Watch Out New Patch for SH 5
 

WARNING

Ubisoft has a new SH5 patch and autoupdate.

This will overwrite your mod files. You will return to stock game.

Unload all your mods before patching.

Print out the mod list using JGSME so you can reload them after patching.

Are you joking ? :hmmm:

No joke
 

The mod file names are the same ones used by Ubisoft, since they are replacements. The patch uses the same names so an overwrite happens.

I used JGSME to unload all mods (after printing my mod list) and then reloaded each mod.

I'm back to what I had, almost. There are some slight differences to figure out, mostly visual I hope. :ping:

Rather than printing a mod list and reactivating each mod manually, why not just use the Save Mod Profile and Load Mod Profile functions under the Tasks pop-up menu in JSGME? Easier and not as prone to make mistakes as I am. :) Especially with 88 (Count 'em!) active mods!

A patch after almost 4 years of silence? I don't think so.

Show us this new patch download link so I can stop laughing:har::haha:! There has been nothing newer than 1.2.

Laugh?
 

Perhaps. I guess I wasn't at the 1.2 level, since it was the 1.2 patch. No idea then why it suddenly updated. Anyway, I thought I was doing a favor for a few of the newer players, to alert folks.

If you are already at V1.2, bloody good for you!!! :/\\!! :/\\!! :/\\!!

Too bad 1.2 is garbage.

Ah ha
 

I figured out how it patched me up.

I have been playing "offline" for many months, since I don't do multiplayer. I think that on this occasion Ubisoft saw my update level when they updated their Ubisoft launcher. Anyway, it announced an update was available and I said go ahead.

Whether it was a 'new' patch or not was the only 'error' in my post. It was new to me. It would be new to anyone else who, like me, was playing offline all the time.

Fact remains true, the patching will overwrite installed mod files whatever the version level.
I didn't know JGSME had a feature to help so I learned with this experience. I will go back to sleep now, in offline mode. :dead:

Yes, may be was only a usual Uplay or launcher update which is normal
