Thanks for your very informative help Simon :up:

Sorry for the delayed response - life, you know :/\\!!:/\\!!

I have good news for anyone buying the game be it on Steam, be it U-play or digital download.
I will soon release a mod that guarantees the campaign advancement in any case. You will be able to play the stock campaign with the tonnage bar, without the tonnage bar, or load any working modlist you want, plus you can load OH2 campaign mod if you want and play with or without tonnage bar. In any case you will be able to progress through the campaign from start to end.
I'm doing the last mod testings and will publish it soon on Mediafire with exact instructions. While this mod will not eliminate the major stock game malfunctions, what it will do is to eliminate campaign related problems that make the game unplayable.

TWoS players can already do this now without the need of any special mod, the newest TWoS mod versions can be installed over a Steam SH5 game without problems. My mod just adds this functionality in a scenario without TWoS.

I don't know about other mods, but TWoS megamod works just fine with steam version (I use it).

All I can say is that I am using the Steam version and at least TWOS modpack works great for me, so I think some of the Steam issues have been worked out? At least I can say it does work now for TWOS.

rebuy
 

I own the dvd version and when I log into ubisoft its in my games list to download so why rebuy?

^Reported.

The DVD version will not work for you if you buy it second-hand, the game's key code is only valid for the first user which has logged in to Ubisoft. Ubisoft doesn't any longer support this game, you would need to open an account with U-Play and re-buy the game (*).


(*) If you were able to install game from DVD, then go in the Support folder and launch the executable here. It will connect you with U-Play (you need to be online!) and you can see if the game is in your account. If it's not you would have to re-buy it, using the game key code from DVD will not work if you have bought the DVD second-hand, even if the seller provides you with his account data.
But good news: if you were able to install the game, then go look in the thread link at the end of this post, and follow instructions in that thread (the response post where I start to say "There is another solution...")




All this means...

DO NOT buy second-hand SH5 DVDs. Instead, buy a digital download, or buy the Steam version and if you don't want to play TWoS, then go look in this thread what you can do (but I do not recoomend it to do, instead play TWoS which is the best mod.):
