Why do you bothering your selves to install SH5 without TDW generic patcher and bunch of others essential mods in the first place. Without them SH5 is piece of unusable software and completely unplayable. Much better solution is to play SH3 or SH4 in that case, trust me...

And I really don't understand all the problems regarding TDW patcher?! You only have to start the application and show it path to the main SH5 directory few times. How hard it can be?

If the small depth under keel icon in the bottom left corner is missing it probably means that you are not running version v1.2

See my tutorial Post #7 for 7-5-0

See my tutorial post #23 for 7-4-2

Amazingly, despite updating the game, and definitely checking that the main menu said 1.2, when i loaded the game through the dvd instead of uplay it updated to 1.2. so the depth under keel command is there now.

ill try the other mods again.

Once the game is installed the dvd has served its purpose and should be removed.

It only needs to be used again if you need to re-install the game.
