How to Install SH5 (to latest specs.)

pandoraefretum · 10-27-13, 10:47 PM

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.

Good they activated it for me

)

Now I have installed JSGME (or whatever it's called) to the SH5 folder
Then I found "SH5 Mods Workshop" forum (this is where I should have gone 1st!)
I donated, and am downloading Sober_all_n_one28082.. (at snail pace, but never mind). I guess this will do the whole job for me, right?

Now I can't help noticing Volodya61 Mega mod... so which one ?
Fifi, Volodya or Sober ? Goodness knows how I'll ever learn what 50+ mods all do.

SH5 is the hardest game to install I have ever come across...
unless one can consider installing software a game in itself!?*!

You'd do best to read through the sticky's in the mods forum. If you download the sober all in one zip download, be aware that quite a few mods have been updated since .. as has his list as it can be found in the first sticky in the mods forum. His 1st post is ALWAYS leading.

Hang in there, and ask around if something is unclear

Thanks again to those who gave me pointers...

I am playing with UPlay.. but I don't think it's dragging me down anymore.

I tracked down all the mods and installed the mods according to MEP "sobers 1500 25102013".

An initial impression is favourable, but the external view stutters in response to my mouse, and is not smooth (i7 Radeon Win7 64bit 8Gb) and really annoying is the black screen I get with underwater external views... I want to see underwater !!

No doubt it will take me forever to learn this game.!
