I purchased and loaded SH5 a while ago when I was still playing SH4. Now I’ve gone back to SH5. I remember there was a big discussion about having to play SH5 while connected to the Internet, but Ubisoft finally caved in and allowed one to play without the Internet. At that time I reset the settings and played offline. Since then the interface has changed and I'm having a problem playing the game. I’ve gone to the top right of the Uplay screen under my username and clicked play offline. I then go to settings and am faced with the following choices:

-Enable cloud save synchronization for supported games
-Always start Uplay in offline mode
-Enable in-game overlay for supported games (Press Shift + F2 while on game to activate the overlay)
-Disable all in-game social notifications
-Allow Uplay to use a proxy connection to access the internet.

I want to play offline, but I’m confused as to which of these items should be checked to play in the offline mode. If I do not check any of them and click the big play button I get a dialog box with a warning telling me to either “Go to Uplay Settings” or "Launch Game (Not Recommended)."

So do I just Launch the game from here even though it’s not recommended or which of the Uplay settings to I check if I just want to play offline?

Thanks in advance for your help.
