Mods

[AssortedBurrito]

OK, Here's my gripe, all I keep reading throughout this forum is mods fix this and mods fix that. And that its a great game because of how modable it is, well thats all well and good, but if it doesn't run without the mods THAT is a problem. Modding should be used to create a better experience based on a persons preference, not relied upon to make a game, a game that I know I spent a good deal of money on, simply function! That is not the responsibility of modders, its the responsibility of those who create, market, and sell these games. I see many "ifs" when it comes to more patches. I for one will not be purchasing any more titles from UBI if they can't fix a product that they created. I loved this series so much, but when I can't get through a patrol without my game crashing, then I really find it hard to even start the game up, I'd rather go play SH4 again.

Do you use any mods in SH4 AssortedBurrito.

I've found SH5 OK without the mods - so long as you don't enhance the torpedo range/speed. If you do, the TDC no longer works properly. Besides, I don't think that adds anything to the game.

I had a handful of crashes before I installed my first mod. I've had a couple since. I save frequently - though make sure you enable local saves.

I, too, have reinstalled SH4 with the relevant mods. I enjoyed that game and probably would have kept it on my machine except that I had a hard drive crash and lost everything. After I installed a RAID 1 configuration (so I would be able to recover in the future), I never bothered to reinstall SH4. I've rectified that.

However, although it's installed, I'm still playing SH5. One thing I'm very interested in is whether or not the wolfpack attack I witnessed was a one-off event or is like calling in airstrikes. If one can call wolfpacks, that adds an extra dimension to the game.
