Patch 1.5

Jazzy · 12-12-15, 11:59 AM

Hi
I've had to uninstall and reinstall steam and the all the games with it, however SH4 and the Uboat extension only have the 1.3 patch, despite the later being the main way to get the 1.5 patch.
Is there a way to fix this? Thanks

I would recheck your game.

The U-boat add on is the v1.5 patch. If you only have the 1.3 version of the game, there will be no U-boat missions.

I think I remember reading somewhere that the steam version reads 1.3 even though it's actually 1.5. I'll see if I can dig it up.

Ah, here's a way for you to confirm. In the patch notes for 1.4, there is this item "Screenshot names now contain the date they were taken on".

Take a screenshot with control+f11 (not the system built into steam but the one built into the game) and look into the game's install directory to find your screenshot.

If the file name looks something like "SH4Img@2015-12-12_02.43.50_345.bmp", then you are not running 1.3. I don't remember what the file name format was for pre-1.4 versions and I'm not going to install a fresh copy of the game just to find out.

Yep, it is definitely the 1.3 patch
Does anyone know how to get the 1.5 patch and the UBoat missions?
Thanks
