I had an issue with Steam corrupting my saves. I wouldn't get credit for the ships I sunk.

I bought two more copies, one a cd from ebay and another direct download from somewhere (maybe Amazon or Ubisoft, I forget) and installed them in their own folders (one I use for RFB and one for TMO) and never had a problem with saves.

Then again, another user said that he uses Steam and never had that problem.

So... basically maybe it will be fine for Steam, maybe it won't, but most people don't recommend Steam because Silent Hunter works best in it own folder. C:SH4 or wherever.

Steam forces you to install it under the steam sub folders and a lot of people report problems.

EDIT: But heck, for five bucks it may be worth a shot to try it with steam.
