@Katze, Trevally.
Hey - thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
Apparently I was stupid enough to think that UPlay would do the job of patching the game to the latest version and so I blatantly overlooked the version number in the top right screen
![gah! RT again!](images/smilies/bangrt2.gif)
Problem was that I wasn´t able to update the game via the downloaded file - but it worked with the GameUpdater which is located in the game directory ( x:\Silent Hunter V\Support\GameUpdater\gu.exe )
I think I´ll give it a shot for a more realistic aproach this time as I´ve played Silent Hunter most of the times just for fun.
So I´m gonna use most of sobers mod list including the UI mods.
Thanks again for the help and thanks to all the modders out there who are doing a really great job - keep up the good work!
