I had the steam version as well. I got lucky though and received a $10 credit from Gamefly. So I picked up a free SH5 Gold from them. The Gamefly pc download does work with the patcher by the way. Now all I have to do is figure out how to enable everything correctly.

I just made a different uplay account and logged into that one, otherwise it was trying to start my steam version. Just be aware once you use your key to unlock it, it is tied to that new account forever. So you have to be logged into that specific account to play your new SH5.

But what is if you put the folder of the cd version in the steam folder and delete the folder of the steamversion. so you can start the dvd version in stean and in your old uplay account. does this work?

Without hijacking this thread any further, my apologies. The only way I can explain is to say "Do NOT associate your new SH5 with steam in any way." Just do as I stated in post #2590 and all will be well.

No.. it won't work.. these are two completely different games (I mean .exe)..
You have to uninstall steam version before you'll install regular PC version..

SnipersHunter · 07-25-13, 02:33 PM

ok i think i buy it on amazon now. Stoli did you already removed your steamversion ^^?

The code I wrote for overriding the active camera's zoom level has one neat little feature with it: variable zoom

I remember seeing old photographs and videos where a single eye piece device was used that had variable zoom by lengthening/shortening the length of the device. What is this thing called? Should I add it to the game

I did a complete uninstall of my steam version. You still have to make a new uplay account or uplay will still try to start your steam version even if it's uninstalled. You also have to be logged into that new account when you play.

If memory serves me well, this is how the large majority of zoom lenses used to work before they introduced fixed lenght zoom lenses. The old system is still in use, but I don't think it got any special name.

Talking about your idea, if I got it right you want to introduce some sort of "progressive" zooming (i.e. the scopes being able to to accept any magnification level between their max/min values). I don't think 40's German optics had such a capability, but to be sure I can do some search on the web...

I think it was simply called a telephoto or zoom lens and yes it would be awesome. I think you are talking about the free camera for external views and such because I dont think periscopes used it back then, am I correct?

Not for the scopes (though it would be cool if they did have this feature so I can add it

) but a completely new 'screen' - like the Sextant. This screen would show like the Sextant but no sextant window or anything just a view and you would be able to increase/decrease zoom as wanted between some min/max value thus simulating this device I was referring to earlier. Of course you would have to be surfaced in order to use it.
