AP514 · 03-03-19, 04:32 PM

I downloaded SH5 gold from Kinguin..and activeated it thru Ubisoft.

I can not seem to get it to work on my windows 10. (to clarify work as in actually work..i see trailer w/no sound then nothing)Also wanted to install TWO's but di not see some of the folders mentioned in the tutorials...

Did I buy the wrong version ? All files from uplay downloaded.the launcher and SH5 (subfolder)under the uplay launcher

Need some serious help...this forum is like a Maze......

Hi and Welcome Aboard!

Part of the problem with a service like Kinguin is that you don't know where the keys come from. The other part is that with a game from UBIsoft the key is only good once. If you buy a second-hand UBI game it almost certainly won't work. After reading your post I looked up Kinguin and they seem pretty shady to me. I wouldn't by anything from them. Also you might try contacting UBI directly to see if they might work something out.

SH5 is still pretty cheap from a lot of legitimate services, and is even available on Steam now. I'm not a big fan of Steam, but that's just me. If nobody else has it then they are a good way to go, and they have sales all the time when you get stuff really cheap.

Others will be along who can probably help more. However it works out, I hope you get many years of fun play with SH5.

Well, the key from Kinguin let me Dload directly from U-Play onto my computer.

Well, after hours of reading and watching the dam intro..I finally read something about Dpi in compatibility.I tested that and BAM all is working..full screen, sound, and get to the basic game menu.V1.2 Woot all this after only 3 hours...I am on my way now....Sigh.
Now to the next step.

Cool! I'm glad you're playing now.

well actually not yet...want to install Twos but do not have a Mod folder ? should the mod just be installed over the reg. SH5 data ? as installed in the SH5 and it will add/over write files as needed ?

This is so unclear..kind of like an early war TP....hit or miss

As long as your SH5 is version 1.2 then just install TWoS. It will install the mod folder automatically.
