How to Use TDW GenericPatcher for Beginer

[7thSeal]

As safe measures for the new comers you might want to mention backing up those 5 files before patching them. I know its mentioned in other places but the question still gets asked.

Thanks for creating this documentation for TDW GenericPatcher and your work on charts. The TDW GenericPatcher has changed greatly in the last 10-20 versions.

It would be a great idea if you can ask TDW to add this help link to the bottom of post #1 of
[TEC] SH5.exe patches to fix bugs and add functionality

I informed TDW and he added your help link.

Hi, can anyone help with this? I've followed the guide here and keep getting this error message. I never used to get it early this year when I first used the patcher. I've reinstalled, tried on and offline, as administrator, patching directly to SH 5 .exe in the SH5 folder and to a copy elsewhere.

There is no other application using the SH5 .exe according to my task manager.

Hmmm, I was thinking along same lines but there's no Ubi, Uplay or SH5 process to kill. Same message, but I get a follow up message too which says it doesn't recognise the exe. The exe I'm using is from a fresh install patched to v1.2. It's a 4278 KB SH5 Application last modified 21/4/10 at 10:51

Not sure if it's relevant but the patch tells me I'm now playing SH5 Gold Edition, which is news to me but does it use another exe?

That's a very odd message because I can clearly see that the current value equals the old value Something is irai here...
