Hi BP
You can run any mods with STEAM but TDW,S Generic File Patcher, an essential SH5 application is incompatible with STEAM.
Any other SH5 version is compatible.

Make sure you uninstall STEAM SH5 correctly before downloading a new version.

I will try and see if I have uplay

IVO · 09-22-17, 06:42 PM

I just installed UPlay and now it works.
so now i will Mod it. I used to know how to do all this before but its been so long and my dissapointment with Cold Waters has drawn me back to Silent hunter. Cold Waters is promising as long as they improve it...

Hi IVO
The stock game is seriously bugged.
you really nee to ust the STEAM workaround so you can use TDW's Generic File Patcher and then use a Mega mod like TWOS or sobers

ok gang I have the same issue as IVO downloaded from steam 2 days ago, and it has never loaded, get the splash screen/movie then click on "load game"
it just sits there for eternity

i have the newest version
using "u play

the last two days has been spent going over all the provided info: but its gotten a bit over whelming

do i understand that this sim will not work correctly through steam

Try loading the game from the game launcher.

knucklebutt · 09-24-17, 04:12 PM

if " game launcher" is in steam/steam apps/common
/SH5/. then that also would not launch

also I check checked for corrupt files
my computer is a gaming computer I use for flight simulator
the initial sh5 loads. but clicking : load game nets nothing

I recollect it might be something to do with the SH5.exe and where the game is launched from.
Or is the SH5 .exe copied and pasted I cannot remember but I remeber seeing a post some while ago?
If the game is installed in C:\Program files (x86) this is a restricted directory.
All 32 bit games will automatically default there.

Looks like to create a new download folder I will need another hard drive because any folder I create in C Drive, steam kicks back saying "there is already a steam folder on the C drive". even thought I name butthole

Im patient. we will get this sorted out eventually"theres an answer for everything computer"

Hi k
Games and applications can be found in the Control Panels Pprogram and Features.
STEAM downloads will automatically default to the Program Files (x86) directory on your C drive.

You can uninstall the game and you will also find the Ubisoft/Uplay game launcher there as well.
Whether there is a STEAM application also there I cannot tell you.
It maybe that STEAM is integrated into the SH5 game rather than a separate entity?

Check for folders after any uninstalling on your C drive especially a Ubisoft folder in the Program Files (x86) directory.
Any other applications like JSGME will not be deleted in the uninstall so just delete the folder that any applications are in.

Run a registry cleaner after any installation and re-boot your system before installing anything.

New and re-installations should not be installed in the restricted directory Program Files (x86)

More information can be found in my tutorials.
