Leaving the Community and Uninstalling Silent Hunter 4 for Good

[Jeff-Groves]

That's easy to over come.
Once you patch the latest SH4.exe from Steam?
Save a copy. Then if they screw the pooch again?
Just paste in the saved version.

From my understanding, the Steam install needs both for the v1.5 "UBoat Missions Add-On" to function correctly

On that, with v1.4 & v1.5, can confirm.. that only 1 of them needs be downloaded... As it is, I have v1.5 & am using it with the following mods:

We dive at Dawn
Operation Monsun: Dark Waters v6
Subron 50
IJN
FotRS-U-EN(v1.39)+Nippon Maru

& All work.. though I will admit, a couple still need a bit of TLC to better them...

Namely, WdaD, Op. Monsun, & IJN... but despite that, function...

The only difference between them is that 1.4 is U.S. Fleetboats only. v1.5 is where Ubi added in the ability to run certain Uboats, instead of only skippering U.S. Fleetboats in the Pacific Theater of Operations.

As most already know, for the most part... that mods for SH4, HAVE to be carefully looked at, to know which version they Will work with or WON'T work with.

Will admit, some do not come with read me's.. but.. in most cases in the event that there is NOT a read me, included in the download... the thread for them will have that distinction in the main post to them. Unless that mod has been removed, for whatever reasons... & is grabbed from somewhere else.

At least, that has been My experience thus far, to date.
