Silent Hunter 4 has several versions out there. The most common disk available for quite a while was v1.3. This is the version that Steam sells. Version 1.4 fixed some things, and left others, but was just a "patch" to be applied. This does not work with the Steam version of the game. The Uboats Add-on was v1.5, which was rolled into the Gold Edition and was the last release of Silent Hunter 4: Wolves of the Pacific. You don't have to play the Uboats, but it is the latest update of the game. Most of the mods are written for it... You can see what version you have by right-clicking on the SH4.exe file and choosing Properties and clicking on the Details tab. You can also see it in the lower right-hand part of the game screen on the Main Menu.
