So - you've downloaded the patcher. Inside should be the .exe patcher file and it's settings file, the .s5p file. Unextract them somewhere safe, maybe whatever folder you store downloaded mods in before adding them to the JSGME mod folder (that's what I do).

Make a backup copy of your SH5.exe in your C/Ubisoft/Silent Hunter 5 and move it somewhere safe.

Run the exe patcher. It will ask you for a settings file. Point it at the .s5p file that came with the patcher.

Then it will ask for the exe to patch. Point it at your C/Ubisoft/SilentHunter5/SilentHunter5.exe, or wherever your file is installed.

A window will open with expandable text menus for each 'patch option' (the first is the hydrophone fix, the rest alterations to map/TAI colours that you may prefer). Simply select the option you want from the list and double click where it says 'disabled'. The option should become 'enabled' (or words to that effect) and that's it - you're done!

Simple as that Shout up if you need any more help!

Orpheus, I have tried following your instructions above, but whenever
I run the Exe patcher it just opens up an empty box on my desktop and doesnt ask for a settings file or any of the other things you mention.
Any ideas what Im doing wrong ?

Ah, I suppose I should have actually said 'run the .exe patcher and select 'Open' from the file menu in that window. Then it will ask you for the settings file, and then the SH5 .exe file. My bad.

The 'backup SH5.exe' option is in that menu as well. Hope that helps!

Thanks Orpheus, I will give it a try

I used the patcher and it worked beautiful. Thx TDW . For curiousity I downloaded a hex edit (the one obelix used where he showed search funtion) and all the changes were there .
But ..Sonar use..(sigh)..I use it on merchs . They don t seem to react on it. but how is it with multiple ships? anyone know? no matter where I point it reads the same ship. am I pinging the one he s reporting? I tried it out in friendly waters but he kept changing report wich was closest. Sometimes he chose a target much further away. pinging was definatly same ship.

BUT (Heres the essence)
how can I know wich of multiple ships I ping in enemy waters where I cant verify with scope?
wouldn t it be better since I have to be on station that I ping where I point the hydrOphone?

Update your game to v1.2.0 and then use TDW generic patcher...
