mmmmmmhhhhh :hmmm:

OK, top right corner -- info:

Version 2.1.3 ?


top right corner -- settings:

"Allow UPlay to access Internet".....does that box have a tick?

Just put in your uplay name and password .

yes, uplay settings is allowed to connect automatically to internet...and sober, you have to put user name and password to log onto to uplay, so that would do nothing to solve the current issue...but i appreciate the help thus far! I hope i dont have to return SH5!!

also yes...my uplay version is 2.1.3

On the uplay settings (enable in game overlay for supported games ) i think i remember i had to untick it or tick it . Try that .

Sober, I tried your suggestion about ticking/unticking the "enable in-game overlay for supported game" I tried both ticking, then restarting then unticking and restarting. neither of them worked......

Thanks for the help everyone. Im sending SH5 back...maybe i will try and buy a download version

Ubisoft/Uplay is crap... I have never been able to get any Ubisoft game to work online/multiplayer. There netcode/servers stink. I have never had any problem with other games/sims online... just Ubisoft. They need to scrap there whole online system, employ some proper netcode writers and start again.

CD activation code
 

After a half hour of frustration rising to panic, I found the activation codes for the CD on the reverse side of the inside cover paper.

I would go to the Control Panel Programs and Features and uninstall the
Ubisoft/Uplay Game Launcher.
When uninstalling and before re-installing you need to use a free registry cleaner and re-boot your system before re-instaalling.

Install this genuine Game Launcher but not in the Program File (x86) directory

If you have a dvd and as long as it is new and not second hand then there is no reason why this should not be recognized by Uplay.
On creating a Uplay account you should get an email message.
To create an account you need.
A login name.
Password.
Part of the dvd Installation process automatically takes you to Uplay where you will be asked to enter the CD registration key which comes with each disc and is locked to it.
IIRC I do not see in your posts that you mention a CD key anywhere or having been asked for it.
