So I have to download and install allsorts of .exes & scripts and viewers just to be able to install a mod so I can get the game running somewhat correctly?? I've just spent two days trying to get the thing to load, as I was getting the Ubisoft service is not available error. Finally figured out how to get it running and now this?

Pff. Honestly, I don't think I will bother and just hit the uninstall button. I really loved SH2 & SH3 and put many, many hours into them over the years. It's such a shame that, even after all this time, this game is in such a sorry state.

Again, thanks for the welcome. Looks like you have a good community here, but until a new, working sub-sim arrives, I think SH will just have to be left as one of those memorable games from the past.

Such a shame.

Hi Brocky,
Welcome and give it the last chance with The Wolves of Steel AKA TWOS
I hated ubisoft for how they broke SH5 for several years till november 2015 when i tried TWOS.

You just need to have non-steam version of the game, update it to 1.2 by patch and install this mod by the first post on first page of this thread.
Its about 10-15 minutes for countless hours of huge fun.

Before i played moded SH4 and even before, i played vanilla SH3 and i can say this TWOS SH5 is best SH which we ever had. Most realistic ww2 sub sim.

Its just not like when you start to play some modern game, where everything leads you how to play, you need to learn what to do and unfortunately sometimes even what not to do, because UBIsoft did vanilla state very bad and some bugs will be there forever, no mather its moded or not. But you can avoid that, its just about such a things like not saving under water, not overwriting savegame (delete it manualy and then you can save with the same name and so..). Everything is on the first page.

When i started to play this, i was not sure i want to learn such a things, but i did in few days and i can say i have much more fun, then i had with sh3 now.

Just give it a chance
