The Wolves of Steel: Bugs, glitches and issues thread

[RevReese]

Hello,
I have just installed SH5 and thought i would try WoS mod.
I have a clean unmodded copy at 1.20
Windows 10 x64 8GB RAM GTX1050


I installed the mod correctly with no errors, pointing it at my copied install (F:\Silent Hunter 5 Wolves of Steel) and it installed the mod no problem.
I then installed the update, again no errors or anything.
Finally I click the sh5.exe within the modded copy of the game and it simply loads the vanilla game and Uplay.


I have tried this twice now from a fresh reinstall, and the same thing happens every time.


No updated splash screen or anything to show the mod is installed.


Can i not use this mod on a separate copy of the game? i wanted to keep a vanilla copy pristine in case i wanted to go back to it for some reason.


I read on here someone else had the same issue and was told it was because he had not followed step 1 (which i have done and correctly told the mod where to install).

Can anyone help me get this mod working as it sounds excellent but right now i am just thinking of uninstalling it and going back to SH3!


Thank you for your time and i apologise in advance if this turns out to be some foolish action on my part! (which it probably is!).

Backup SH5 folder before install modpack.
Just delete the folder with the modpack and copy backup to it place when you'll want to go back to vanilla.

SH5 and TWoS do not support multiple game installations. Make a clean SH5 installation , backup your stock game files if you wish, install TWoS a according to installinstructions
and happy hunting!

That's what i figured in the end after multiple tries! Backed up the stock game just in case and am now playing TWoS no problem!


Thanks!
