The 2 files TDWFileUtils and TDWUtils are diffrent to the ones found in the NewUIs_TDC_7_1_0_ByTheDarkWraith . What this means , i have no idea .

So it is

I would install the patcher after the Ui mod.
TDWfileutils.dll is new in the pather than the UI - even v7_2_1

patcher 10740 = TDWfileutils verion 1.0.8.0
UI 7_2_1_0= TDWfileutils verion 1.0.6.0

patcher 10740 = TDWfileutils verion 1.0.8.0 <---------
UI 7_2_1_0= TDWfileutils verion 1.0.6.0

So the one listed in the first post Trevally is the one above right. Sorry if some of my latest questions have been asked, I have decided to give SH5 a
go again after putting it aside for a bit and want to get things right.

Sorry - not sure what you are asking

If you follow tha step in the first post - it will show how to use TDWs patcher and make your own mod file for it. This way you can move it in and out of the game easy.

When you install it - add it last to your list

Sorry I'll try again. Is this the latest version of his patcher: patcher 10740 = TDWfileutils verion 1.0.8.0

Thanks for your help Trevally

Edit: before starting, see post 2 about backup files

Ensure you are using v1.2 of SH5 (check by looking at the top right in the main menu)

Step1 - get the patcher
Download the newest version from here:-
LINK

Save it to your desktop
Extract with 7zip (or other) to desktop




Step2 - make a mod
open the folder that was created by unzipping the download


copy these files from C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5
***these MUST be stock files (21/04/2010)****
SH5.exe
SHSim.act
SHCollisions.act
Paste them into your folder


Step3 - add to jsgme
Take the folder you have just made and place it into your MODS folder:-
C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5\MODS
Run jsgme
right click on the patcher folder and select "Explore"


Step4 - use the patcher
double click on "GenericPacter" to open it
select file - open
Point it to - C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5\MODS\TDWpatchv1.067


select "TDW_SH5_Patches.s5p" and open
point it to the folder

say ok to all the warnings


right click and enable all the patches you want to use


Do the same with "TDW_SHCollisions_Patch.s5p" and "TDW_SHSim_Patch.s5p"


Step5 - install
use jsgme as normall


When a new verion comes along (as they are sure to do) - just unistall and delete the folder and make a new one following the steps above.

Thats all folks


Or not quite all - please also see this vid from 9thinfSword

After a number of problems I've now got the patcher working!

I did a clean install and for some reason it hadn't auto-updated. Did the manual update to 1.2 and now all is good....

Indeed, I have the very same problem.
Made a clean install of SH5, followed instructions just to get this message

This warning/error screen says only one thing - the game has not been updated to version 1.2

What do you see in the upper right corner in the main menu?
