Direct2Drive SH4 and mods?

[Paul Roberts]

Hi all,

I've heard a rumor (I can't remember where) that the download version of SH4 is not compatible with modding. Is this true? It seems unlikely, especially since I've been very happily playing my D2D version of SH3 with GWX, but I wanted to ask before I bought the game via download.

Can someone confirm?

Thanks!

According my experience at these moment everything works almost fine.
'Almost' means that there are a lot of bugs that mods didnt sovle and they have to be fixed by Ubi Dev team in next patches.

I have patched game to 1.1
and I have REF_favorite to taste mod 1.5
and keyboard function mod
and jimmimadrids_HUd mod

My recommendation is use JSGME last version and read :-) readme.txt (instruction for mods installation). Subsim guys who usually do this job are really responsible guys and they made perfect instructions for each mod.

Sincerely VK

No worries, I have the DD version and all the mods work fine.
I can't say for sure but Im guessing that the only diff between versions
is the media format.

Cheers

And mainly, the copy protection method.

D2D version here and no issues with the half dozen mods I'm using so far. The only thing that concerns me with a download version is the patching arrangements made between the publisher and the digital distributor. In the case of Stalker, there was a long delay getting the first patch to D2D. However, in the case of SH4 we got the same patch for all versions. I don't know if this will continue, but if they make separate patch versions the next go-around I hope they do it like with SH3 and release them all on the official game website as well as the Ubi support site.
