How to Install SH5 (to latest specs.)

pandoraefretum · 10-27-13, 09:57 AM

Hi

I bought SH5 when it came out and shelved it.
Now I would like to install it on my newish Win7 64bit i7 PC.

This is my question; what's the quickest and easiest way to install it and add all the updates, upgrades, mods & mega-mods so I can have the best experience possible ?

Sorry if it's a basic question.. I can't find an updated (Oct 2013) install guide anywhere obvious. Thanks for any pointers.

Now where and how do I download Fifi's Mod 2 ?
Do I need JGSME ?

I really don't know anything, sorry.

Welcome to the Subsim Community, again.

Fifi's modlist can be found on This link

I would recommend Sobers mod list, but this is based fully on my opinion.

Edit: you will need JSGME.
Can be found Here

If you need anymore help, the community will be here.

Thank you for this reply too
Right now I installed it and it patched and updated,
then in Ubisoft Uplay I was told my CD key is already in use by another account

It did previously ask me to change password on my account...
I find this an unfriendly start by Ubisoft...
I mean I have original versions of SH3 SH4 (x2) SH5 ..
Anyway we'll see if they answer my ticket.

Otherwise I'll give up and just focus on Command Modern Naval Air Ops.

Ugh, Uplay is such a pain to use, it's just a matter of time before it takes my game isn't it?

I hope they answer your ticket.

If you get it working I can link you and walk you through getting your game working to the best of my knowledge.

Check your PM.

I would recommend Sobers megamod based off my opinion, I like the contents, and it can be modified with your own mods to make it better.

And because i use it, I can help you with it.

Well, it's running and i am going after the Warspite.
On accelerated time I get half second lock ups then booted back into windows
on x1 speed I also just got booted out of the game...

I have to say the game was stunning for about 20 minutes..
33% Aft Flooding got my Sub almost vertical and I flipped over backwards once!!

I'll check the stability of my PC and report back...

pandoraefretum · 10-28-13, 09:44 PM

Well, I've got 4 other heavy simulations rock solid...
SH5 is the only one that boots me to desktop on a regular basis

Now, I do use Razor Game booster.. maybe I can have a look at that...
Does anyone have small locks that turn into half second locks.. (and only get worse) using x4 time ? I went with Sober's latest Mod list.

Thx for any help... I've got to get this thing working.!!!

Could you show me your list?
If it is too big for you rig, it may overload your hardware.
So show me your PC specs aswell.

I will help you to the best of my abilities.

I suggest cutting out mods you may not need or notice, my modlist is based of sobers but with many cut out.
