Idea for fixing magnetic detonator

That means what it was expecting to see in the memory address (actually file location) the patch file specifies does not equal either the 'as designed' values or the patch. Are you sure you are patched to v1.2?

I patched but it still says the same thing! Although I have a question. I did at one point set the default type of program to open act files to word-pad. Would that have any effect? If so how do I reset it to default?

Sounds like your act file you are trying to patch is already patched or is corrupt. Load a backup copy of it into the \Silent Hunter 5 folder and try patching it again

I have noticed something similar. It`s looks like the SH5.exe is already patched - without Hex Editor. Clear installation (the second one or next no matter). I can open the patcher and change the "Falses" to "True" values. But I can`t edit with Hex editor - problem above.
Is it possible that a previous installation and modification of Hex Editor had an influence?
Yes, I think - yes! I can`t describe this - sorry, my English. Maybe this screens.
1. Picture - Clear SH5.exe - patched to 1.2

2. Hex is showing value 75! I didn`t touch this.

3. Closed the Hex Editor. Open the Patcher. I changed these values False to True. And have a look on the Hex value! Changed to 74 now!

Also, if it was made to re-install the game do not need to re-use Hex Editor - if you've done this before. Just patch the SH5.exe via patcher
