well, I redownloaded the game to see if that would help and same problem.....I kinda wish I didn't buy it from steam as it seems that all they can do is fail...so to members of the steam dev team or who ever.... I hope you choke on a chicken bone...

Hi Redwake
If you are new to SH5 look > > HERE << STEAM is not compatible with the essential application TDW’s Generic File Patcher
Steam Conversion Installation Instructions for SH5 Updated Version
Highly Recommended SH5 > The Wolves Of Steel Mega Mod > Includes KSDCommander And Working Enigma M4 Machine

Hi Redwake
Pressing the Esc key should remove that message.
Another option is to download a new game launcher.
The one one in my tutorials can be downloaded anywhere.
