Anyone found more info on running multiple SH5 installs, and what works if anything? There's no Multi SH5 app like there is for SH3, or can that one be converted to work with SH5?

I been thinking of it lately and have one idea, but not sure it'll work the way I want it too.

Install to a different Folder other than Ubisoft... say Games or another folder you choose to make.

Install SH5 and patch it to v1.2. Rename it if need be to Silent Hunter 5 2nd Install and the same for it's shortcut, JSGME, and make a new My Documents/SH 5 also renamed SH5 2nd Install.

Would the Saves for the Silent Hunter 5 2nd Install go to this new renamed folder? If not, then I guess you'd have to cut and save your saved game files to someplace else and switch back and forth between the installed versions you're running.
