open more tubes at the same time

[Perseus1990]

I have Steam version, no mods before OM.
The opening tubes should work in all submarines, or not?

I'm not sure of the Type II, but the IX should work the same as the VII...

As for the Steam version, which ends up having the same basic "Windows restrictions", do NOT install the game in the Program Files (x86) folder. Windows "protects" several folders on the computer, including all of the Windows folders, Program Files, Program Files (x86), Program Data, and a few others that I can't think of at the moment. Any changes made to those "protected" folders by means other than an "authorized" Windows interface will be rolled back by Windows, which in theory, will render them null and void. The problem lies in the fact that Windows doesn't roll back ALL of the files, only those of certain "protected" extensions. So you might get a partial "activation" of a mod like that, where JSGME places all the files like it should, and then Windows comes behind your back and puts all the original CFG and INI files back, leaving all of the DDS files alone.

Steam uses its own "install routine", so use the Steam app on your computer to re-do your install to a different folder, if necessary. THEBERBSTER has a thread

and I've done a screen capture of my Steam app, as dodougla mentions in the above #3 post / thread:

It doesn't matter what folder you use, just so long as it's out of those Windows protected folders. I used F:\ Games \ Steam \ ... - I use "dot dot dot" there to signify the Steam folder structure, which is rather long... The game is found under the "Common" folder somewhere under "Steam" there, as you're well aware, I'm sure...

Let us know if that is not the case, because you really should be able to have more than one tube open in OM...

Do you think i would buy the DVD version that could be better? I think the DVD version doesn't registration on steam.

The DVD is easier to work with, but if you've got the Uboat Missions version of Steam, you've got all you need. It's not as persnickety as the SH5 or SH3 versions, but in ALL cases, you cannot install the program in the Program Files (x86) directory and use any form of any mods. It's just a "Windows" thing. Steam has its own "security" and "protection" stuff, so after you mod the game, you can no longer use the Steam utilities to check your game for errors, since it will interpret the mod changes as bad files also, but at least it's something you do, and not something done behind your back with no warning or recourse to change... I've got the DVD version of SH4, but I have the Steam versions of SH3 and SH5. SH5 in Steam is by far the most difficult to deal with, but even still, it can be wrangled to your will...
