Strictly speaking it depends on what files the patch alters and whether you have modded them.. In reality, yes you will need to remove all mods.

Personally what i plan to do is this since i have so many mods i rely on for enjoyement:

A Few days before the patch im going to uninstall all my mods. Then im going to copy the pre-patched SH5 folder to somewhere else. Then re-install my mods and keep playing.

Once the patch is out, i'll uninstall my mods... install the patch.. then use winmerge on the two SH5 folders (real one and backup) to see which files the patch changed.

If a mod doesn't mess with any changed files.. its safe to use. If it does, i'll have to use winmerge on it to see what's different and try to use my noggin' to merge the two... or wait for the author to update the mod.

Hey Gutted !

Thanks for the pointing on the winmerge thingy, that will be handy !

Thank you , I try to change the settings of the Shadows , is not easy but I was able to reduce a bit the blurred borders of those Dynamic Shadows , now I think the shadows have a better look

yeah if you use it on two folders (instead of two files) it will show you which files are "different" or "identical".

On the day of the patch i'll probably post a list of files that were changed by the patch.

Can anyone explain this part? Where is a bug in this mission?

[captainprid]

For me the one fix that MUST be done by Ubi is the serious problem with AI. Its all very well having a perfect working sub but when you don't get attacked by destroyers and ships are running aground it just gets really boring.......
Please, please sort this out

i agree, the biggest problem is AI and damage modeling

[Ablemaster]

Ive used SH5 but to be honest hardly ever use it now, lovely graphics wrapped up nicely in pretty bows but that dont make a game. The ai is so bad its rediculous, they attack with guns which have sniper sights on, then they trundle on their merry way and ignore me. If the ai is improved may get into it a bit more, i keep going back from time to time just in case i can have a good game but no chance. Using SH3 and 4 more, and keep hoping for SH5 to improve, its a real shame, could of been so much and who knows may be some day. But until that day will be keeping a wide berth and just picking at it, from time to time. Not expecting too much from the patch, would need a super patch to make this baby work like it should. Hope that when the patch comes out i find a lot of good reading and praise for it, heres hoping.
