The Program Files folders are 'protected' by Windows, and as such, it will not allow any editing of what are perceived to be "system" files, such as anything with an ini or cfg extension, among others. You do not have a complete mod activation is the main trouble. Your mod list itself should be fine. What I would do is use JSGME and de-activate all of your mods. Then navigate into the Program Files (x86) folder and select the "Ubisoft" folder below it. Press and hold the <Ctrl> key while you press the <C> key, which will copy the folder and all below it. Now navigate to the root C:\ drive, and paste the folder and its contents with a <Ctrl><V> key combination. It will probably take a minute or several to copy everything over. This will leave the game in the Program Files (x86) folder for those times you want to play stock. But back to what is now hopefully a "C:\Ubisoft \Silent Hunter..." path, go into the downloads section here on SubSim, and get yourself MultiSH4. Put it inside your new "C:\Ubisoft \Silent Hunter..." folder and run it. In the little window it brings up, type a 3-character folder name for your Saves to go into, such a ODW or whatever yo want. The create yourself a desktop shortcut if you want, and point it to the new copy. Now activate the DW mods as you had them before, start the game, and make your settings match what you had. In theory, you should not have any more trouble...
Thank you, my game seems to work much better

However, I don't have my saves in the game...

Is there a way to get them back?

Because, as you can see, I'm relatively high enough in the game

ps: I downloaded and installed the "multiSH4 1.5" for SH4 uboat mission. Is this the right one?


In addition, when reinstalling my game automatically put these "GAMEPLAY SETTINGS"

1- Manual targeting system

2- map contact update

3- event camera

Can I turn them off? Because I played well in real difficulty...

And finally the game automatically set the "Measurement units to "Authentic".

Should I leave it or should I put on "Metric", because I read in the description of the Mod that @fifi advised to put on "Metric".

Cordially, Captain_PUJOL
