Silent Hunter 5, Steam or boxed version?
Ive had played the steam version of SH5 with mod's for almost week, and really like it, but now i have change to get my hands for real cheap retail version of SH5, but which is better for modding and etc?
I've had read that the retail version is better than steam version? or does it matter which to choose for nowadays? Should i just stay in the steam verion? is there any difference? Thnx! |

I have heard heaps of bad rumors (Probably the truth but I don't really pay much attention to the steam version due to the rumors) Like that the best of mods, like... I think TDW's Ui maybe? And most of us know this is arguably one of the best mods (Along with many more) that are must-haves.
But I have heard of heaps of complaint's about the steam version, as in many of the best mods not working with it. And usually, the Box version is about 30% cheaper. |

so the box versio is more mod "friedly" than steam version?
i got the TDW's Ui on my steam version and its seems to work just fine... at least i think... so perhaps i just continue playing my steam version and save my 5€? |

Box, definitely. Steam does not allow you to make changes to the .exe, which makes it impossible for you to to use mods and fixes such as this: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=181433
