Not sure what you mean by "library" but when I consult the Control Panel for Programs it lists Silent Hunter: Wolves of the Pacific Uboat Missions right down to the punctuation. Is it just me or does it seem strange that they wouldn't put the version number somewhere fairly prominent?

When you are logged into 'Steam's' game launcher... at the very top of the menu box that opens up... Library is like... the 2nd in the list from left to right... 3rd, if you count the 'back/forward arrows. (See attached snap shot w/ Library, circled in red...)



While in the launcher.. clicking on the top tab at the very tip top of the launcher tagged 'Steam', will open up a sub-menu & in it.. is the choice of selecting 'Settings'... in choosing that, opens up another sub-menu, & in that 1, is the option of choosing 'Downloads'.

Upon opening that up, is the sub-menu, yet again & from there, can select 'Contents ''Library'' ', which is where you can then select, just where Steam installs any & all games through them, to a spot in your C:\ Drive, (or other drive, for that matter... ) & you can tell it to set up 'that' library any where... but NOT in \Program files or \Program files (x86) avoiding them, like the plague...

This was what I meant, when I was referencing Library & that you could then direct it out from & away from \Program files or \Program files (x86)

Hopefully, this has helped... clear up your not being sure of what was meant by 'Library'...

As for seeing which version it is you have installed as to it being v1.4 or v1.5, perhaps propbeanie or Fifi.. or KaleunMarco, can inform you on that.. as for Me.. am drawing a blank on that aspect.

Other than knowing that 'Steam' does have both of those versions & that others can make the mistake of thinking they have v1.5, when instead that have v1.4 installed.

Understood, M/M. There is a library directory in data and that is what I thought you meant. I'll check it out!



I will say that I have implemented the suggestions on the options and other things that people have suggested and late last night I was able to start a simple career with the realism options turned down and sail around for a while.


In April of 1940, sent my boat through the English Channel from Wilhelmshaven towards Dover and only ran across one small warship and one Blenheim light bomber. Fairly light activity considering they had been at war for 9 months by then!


I'll see what today brings but I do want to express my appreciation to everyone who has been so helpful to a Newbie!

you are welcome!

word of advice: stay out of the English Channel, if you value your boat and crew.

Ahoy, rschilla...

No sweat & hopefully with all that info, were successful in getting rolling on skippering a uboat...

From your last post, am going to say that would be a yes...

Yeah, am gonna go with KaleunMarco on the suggestion of avoidance of travel through the English channel.

In the 1st... preceding 3-4 months... can skirt through there... but after that.. I would NOT recommend further travel through there. Not sure of the exact timing of it, but... between the English & the French.. before they were blitzkreiged into the Reichmarche (think I got that spelled right... basically, swallowed up by Germany, so as to make it where they had more access to the Atlantic & not have to sail 1/2 way round to engage in the war.. ) the channel got mined & with them knowing just where they had them placed. When France got swallowed up, by Germany.. the Brits, planted a ton of them further out to replace what the French had dropped prior to their 'capture' as it were, by Germany.

Any way, main point is.. forgo travel through the channel.. if you want to keep your uboat & not end up a casualty early on in the war...

As always...

Gute jagd, ihr Himmelhunde

Success, gentlemen.


Nice target selections when you find a convoy and it runs fairly smoothly. Some nice explosions when you hit a ship, too. Map is different but I'll adjust to it.


I did find the messageGE file and delete most of the dumbass historical messages which simply interrupt the flow of the game to no apparent point. I also turned off the voice chatter since I don't speak German and it was just an annoyance. The convoy intercept radiograms in French are easier to decipher!


Again, my sincere appreciation to everyone who offered advice. This thing looks like it will be a lot of fun.

Hello guys! I recently downloaded and installed Dark Waters mod v6. All seems to work ok except I cant display the RAOFB disc in the attack periscope.
I click on the icon at the top of the periscope (right side of the bearing) but nothing happen. In contrary the stadimeter icon works fine when I have a ship locked.
I have activated in JSME the OM_UJagd mod and the OM_Stock_RAOFB_UJagd as last one.

Any help?

welcome, sisfos.

send your JSGME config anyway. Tasks-Export List-To Clipboard

also, are you using Manual Targeting or Auto Targeting?

The Targeting mode thing did the trick! I always activated the manual targeting mode from the main menu options but I missed to check the gameplay options from the cabinet when I started a new campaign. When I checked from there, the manual targeting was unchecked although I have it checked from the main menu options. Activated from there, solve the problem with RAOBF.

Thanks you very much KaleunMarco!!

Anyone know how to say "passing thermal layer" in German?
