Have you had a chance to investigate the duplicate file?

Yes, some files are unique to each campaign but a lot of the files a duplicates across all Campaigns.

Making changes to just Total_Germany.pj I really didn't notice much of a performance improvement but after changing all Campaigns, to me, there was a notable improvement in Game Load Time, Save Game Load Time and Virtual Memory Usage.
It may just be me and I haven't actually timed this but I do monitor Virtual Memory Usage in Task Manager because every time I start Silent Hunter 5.
I set CPU Priority to Real Time for SH5.exe and OSI.exe to help ensure I am credited for tonnage sunk.
Then because I have Multiple Monitors I select the Performance Tab(Displays CPU and Virtual Memory Usage Performance) before switching back to SH5 and I can easily watch these performance counters as game loads/plays.
There is also a Resource Monitor Button on the Performance Tab screen that allows you to drill a little deeper but is gear toward Disk Drive performance counters and what processes are accessing each hard drive.

Not going to get started on PerfMon (Performance Monitor) as it would need custom made counters to accurately monitor Silent Hunter 5 Game Performance. This works best when NetMon is installed/enabled on the client so PerMon can monitor from remote machine. That way the NetMon and PerfMon apps have little to no effect on the client being monitored.

Have you had a chance to investigate this?
Has anyone else investigated this?

Please Advise!

If you cant handle advanced workaround for steam users, then I think you should ask for refund and buy SH5 somewhere else ... TDW Generic Patcher is the essential application for SH5 and without it the game is pretty much broken, even when heavily modded...

I'm afraid not because the enigma simulator requires some scripts which are introduced only with SH5, but you should better ask SkyBaron in Enigma home thread...

Hey all!

I've installed this mod last night after a long break of SH5.
I followed the instructions to the letter, however when i'm in the campaign and spawn, the voicefiles keep playing and won't stop. It's been 60mins+ already. Any idea how to fix it?

Greetings from a Captain hearing voices(files).

EDIT: Seems i somehow fixed it.

Thank you for the info! I tried and failed to use the workaround for the steam copy. Re-installed the game and mod and will keep playing until I get another copy to do this properly. So far enigma won't work but, will keep going. Will pick up another copy so I can enjoy this mod fully :)

I'm not 100% sure but I think that enigma should work just fine even with steam. ..

SUCCESS!
 
Well, what a pain in the ... :) Checked out Amazon.com and Canadians can't purchase the digital download from the US... Checked out Amazon.ca and prices for Canadians is just stupid. Decided to purchase the digital download from GamersGate and got the Gold edition. After download, I saw the 1.2 patch came with it. After installing and making a new account with UBI, not taking any chances for failure..., I tried using the patch for the game, won't work lol. Okay found a new site http://www.gamepressure.com/download.asp?ID=27190 to see if I need 1.1 first, nope that didn't work either but, then I noticed they have a 1.2 patch for gold/collectors edition and tried that and it worked. So if anyone that has the gold or collectors edition, there is two different 1.2 patches for the game, pick the right one and all is good.
