I just migrated from Steam version to another version. I ended up buying a downloaded copy of game from amazon. I uninstalled the Steam game, but left the Ubisoft launcher there. After I installed new version of game, I launched game and it launched Steam version and wanted to installed that version since its not installed.
Since it was a new game, I had to go into Ubisoft launcher and activate the new game. Once I did that two versions of the game showed up and I click on right version. The game loaded up fine and I when into SH5 game directory and found updater and updated game to 1.2.
You probably want to run the non-Steam version of the game if you can, that way you can apply the TDW Generic Patcher to it.
Thing is I didn't try to delete Ubisoft or any save caches and everything worked fine for me. I do get my old game saves because the game syncs up with Ubisoft, but it doesn't really bother me. I won't click on them.
Anyways thats my outcome.
