where do i find info on SH5 servers? are they up or down???

[Taurolas]

Hi Folks, been a fan of the SH series for a fair few years now and after playing on a mates SH5 thought what the hell i'll buy it (with reservations aka the DRM) and see what can be done with it, afterall there are some of the best modders around on these forums :up:.. got the game, installed it this morning and it will not load :damn: all i get is the updating laucher on the screen and it then exits.

Is there a link on the Subsim forum to where you can see the state of the Ubi-servers?

it did patch this morning but like i say it hasnt gone anywhere since, if there are other issues that i need to be made aware of can you let me know.

Cheers

Hi Sober,

As far as i'm aware i've created an account on uplay and the ubisoft site when the game installed. however now that you mention it i'm wondering why i havent been asked for my keycode... any ideas?

[THE_MASK]

The key code is only for multiplayer i think . I dont play multiplayer . Maybe its a firewall thing .

Hi Sober,

I've tried just about everything i can think of... i disabled the router and firewalls, which i might add i have no problems with other online games. but it still wont go past the updating launcher popup box.

buggered if i know what the problem is, thanks for your replies.

Maybe the game launcher is bugged. Try and reinstall it from the DVD

Hi McBeck, I also tried re-installing after removing anything remotely assocciated with SH5, still no joy.

*** Update, I gave up and installed SH5 my other OS (which i never use for gaming) and it now works, seems the original install on my primary OS has caused a glitch and wont run no matter how many times i re-install it.

look in C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\Ubisoft Game Launcher at the launcher logs, it may give some clues.
Or when you re-install make sure that the game launcher gets completely deleted as well.

Thanks guys for the info, i'll recheck and double check everything and if it all looks clean i'll try re-installing on my primary OS and see if it works.

cheers :up:
