Verified installed files;
Hit the play tab;
Intro rolls in windowed mode, intro ends, game doesn't run. Drop back to U-Play and play tab. Hit play tab again and the whole thing repeats add infinitum.
Uninstall the whole shebang, reinstall this time from disk, U-Play has to be downloaded (obviously) same thing as previous. 
This is stock SH5 attempting to run on win7 64 bit. Game and U-Play installed outside C: and outside program files on a seperate drive. Also tried on c: and within program files, just for the hell of it. No dice either way
All drivers latest. The thing is, this used to run fine before the bloody update! Is there anyway to play this without Ubicraps useless U-Play software ? If not is there a solution other than waiting for Ubi to address yet another embarrasing Ubi balls up! I swear I will never buy another Ubi game, hmmm actually I said that just before buying The Division
Any and all help appreciated, FWIW skippers on Subsim.Com are having the same problem.
Best regards.

Hi. I seem to be having the same problem. It all worked fine about a week ago. I tried to troubleshoot a MOD that wasn't loading (unrelated to my current issue), and uninstalled/re-installed clean SH5 via Steam, and Uplay. Ubisoft game launcher first would not install, and said it was incompatible with my operating system, then directed me to download a "compatible" version. That said the same exact thing, just a loop of malfunction. I found that loading the game launcher exe from the folder loaded the Ubisoft screen . I was able to login and see my games. I tried to run SH5, and have been having your exact same issue - loads movie (with sound), then exits with no error back to Ubisoft window.
WTF, over?
UPDATE: I think I may have found the problem. I noted an earlier post showing adjustment of compatibility of the sh5.exe file. I noted mine had been set to be compatible with Windows XP, and I use Win 10. I UNCHECKED that box. I also CHECKED run as administrator, and disable display scaling on high dpi. I don't think the latter 2 changes made the difference in sh5 loading, but it did improve the graphics and load time. UNchecking the compatibility box seems to have allowed the game to load, and resolve my main issue.
