Thank you, I have a lot to read through now lol, I'm on win 10, I'll see what I can do, but on a side note I heard that sh5 needs Internet to play the campaign is thus true?

With regards to Silent Hunter 5, Initially, one had to have a constant internet connection to play. This was because of the Use of DRM's incorporated on the DVD disc.. Now, you need an internet connection to initially set up Silent Hunter 5 and thereafter, you can play SH5 without an internet connection, against the computer. I'm sure if you search the forums here, you will get a better explanation of things. I just don't have any experience with steam applications or downloaded versions of these Simulations. I just know some of our Subsim members had issues with them.

By the way Redwake, Forum member Rockin Robbins has done extensive work with Ubunto / Linux operating system applications. One of the " test beds " has been with Silent Hunter 4. Rockin Robbins is one of our better resident experts on these applications, especially Silent Hunter 4. He knows these applications and SH4 better than most, certainly better than I do. Rockin Robbins should also be able to Answer any questions with regards to these games and Windows 10. My simulations are not on any windows 10 platforms.

I don't know why I didn't mention him in my earlier post except it was an early morning for me and I hadn't had my coffee yet. lol.

I mentioned a few forum members like Rockin Robbins and others and knowing them as I do, I'm sure they would help you or any other forum member as best they can.


Let us know how things work out for you.


Regards.

It may seem like a lot but it will be worth the time. Hopefully, in the end, you will be able to enjoy your " Sims " the way you like.

I have seen posts of Forum members discussing SH5 and the mega mod, Wolves of steel expansion pack.

Check that out as well if you have the chance.

This link above gives you an Idea of what the Wolves of Steel Expansion pack is all about. This is from vdr1981.


Enjoy.

I'll check that out, still irritating that steam has an out of date version of Sh4, is that lazyin ess on their part or is it actually a thing.
