Of course it can. TDW Generic patcher is crucial for SH5...That's a big oversight.

Be more aggressive !

Which step exactly you can not understand? You know how to install the game or what JSGME actually is and what it does?
If you paraphrase in details your game/mod install procedure maybe I would be able to direct you what did you do wrong...

I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I've read and followed every thread and tutorial but still no avail. Frustrated to say the least

That's a mistake No.1, you should follow only instructions and tips found in this thread and main mod package...

If you have positive rating (2 or more) you should be offered type VIIC somewhere at the beginning of your next campaign chapter (WA or MN). If your rating is negative then dont expect any sub offers...You can check your curent rating in KSD Commander.

Hi there Vecko,

I have had weird error while installing TDW generic pathcer (the 43, or 49 click stage):
after some clicks window pops up saying that some of pathces cant be opened as it is used by another program (SH5 was closed adn I dont use uplay anyway)...
so Iv just ignored it and started it again only to see all 9 patches are up... and so far all is working very nice..

p.s. that error msg popd up every time I did fresh install and never caused me trouble...

Just heads up, next time Im gonna SS it and will show you here.

cheers

It is the one for the SH5.exe, number 4 of the 9 if I remember right.

Sorry guys after rereading and using my big dumb noodle I finally got it going. Old silent hunter 3 user gwx 3.0. New to sh5. I paid over 40 bucks for this thing and I couldn't get it to work. It works now thanks for feed back. Turns out I had only moved the wos 1.06 file and not it's contents to my sh5 main folder. Duh moment I guess.

Everything works perfectly! No CTD. After intense fighting in the bay with two cargo ships destroyed, can I confirm that WoS works perfectly!

thsoe two Sh5.exe and SHSim.act were the two patch files that TDW generic pathcher couldnt open as they were used by other prog (problem I get during every install of twos )

[THEBERBSTER]

Hi KZ
The most likely reason IMO why those 2 patches do not work is because 7 of the patches you correctly selected the SH5 folder and the other 2 you made mistakes by not selecting the SH5 folder correctly.
All 9 patches must be pointed to the SH5 folder and this means 43 ok's when it is done correctly and you will see all 9 then displayed.
Unless you sort out the generic patcher you are going to experience more ctd's and an unplayable game.

You have to this right mate...There should be no errors or anything similar.
Try to restart your PC before you do executable patching again.

No, that was not the case, sadly.
Im not new to game modding btw... but the thing that worries me is that after 3 reinstalss, I keep getting same error with generic file patcher! kind of "file is used by another program" and I dont know which as I dont use uplay... SH5 is closed during the process ofc... so Ill go for another reinstall right now and check if that happens again!
