Default Game specific leftover files issues

SH5 Leftover Files issues:
Disable all mods and TDW patcher if used. Nothing should be left behind in "Your drive letter:\Silent Hunter 5\MODS\!BACKUP or "Your drive letter:\Silent Hunter 5\MODS\!INSTLOGS" folder. If there is something left in the !BACKUP folder, that is the path to follow and fix your problem.

The game is patched to version 1.2 which has file dates older than May 2010. Verify files at the root folder of Silent Hunter5, and at least the Silent Hunter5\data and all the data subfolders having dates older than May 2010.

Folder date changes give you a clue where to search first for files. See if any files are much newer than May 2010 in your stock game without mods and TDW patcher. Newer files than May 2010 are the ones that can cause a problem.


SH4 Leftover Files issues:
Disable all mods. Nothing should be left behind in "Your drive letter:\Silent Hunter 4\MODS\!BACKUP or "Your drive letter:\Silent Hunter 4\MODS\!INSTLOGS" folder. If there is something left in the !BACKUP folder, that is the path to follow and fix your problem.

SH4 Wolves of the Pacific:
Can someone PM me with the date information I need? The game is patched to version 1.4 which has file dates older than ????. Verify files at the root folder of Silent Hunter4, and at least the Silent Hunter4\data and all the data subfolders having dates older than ????.

Folder date changes give you a clue where to search first for files. See if any files are much newer than ???? in your stock game without mods. Newer files than ???? are the ones that can cause a problem.

SH4 U-boat Missions:
The game is patched to version 1.5 which has file dates older than Dec 2007. Verify files at the root folder of Silent Hunter4, and at least the Silent Hunter4\data and all the data subfolders having dates older than Dec 2007.

Folder date changes give you a clue where to search first for files. See if any files are much newer than December 2007 in your stock game without mods. Newer files than December 2007 are the ones that can cause a problem.


SH3 Leftover Files issues:
Can someone PM me with the date information I need?
Does anyone have Silent Hunter 3 version 1.3b (or whatever the latest version is)? If so, please disable all mods, then look around in the root folder and data folder and data subfolders. I need the latest file dates (month and year is good) as a reference point for JSGME issues.

IIRC, GWX 3.0 installer overwites stock files permanently which I have installed.
