Silent Hunter 2 GOG can't even get past the setup window.

I got it recently from GOG and it worked absolutely fine straight away.

I'm curious about modding though: is it harder to do than with the original disk version? I had no problems with heavily modding the Steam version of SH3, but I have no idea whether GOG is different in this respect.

Also I assumed it came with the latest patch but I guess not?

The GOG versions are basically unprotected vanilla versions updated to last official patches, use to be exceptions to the rule in some games, involving unnoficial patches etc. But it is not the case here. Specifically SH2 is patched to the official 1.1 update.

So Mods that only need the 1.1 patched vanilla cd should work fine from scratch. Anyway it is all to you installing other well known unnoficial patch from here, If you want, of course. The game will run fine.

I have some mods running with the game with no problem.

Just installed GOG SHII on Win10, works great so far. Didn't install QuickTime its optional, no need for it. It seems to only be used to view the intro movie

Hi, Otto... long time no sea (see what I did there?) and I hope you are well.

Gosh... I remember QuickTime

Well got SH3 installed with GWX, I see now why people don't fuss with SH2, its pretty primitive in comparison.
