Long time Sh 4 player.I prefer the PTO but enjoyed Op Monsun for ATO.Been a few months since SH 5 has been out.How is it with the patch and mods? Major CTD issues and flaws been worked out yet? Advise waiting some more to get the game? (hopefully DRM) will be gone. etc Thanks in advance.

I have never had a ctd since march . It is 100% stable if you have a system to run it . With mods its just as playable as SH3/4 .

All good here, modding at full steam ahead

I also enjoy it for what it [currently] is. With love and care from the modders, it will be a worthy successor to the previous games. The system requirements are steep, but if your machine can handle it, it is definitely worth adding to your collection.

With both patches and a nice selection of mods, SH5 is terrific fun and completely playable!

I still have some small, frustrating technical issues because I am using a CPU and graphics card that are just barely able to handle the game. This will change in the near future...Christmas? Oh yeah!

I totally Agree

, I never had a CTD with SH5, SH5 just need some modifications and tweaks to fit your own personal tastes

and the specific way you want to play your SH5 simulator

Personally speaking, I'm looking forward to a supermod but doubt it'll be in the short or even medium term unless Ubi set back to working on the game and release a final patch.

The longer the delay the less chance of this happening I'm afraid.

Obviously, a super mod like GWX would be a Godsend for SH5.

But, while we wait, a nice interim collection mod might be nice. A lot of new players are overwhelmed by the many fine and, sometimes, overlapping mods currently available. Some veteran players, who have a nice fat list of mods, that all work together well, could publish a list of their mods on this forum. It would be especially helpful if this player could describe the overall purpose or philosophy for their particular selection of mods: say, Most Realistic Graphics, More Aggressive Gameplay, More Immersive Environment, More Intuitive User Interface, etc.

My two cents.

Get off the GWX kick. I'm glad to see nothing of the likes of it here in SH5 and hope it stays that way

Im with Ducimus, but I also want more units and enviromental stuff.

better merchies, planes and some PT boats would be nice.
Privateer and co seem to be making some good progress with GR2 export/imports, hopefully they can open the 3d flood gates.

blahblah.. sh5 sucks

1) takes too much space

2) memory hog (((crunchycrunchy))
..takes too long to load up + lags because all the retardedly large textures/files all loaded at once.

3) the missions/gameplay isn't worth the effort
there are far better games out there to play
while we all wait for the meteor.

stick to sh3 + gwx
