I kind of hate that the first thing I do here is request help, but here I go.
So I bought Silent Hunter 3 and it works perfectly under wine and I've been having a blast. I decided to also get SH5 throught Steam, but I can't get it to work. As some of you know you can play a game for less than 2 hours or own it less than 2 weeks and still request a refund. I'm at 47 minutes and one week. The 47 minutes was spent trying to install uplay before I decided to install it seperatly from steam (to save that refund time). I've had no luck installing uplay after several hours of running stuff and reading.
The real question is can anyone get SH5 running under wine? Uplay seems to be a no starter so is there a way to play it without uplay? Am I missing something that should fix uplay? Should I find another way to buy it or is there a way to play SH5 under wine? Should I get my refund and buy the game a diffrent way? Thanks for the help!
