Hey everybody!

I resolved my issue through a crafty work around.

Basically I decided that I'd try to download the game via the uplay rather than installing it from the DVD.

The result? Well aside from having to manually run the Ubisoft patcher utility to update it to 1.2 everything is working perfectly.

At least as perfectly as unmodded SH5 can ever be expected to work !

Anyway, though I'm giddy as a schoolgirl to start installing all those lovely mods I'm going to jump off to bed but I thought I'd let you guys know about my workaround on the off chance that in the future this knowledge may help someone else.

Happy hunting!

Urgh, anybody fancy hitting their head against a metaphorical brick wall and enlightening me?

I've managed to get the majority of the mods working but I'm a bit confused as to how I actually get the scripts and new UI's working - it seems I have to move some files around/edit notepad in order to do it?

Moreover, how do I specify between the various potential UI's e.g. SHIII/IV/V?

I'm sure I've probably missed it but I've puzzled over the readmes to no avail - an idiot proof step by step walkthrough by some very kind veteran would be enormously appreciated!

Hey TDW

I really appreciate the rapid response.

First of all may I (I think reiterate?) my thanks to you and the other modders who have created something brilliant out of what was initially a very big disappointment.

I managed to work it out using some common sense (there was a very helpful youtube video!).

Turned out I had basically been an idiot and had added the "parent" UI folder rather than the correct one.

All is well that ends well - about to take my boat on her first patrol and then call it a night!
