The DVD is easier to work with, but if you've got the Uboat Missions version of Steam, you've got all you need. It's not as persnickety as the SH5 or SH3 versions, but in ALL cases, you cannot install the program in the Program Files (x86) directory and use any form of any mods. It's just a "Windows" thing. Steam has its own "security" and "protection" stuff, so after you mod the game, you can no longer use the Steam utilities to check your game for errors, since it will interpret the mod changes as bad files also, but at least it's something you do, and not something done behind your back with no warning or recourse to change... I've got the DVD version of SH4, but I have the Steam versions of SH3 and SH5. SH5 in Steam is by far the most difficult to deal with, but even still, it can be wrangled to your will...
