Hi Fifi
Your Uplay account should not be a problem for you to keep it.

I would suggest that you make a copy of your SH5 saved games folder found in C:\Documents\SH5

Because the game launcher links to your Uplay account you also need to uninstall the game launcher in the Control Panel Program and Features this will be under Ubisoft or Uplay.

Because you have now made a copy of your SH5 games folder when you uninstall your STEAM SH5 game you can uninstall your saved games as well if you are asked.
This will remove the existing SH5 folder which will be replaced by your dvd install.

Make sure that there are no Ubisoft folders showing in the C:\Progam Files (x86) directory.
You do not want anything left behind that relates to STEAM with SH5.

Use the custom DVD installation to select German language and you can install the game on any drive.

If you do not want the default Game launcher installed in C:\Progam Files (x86) directory then you can install this one on any drive.

If you see an error regarding Uplay and no internet connection then use the ESC key and launch your game after updating from the SH5.exe.

When the game is installed open the SH5 games folder you saved and copy and paste the contents into the new SH5 saved game folder.
