My internet connection has been quite spotty the last two weeks, which coincidentally matches up nicely with the SNOWPOCALYPSE I and II that Washington DC just got hit with (30~ inches of snow!!) and I get a lot of LOST CONNECTION to internet, and then five seconds later, the intertubes work again.

I assume this is due to all the snow causing line outages, not all of comcasts network is IIRC underground.

So I would keep getting that "MAIN MENU" screen A LOT.

This removes SH5 from a "buy in six months" game (due to Type VII only and lack of modding to go past '43) to none at all.

I'm willing to put up with one time only internet activication each time you install the game -- but to have a 100% reliable intertube connection for every single moment of gameplay???
