Installing Mods on Steam Version

flyer102 · 04-30-16, 09:26 AM

Yes, I was stupid enough to get the Steam version of Silent Hunter 5.

This forces games to load up via Ubisoft which is a separate application that Steam.

So, is there anyway to install mods with the Steam Version because when I try installing JSGME onto SH5, I direct the path into steamapps/common/Silent Hunter 5. However, when I load mods with JSGME, they never show up ingame.

When I install mods on the Steam version of Silent Hunter 3 via JSGME, it works just fine.

So, is there a way for installing mods for Steam's SH5 so the game is playable.

Why are you still here?

How were you able to install the mods on the steam version? Currently trying to but having a nightmare...

Installing mod with the steam version is just the same as the nonsteam.
Only the dir location is different.

So far only one mod will not work with the steam game. TDWs exe patcher

You can install any individual mod with the Steam download.
What you cannot do is use TDW's Generic File Patcher.
Unless.

You install mods the same way as usual, its just that JSGME is installed into another path...

Just for my understanding (I already went through the process): A patched .exe, is this essential? Because 1000s of things have been fixed/enhanced by a patched sh5.exe? E.g. I read the hydrophone is practically unusable in the stock sh5.exe
