A question about the Steam version and the Generic Patcher

AADrcw · 11-08-15, 03:01 PM

I do apologize if this question has been answered somewhere in the forum but my countless searches yielded no results.

I have the Steam version of SH5. I have taken a very long break (playing DCS World) and Decided to come back and experience some of the new mods and what not for SH5.

I went to install the Wolves of Steel mega mod and I am having a issue with the Generic Patcher. I followed the steps to get a non Steam exe listed elsewhere on this forum and got the exe but when I run the patcher I am getting a error when it gets to patching the exe saying that it can't access the file because it is in use by another process. I have tried everything and no matter what I do it always says that. It will let me continue with patching everything else but I have no way to tell if the exe was actually patched.

Am I stuck on not being able to use any of the mods that require the generic patcher or am I doing something wrong? Is that error normal?

If there is no longer a work around can I buy the digital download version from Amazon? Would that be the same as the disc version?

Thanks for any help!
