Hey all! I was at last able to get Silent Hunter 4 working. Next question is there any patches that are recommended installing? Thanks for any info.

You should at least patch up to 1.4. You can also go with the add-on uboat missions which is commonly refered to as 1.5.

Many if the great mods wont work unless you are patch to at least 1.4. It is reccomended that you play the game unmodded to get a feel for it first. After that there are many great mods out there depending on what you want out of the game. The big super mods are RFB (Real Fleet Boat) and TMO ( Trigger Marua Overhaul)
RFB is all about increasing the realism while TMO make some realism/gameplay improvements and add some nice eye candy.
There is also RSRD (Run Silent Run Deep) Which makes some nice adjustments to the campaign layers for more realism.

For nice eye candy and sound try Environmental Effects or Pacific Environments and ROW Sound v9.

Just do a little reading over in the mods workshop on the proper way to install mods and make sure what you use is compatible.

1. Install patch 1.4 or get the U-boat addon
2. Play the vanialla version for some time, to get an idea of the basegame.
3. Try out the bigger mods.

You could get some of the radio mods though

Which patches should be installed??

Hi to all, new to this game. I have just bought the original and there are no updates to it.
I see that there are 4 patches. Do you have to install all of them,,, or will just installing 1.4 fix all the previous bugs that 1.2, 1.3 fixed? Thanks for the help.

Welcome to Subsim!

You just need the last patch 1.4. It includes all previous corrections.
