I just need anybody with a steam account, some patience and an evening to help me out and try to reproduce my results.

Thanks Sjizzle, it would be great if you mention you must use the relevant (FX Update or not) torpedo mod to avoid circling torps.

It is possible to get this to work with Steam, but you have to get the non-steam SH5.exe from inside the ubi 1.02 patch file.

@sirrawrsalot I got a mscomctl.ocx DllRegisterServer failed error so I was unable to get my grubby paws on SH5.exe without assistance from you kind gents. Now cheerfully patched, modded and ready to play the real SH5.

Hello,

Got myself in a spot of bother here...
I bought the game on steam a few days ago... realised it was broken and came here. Downloaded some great mods and was really enjoying my career but the more I read the forums the more I realised I needed to use TDW patcher to fix so many bugs. So I deleted my steam version and bought another Uplay copy which tried to make me install it through steam....

got it installed without steam and used TDW patcher. Looks like lots of good stuff in the patcher .
Used JSGME to reinstall the mods I had been using for days with no CTDs and game won't run. CTD, CTD, CTD can't run a single historical mission.

So I removed all the mods and tried with just TDW patched- CTD. So I pasted the copies of the 6 files that Sjillze's guide for using the TDW patcher says to back up. But when I try to run the game there are still changes made by TDW patcher and it CTD.

How do I undo TDW patcher? It doesn't use JSGME like all the other mods?
I tried reinstalling the game but now Uplay is making me download it again. unfortunately I have to pay by the gig .

Is there a way to remove TDW patcher if you are getting CTD after using it?

Are all the files that TDW patcher changes in the main Silent Hunter folder? It seems the 7 files is an incomplete list

bowfin · 12-29-14, 01:01 AM

Well now I find that the patcher has backups of the files 9 files not 7.

EnvSim.s5p

and

kernel.s5p

So I guess these two were also modified and need be added to the list.

THEBERBSTER · 12-29-14, 04:07 PM

The 9 file patcher started with version 164

the decks awash icon is not there unfortunately. I read that this has to be activated in the NEWUI options. How to do it? Can't find this in the forum.

THX alot

Perfect, thank you so much

Just for those people with weaker computers...If you are experiencing random CTDs, try to turn off the patch for increase rendering distance of units or try to lower distance on 60km...It helped me and I'm running WoS on Dual Core with 4GB RAM...

RoflCopter4 · 06-05-15, 09:25 PM

Does anyone happen to have backups of SHCollisions.act and SHSim.act? I forgot to make any and am now kinda screwed. If nobody has any I'll likely have to reinstall the game.
