.1 I had it originally at.

Re-enable the RPM inertia patch. Realize this is only changing the multiplier for warships - it doesn't affect merchants or anything else. Go to external cam when you know this is going to happen and watch the props of the warship. Let me know your findings :yep:

Yes, i installed all of them, and running SH5 with Uplay...

When i launch game, i don't get anymore the annoying synchroniser window before accessing main game screen, so it's working fine that way, but after launching saved mission (or bunker) i get this weird popup window telling me game needs internet connection (even offline with Uplay setting tools)...

Hello,

I don't know if it is the good thread (sh5. exe or irai), so i post here :)

i have a question about the airplanes carrieres : i did some test on them, but i can't get them to have scout airplanes. are there something to do to get some scout airplanes for an aircraft carrers, and in case they find a "target" they launch a strike ? Perhaps some parameters to update ?

I have another problem, is i can't get airstrike from aircraft carrier when a friendly unit encounter an ennemy unit. (ps : i modified airstrike.cfg and put 80 % default for airstrike).

If someone has some ideas about this ? :hmmm:

Thanks ! :D

@TDW :

i found this post concerning what mentionned above :

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showpost.php?p=2078297&postcount=2170

i am not sure it is implemented or not concerning the scout planes, but in case it is or in case you will implement some days, would it be possible
to have a parameter for the distance of the scout plane (instead of 20 km) ?
Or perhaps using, but more complicated, the type of airplane group (300, 303, ...) for a carrier, if it is a plane able to scout and take the distance in the plane ".cfg" file ?. I don't know of there are ariplanes type saying that this one is a scout one (searched but found nothing about a scout ability for an aircraft, i just saw that there are different types of aicraft like 300, 303 in the .cfg files.

Hi!


Nice to see that things go forward but there is still one or two ugly SH5 bugs that needs fix.


1. Is there anyway to fix my crew x-ray vision. They spot ships at 15000meters away even there is thig fog and about 100 meters visiblity. :har:

*And small but anoying thing, if i load save weather can be totally difrent than it was when i saved game :o

Thank you for all other fixes you have made. Gives hope that SH5 is good to play in someday. :salute:

[niwo]

There is another bug with the ghost destroyer that only disappears when you reload the game, and that's the next problem. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I may have noticed that destroyers "forget" you when you load a save game where they were hunting you. Another thing that's very annoying is that map marks are deleted when reloading a save. Thus I'm going back to shiii. I'm sick of all these bugs. Flak doesn't aim right, torpedoes doesn't hit despite of correct data and depth and so on. Eyecandy alone does not make a game.

Hello all,

is someone know how to make the carriers spawn recon aircrafts ?
(ps : i apllied all the TDW patchs)

after some tests, i never saw carrier spawning aircraft (i mean without
carrier receive a report contact).

perhaps i am wrong, and carrier only spawn if they detected something
(seems same for airbase)

if someone has an idea.....

If I remember correctly, the last time I discussed the corresponding patch with TDW he told me that carriers should deploy a few scout aircraft every once in a while :hmm2:

[GaetVa]

Hello Gap,

Thanks, i read all the posts concerning the carriers patchs, but don't find
something about this.

In the tries i did for now, never saw a scout plane from aircraft carrier.
i will make others tries. i was thinking about the aircraft type defined in the group of the CV, perhaps it must be a recon type plane.

I have only this mod installed (everything in the list) and it gives me a CTD when I press M for map.

Ok I am about to pull all my hair out of my head. I am trying to the get the sober silent hunter 5 mega mod to work. I have a steam version of silent hunter 5, which when installed it loaded version 1.2 i am following all the instructions and when i am doing the patches with generic file patcher it get the following error:

EXE version error

File C:\Program Files (x86)\steam\steamapps\common\Silent Hunter 5\sh5.exe is different version that expected!

Update 1: Fixes the year entry being written over in the DestroyedUnits.ini file for each [unit_x] entry

Reason: Bytes read does not equal old value or new value

Bytes read: 7B694B0F71
Old Value: 686C027400
New Value: 6884996F00

Once I press OK it continues to add all other patches except the SH5.exe

If I attempt to start the game it gives me failed start error code 51

WHAT AM I DOING WRONG!!!
PLEASE HELP!!!

TDW's patcher and patches were designed over the non-steam version of the game. Nonetheless, there's a workaround allowing steam users to enjoy TDW's patches:

Az utolsó mentés beolvasásakor kidob. Bosszantó.

