SUBSIM Radio Room Forums - Internet connection problems with UPlay.

Hey guys, so i've been playing tutorials for 3 days and feel just about ready to jump in to my first SH5 campaign (WOS).

BUT, every time i try to start campaign it says internet connection error e.t.c and only allows me to exit back to the menu. I read it's possible to put UPlay into offline mode. But again, when i try to open it up in game (shift-f2) i can't. So i'm stuck here not being able to start any campaign. Now i've checked the firewall to allow both through so i'm 90% sure the problem must be with UPplay

Have any of you guys had this problem? any ideas how to solve it or bypass UPlay?

Thanks again everyone.
