SH5 Multiple Installs

U2222 · 08-13-11, 02:36 AM

Sure this must have been explained before but cannot find info.
Is there a MultiSH5 type mod out there or how do I install and run multiple installs of the game?

Thanks for any advice

I'm sure it can be done. Sorry I can't help you more U2222.

Keep checking back here someone more knowing more about SH5 will have an answer and a link.

Im pretty certain it can be done by changing file names etc but do not know which ones.
Hoping there is a quick and easy way to play installs with different mod setups.

I ask to UBISOFT customer support about a similar question and this was the answer .....

Hello , thank you very very much, I followed the steps you told me to do and finally I was able to install again my STANDARD version of Silent Hunter 5, I have a question , I just bought the COLLECTOR edition of Silent Hunter 5, apparently this SH5 collector edition have a few extra skins for the submarines that the standard Silent Hunter 5 game dont have, can you tell me please if I can install BOTH versions of Silent Hunter 5 ( standard and collector edition versions ) in my computer and therefore have BOTH versions of SH5 at the same time in my computer ?, thank you

Kind regards

Unfortunately it will not be possible to install both versions of the game on one computer, as the Collector edition will update the existing installation of the game. However as a means of testing you can try to install the game using different installation folder for your version of the game, and then you should be able to use both versions of the game.

If you have any further queries or issues please do not hesitate to contact us again and we will assist you further.

Anyone found more info on running multiple SH5 installs, and what works if anything? There's no Multi SH5 app like there is for SH3, or can that one be converted to work with SH5?

I been thinking of it lately and have one idea, but not sure it'll work the way I want it too.

Install to a different Folder other than Ubisoft... say Games or another folder you choose to make.

Install SH5 and patch it to v1.2. Rename it if need be to Silent Hunter 5 2nd Install and the same for it's shortcut, JSGME, and make a new My Documents/SH 5 also renamed SH5 2nd Install.

Would the Saves for the Silent Hunter 5 2nd Install go to this new renamed folder? If not, then I guess you'd have to cut and save your saved game files to someplace else and switch back and forth between the installed versions you're running.
