Second thoughts on purchasing SH5

If you decide to buy, don't buy it from steam.
I purchased a key from g2a.com for $5.50, put the key into the uplay client and downloaded sh5 from the uplay client.

As was mentioned, if you play SH5, then don't buy the steam version. Buy it direct download from Amazon or something. It's usually like $10.

You have to mod it to be playable. Wolves of Steel megamod is very good, but I find the game still to be very flaky. I end up having to save game like every 5 minutes because I CTD so often. If you can limit yourself to 256 time compression or maybe 512 then you might avoid CTD issues but personally I cannot play the game that slowly - it is maddening. But any higher than 256 and you risk CTD which I get all the time.

However the graphics are much much better than SH3.

SH3 will play on a windows 7 machine just fine. I recommend GWX 3.0 with it.

Sober has been recommending max x256 TC since first mods for SH5 so I really don't see anything new and strange here. SH5 low tolerance for high TC is a well know fact...

If you can't stand slow moving gameplay and "boring" patrols, you don't play modded SH5...Simple as that...
