You're a bit behind the curve.

...so are you now, Steve :D

And I'll become even more so - my computer still won't run it.
:rotfl2: ...no, wait... :damn:

The DRM is gone



If you still need to login with a username and PW at least once, and it keeps a copy of that username and PW saved locally, the DRM isn't gone. Changed yes, gone, no.

Are you having hardware-issues?
Maybe we can help.

Slowly sticking my head out of the trenches.

Next, is finding out how one can run the sim without a soup of mods.
Is there a proven supermod similar to GWX where one download will do it?

Note to Ubi:
Thank you, you got a customer back

hi Brag, welcome back :DL
Nope, there's isn't a GWX-like supermod yet.
Our very talented modders are still in the middle of fixing and improving things, but there has been made great progress.

LukeFF started working on a SH5-RUB, but that thread hasn't seen any updates for months.
But check out this topic (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?p=1750599#post1750599), you might recognize the guy who started it.:D
Some suggestions inthere could point you towards what is best for now.

My computer is six years old, so old the memory slot is AGP!
:rotfl2:

The only way you can help is to buy me a new one.

But don't worry. I'll have one someday. :sunny:

[Paajtor]

AGP is your video-card slot....but that doesn't matter, I get the message :O:

sry, just bought myself a new machine hahaha.
But getting a high-end PC isn't such a drain on your income as it used to be, years ago.
For the price of a top vid-card from 12 years back, you can buy a high-end system today.
Especially RAM and storage (HD) are very cheap.

Oh goody - one more person to add to my "hate" list.
:rotfl2: Just kidding. I make that same joke every time someone talks about their new PC.

I know. Unfortunately my current situation allows me to save about $100 per month. After I get my first car in six years, the computer is next. Shouldn't take more than another six months or so. :sunny:

Still mod soup then. It reallly is in the best interest of the game to have an all encompassing supermod that has all the fixes and enhancements working harmoniously with each other under one mod.


LukeFF started working on a SH5-RUB, but that thread hasn't seen any updates for months..

Though I don't normally speak for anyone but myself, however i think it's safe to say that SH5 RUB, as made my Luke and company (myself included in the "company"), will not be coming to fruition. Luke's moved on to other things, as have i. I don't think either one of us, nor others involved at the time, have any interest in it anymore.

:rotfl2:I was starting to wonder: is it the memory slot of the computer, or of Steve?

[Sailor Steve]

Yes. :O:

[THE_MASK]

Actually , SH5 seems to run pretty well . I think the GR2 files have something to do with it . If you just run say TDW UI mod and IRAI to start and turn shadows down . I reckon SH5 will run smoother than SH4 .

[Sailor Steve]

Well, I'll find out soon enough. :sunny:

[Madox58]

I got a heck of a deal on an AGP video card from TigerDirect.
So even if you buy a whole new system?
Adding to the old system and useing for differnt reasons is a good idea.
I also run a program that allows one set of keyboards and one mouse to control both.
:up:

[Sailor Steve]

I have an ATI 4650, 1 GB. It does the job, but there are other considerations, and I'm not spending any more money on this system. I'll have a new one soon enough.

[Madox58]

I can not think of a better person that I know that deserves one Mate.
:up:
I also can not wait for your first reviews of many issues once you have it!
:haha:
That will probably require and deserve a whole new forum!!
:har:

You're right, a single 'TMO-esque' mod for SH5 would be a dream come true. I know you've moved on, and I have the greatest respect for your decision to do so - but I do feel that we've lost one of the stars of the Silent Hunter mod scene as a result. I can only imagine what amazing things would be produced if you, TDW and Privateer were to collaborate on a supermod! It would be a 'dream team' of the highest calibre, in my humble opinion. :salute:
