I did a search, but couldn't find any info. Any help would be appreciated.
I recently reinstalled Silent Hunter 5. and an unable to get the game to play.

On the first try of playing the game, after a reboot, the game crashes to the desktop after the intro animation.
After the second-fourth try,I can select the first mission, which then loads, but immediately after the loading screen I receive the following error:
"The internet connection experiences problems and the current game session was saved. Please wait until the internet connection is restored or press OK button to return to the main menu."
My internet connection if fine. I receive the same error when I use Uplay to install the game or if I use the DVD to install the game.
I have tried using Uplay in Offline mode, ran Uplay and the Silent Hunter 5 EXE in compatibility mode with admin privileges.
All will no luck getting the game to run.
My system is running Windows 10.
Silent Hunter 5 ver 1.20
No mods....yet
