Go on playing, but I must warn you that the stock game has a lot of shortcommings, especially the torpedo handling and mission system.
TWoS improves the game in all aspects (hundreds of fixes and add-ons), so IMHO it's worth loading this mod immediately.

If things do not work (stock game), then I advice you not losing much time to 'understand' what's wrong, that's futile. The general picture is: the stock game is very arcadish; TWoS turns the game in a realistic experience with almost no bugs, or none I'm aware of.
The downside of TWoS is: the gameplay is not easy and there are a lot of 'special instructions' to follow in order to make the mod and game work ok, so when you are ready for it you need to read the instructions and follow them 'to the letter'.

With Vecko's new installer it's pretty easy

Yes, very easy now, but that's not what I meant, what I meant to say is that *playing* TWoS is not a piece of cake...Surely not for everyone, and surely not without re-reading all the instructions in the TWoS thread (see mod forum > TWoS thread > Gameplay Tips).

I would not start to learn with the basic game, jump to WoS right now, without Real Navigation if you want, but this is just improved stock game, no need to learn Something before using the Mod.

So I'm guessing I'd need to do a complete uninstall of SH5 then reinstall before adding Wolves of Steel. If so what's the best way to make a complete uninstall of SH5?

By the way thanks to the above replies for advice it's much appreciated.

Hi SurfnSea3


A clean start is generally best, uninstall with standard game uninstaller via Windows Control Panel or third party app like 10bit [ Free ]. Saved game folder in My Documents/SH5 should be deleted too.

Run Free Registry Cleaner https://filehippo.com/download_ccleaner/

Uplay does not need removing

Installing Wolves of Steel is easier than any other Silent hunter 5 Mod by far and there is an abundance of guides on how to use Manual TDC, Real Navigation Etc. There is still some range with difficulty levels set it to how suits you best. Wolves of Steel has several optional add ons which can ease the learning curve or make it more realistic

The Crew Management in Silent Hunter 5 is far less involved and immersive compared to SH3/4 , Overuse can have negative impact. I personally don't use it much other than using up promotion points prioritizing on Sound Guy/Gunner/Torps/ in that order . The use of occasional burst of speed or moral boost can be helpful in a crisis. I would not worry about it it too much tho.

WOLVES OF STEEL

[SurfnSea3]

I get the following error when running the Steam Conversion Tool: There is an issue with the SH5 REGKEY
I've followed the instructions given above and also followed the PDF that comes with installing WoS.

I am currently trying to figure out why the error occured. Any thoughts about why would be greatly appreciated.