Per my poor translator:
Hello Sailors!
There is a problem with the SH by 5. After 10-15 the terms "messes up" and throw out on the table. I put your back to it all, the penultimate mentéstől goes on.
Retrieving the last save throw out. Annoying.
If anyone knows that this is what causes, we'd appreciate if you could you.
More good hunting.

I think he means CTD but I've never had a CTD so I'm unqualified here!

[sinferis]

Hi there :)

I used the generic patcher to activate the MANUAL DIVE PLANES, and checked the readme.txt.

Up to TDw excellent job, i managed to activate the fonction, BUT when i click, the needle moves, but NOTHING HAPPENS...

I checked readme again, and it says "To define dials to allow for changing of the fore and aft diveplanes:
- the dial for the fore diveplanes HAS to be named TDWForeDiveplaes
- the dial for the aft diveplanes HAS to be named TDWAftDiveplanes"

I checked and saw dials called "fore dive planes Position" and the other one, i modified names, but nothing happened...

Anyone can help plz ? -:doh:

can post your mod list ? and u have updated the game to 1.20 ?

[InvisibleDeath]

Good evening fellow captains,

I have finally gotten things set so I can install and run SH5 free of Steam. So the first thing I did was download the patch program to fix the issues with the program and enjoy it the way it was meant to be.

I patched the program using the latest version of the file patcher. Once I got everything I wanted (and keeping the items unset that hindered progress) I started up the program. But now the UPlay Auto Updater runs and hangs and never lets the program run.

Suggestions? Or do I just restore and not run a fixed program??!!!

[Dermeister]

[QUOTE=Dermeister;2386822]Yes and yes. I disabled all my mods when I Installed the Patcher. Then I created a new campaign and skipped the tutorial and BAM! CTD. I can post the mods I intended to enable ? but at the time of the crash I had 0 mods.

You do not need to disable the mods regarding the patcher.
The patcher only looks to where your game is installed.

The problem with Uplay?
Did you change any of the Advanced patches in TDW's GFP?

Try running the launcher application in administrator mode.

the game has no error logs? I don't understand why it would crash I did a fresh install and still ctds... so perhaps its 1 of the patch I enabled? game runs fine with out the patcher :(

I am having trouble understanding and getting to function the independent engine controls. I have enabled it in the patcher and the option file editor.
I have also edited the PY script to True for the hotkey " I " by hand. Now I am not really sure how all of this works and I could'nt find anything in any read-me or by searching in the forum so could somebody please be so kind as to give me a rundown on how this works and how to implament this option. I am not having trouble with any other option or patch, just this one. I am running TWOS and that is it.

When using the option editor it would'nt allow mw to enable the hot key so I went in a manually changed it myself to true. Also In the notes for the patch it say that it can only be used via scripting. What does that mean? Also, is this a file path
Game.SubmarineCommands.ExecuteCommand( "Port_engine_only" ). Do I have to manually input this into a file?

[ridley]

I have installed SH5 and updated to 1.2.

I have now installed and ran the Generic file patcher. What I cannot seem to find is a Noobs list of with patches to enable.

Any recommendations?

I just enabled this patch. Haven't tried it yet, and now I read that you have to enable a file by hand? Is this true? If so what file, and how? Or did I read that wrong in TDW's patch list?

[XenonSurf]

This patch, which short name is known as TDW Generic Patcher, is a MUST-HAVE for whatever version of SH5 you play. It will correct approx. 60 game-breaking bugs.
This patch is included in TWoS, with its newest version you don't have to bother anymore, it will be installed automatically.
And in my humble opinion, unless you are an *expert* in SH5, you should not play anything else than TWoS. For myself, I did play the vanilla game including this patch, plus other TheDarkWraith's mod series for SH5, but the playing result of such a corrected vanilla game is still *far inferior* to TWoS, especially for the in-sub visuals, unrealistic maps, stupid needed tonnage performances in your missions, reduced Automation features etc, etc. Just forget it.

That said, to answer your question: the exact HowTo for installing this patch is included in the TWoS thread, but I don't know if it's still there, because Vecko has automated the process. However read it carefully if you install by hand, and read an entire novel if you have the Steam version of the game :)
If you happen to have the Steam version of SH5, then *by all means* make a fresh install of SH5, update it to 1.2 and install the newest TWoS, you save a lot of time. In this case I also advice you to start a fresh career, do not use your old saves.
