That is correct, they all launch through Ubi Connect, but only Ubi version has to be run from the "Play" button there (which becomes an "Update" button so the update is forced on you), so it's the only one affected by their stupid update. I've also noticed that SH5 is suddenly available again on their storefront. It hasn't been sold by them for ages.

Hmm... I don't have Ubi version to try this but I wonder if launching through KSD would work to bypass "Play" button

No mate, it doesn't. I used to have the Ubi version and all it does is launch Ubi Connect to the game's loading screen with the "Update" button glaring back at you. I found a copy of the Collector's Edition on DVD so use that now instead

Really doesn't matter if I launch from Commander or Ubi Start screen. Both work fine!


Not sure why some of you are having problems. I'm generally not lucky when it comes to stuff like this!

most of the ones that having problems not posting back so we have no idea if they got it to work or if they remove mods and try to start with just TWoS
