From the official site FAQ:
Quote:
Is there an "off-line" option?
No. The added services to the game (unlimited installs, online storage of saved games and the fact that you don’t need the game disc to play) require you to have an online connection while playing the game.

From the game specs and the packaging:
Unless Ubi has changed something that is not reflected in official game specs and marketing, you must maintain a constant internet connection to play the game. The savegames backup has indeed been hyped by Ubi as a presumably invaluable "feature" that the constant connection allows for - but it is not the reason for it, which is DRM pure and simple.
AFAIK if there is currently a way to play SH5 without a constant internet connection, it would be through illegal means only (and discussing it here would not be looked kindly upon to say the least).
