Irrespective of what mods to use and how they work you have a big problem beacause the essential application TDW's Generic File Patcher is not compatible with STEAM.

The only way around this problem:
Steam conversion:

Other type of Download or Dvd.
The game is broken and so to play SH5 successfully you need to be able to use a mega mod like The Wolves of Steel.

I did what it said, but now when I start sh5.exe, there are 4 dll files missing,what now?

Hi NL
No one has ever reported that problem before.
Try again with a clean Steam install.
Use a registry cleaner first before re-installing.

It's very interesting because the files are there now but the exe can't find them, double checked and they are where they are supposed to be.

Default Location C/Program filesx86/Steam/Steam Apps/Common/Silent Hunter ( Applies to most Steam Games )

Main Folder

If the Exe is not finding them there is a problem with the Registry, Administrator rights or possibly Antivirus Blocking Exe if it has been modified ( Very Common ) Disable AV and try again , right click on SH5.exe to change properties to run as Administrator if still problem persists check registry last

the path in registry is HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Ubisoft\Si lent Hunter 5\GameUpdate for Retail DVD Steam will be slightly different but thereabouts . I think it is HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Valve\Steam\Apps\

Click on Game update and it should show path

Check execpath ( 4th Down ) matches where you installed Silent Hunter if it does not edit the path as necessary
as a last resort you could verify the games cache using Steam but I don't think that is applicable in your situation.
