Ah, ok ... silly me. The problem was because i had named the copied SH5 exe file wrong. For some reason the patcher didn't recognize the file when i named it as "sh5.exe", i removed the ".exe" part and it all works now, 5 mins in and the mod already looks fantastic.
A big shout out to everyone that made this happen and the creator of the work-around for Steam users.
You guys are epic. Nice to see that fans of the game came together to create something as brilliant as TWoS when the devs simply couldn't give two ****s.
Screw Ubisoft, i hope they rot for what they did to SH5.
Outstanding work to everyone who made this happen though.
