[JimmyS1985]

Ok thanks for the heads up. I've modded lots of games in my time. I'll admit I'm not the best at it in that I've had trouble modding games that involved more than just double click the icon of the mod or put it in the correct folder.

Technically I do own SHIII (I got it for free in some deal for a different game, I forget how) and never played it. I like the visuals in SH5, and there is no game in my vast library of games, where I can sit back with a beer and just have some relaxing yet awesome fun, except for SH5. Even with the bugs I find myself very immersed in it, I get scared as all heck when my crewman yells out "Pressure hull damaged!" (I have the sound up high for voices in the game, so this really does kinda scare me unlike almost every other game I own) and at that moment in time I have no idea as to why. The all important hunt, and building up to the point you get to fire torpedos, just no game like this one.

Also true story, I once was heavily focusing on a destroyer after coming out of a British harbor at periscope depth. I was so heavily focused on the destroyer through my periscope, then all of a sudden, I hear the loud sound of propellers from INSIDE the sub. I thought "What the heck is that?" I rotate the periscope to the right, and I got the scariest moment I've ever gotten in all my video game life out of all the hundreds of video games I've played (which spans since 1988 when I was 3). A destroyer, LITERALLY 5 ft from my Periscope! (I had IRAI mod at the time). In other words I was dead in the water, the sea bed was right below my keel so I couldn't crash dive to hopefully get away from it either, and had to load up an old save.

I've been a member of this forum since SH5 was almost new. I am determined this time to get it working right. A correctly modded SH5 should be better than any of the other SH games so I'll update this thread as I run into more problems.

I bought the disc version so if there was a problem with the STEAM version, I could apply it to the disc. I now have the game installed in both steam and disc format, so I can mod both at the same time til I get one to work. STeam takes a hell of a lot longer to reinstall, and yes I was finding that only a reinstall would work with steam as simply installing JSGME was enough to make it CTD.
