I'm having issues running stock SH5 on a fresh PC build through Steam, when run it brings up a Ubisoft splash screen saying 'Checking for updates' which then fails to a screen saying 'A SERVICE IS UNAVAILABLE'.

I'll keep checking through the forum threads but thought it was worth asking if this was a known issue?

more than likely you are starting the game launch with Uplay.
Uplay is no longer supported.
search in this thread and you will find the solution that relates to Steam-purchased-license, Uconnect, and SH5.
before you swear at me for not giving you a definitive answer, i do not play SH5 but i know that a solution has been posted.

good luck, Herr Kaleun.

have you tried this method:
*1 I connect to steam
*2 I install my Silent hunter 5 I check the integrity of the files via steam
then I create a 'Backup' of the game in case there are problems when installing future mods....you'll see it's not luxury, you'll tell me thank you...lol
*3 I install UbisoftConnect I create an account or I log in if I already have it...
*4 I go to the UbisoftConnect options to adjust everything that needs to be
adjusted..namely give the path to your game so that it can be identified work...
*5 I check that the game works via steam start once but without playing it...by the way adjust your options via the in game option menu..then I stop the game
*6 I installed The Wolves of Steel v2.25 mods in accordance with the instructions provided in the Vecko PDF. I insist on this step which must be particularly respected, especially for steam..
I recommend that you disconnect from Steam when installing the mod
*7 I go to TWoS - OptionsFileEditorViewer in order to set what suits me in difficulty..
*8 I configure my soup of mods..pay attention to what each of them provides in game
read the documentation via PDF in the mod.. the same here I insist.. this avoids "stupid" questions
*9 I connect to Steam and UbisoftConnect I launch the game with the mods
*10 I play and I thank Vecko & Subsim...&Kal Maximus U669
I thank the modders who participated in this wonderful work...'if I mod my game'

I recommend that during any modification of the game or manipulation of folders or files, you be disconnected systematically, this is important...

Good luck in your work... take your time, there is no point in running otherwise you will be disappointed..
believe me your patience will be rewarded in game..
