Unfortunately I can't get SH5 to run. When I start the exe file the game updater (gu.exe) starts but can't get connection to the update server. The game stops and get's back to desktop. Can I switch that off? The FireWall has SH5 listed in the Exceptions, so that SHOULD be no problem (running Win XP).

it's a shame that someone is STILL selling SH4 1.2. sinful. they should be metaphorically shot. as i indicated in my previous email, i thought the offer was SH4 1.5 UBM.

i am no expert with SH5 however XP should not be the problem. i know that the user MUST have an active internet connection and MUST use UPlay to play the game.

i messed with this a few years ago because i bought 3-4-5 in close order and thought i would give it shot, however i developed an instant dislike for the game. while the graphics are dramatically better than SH4 1.5 the game play was all first person. THAT coupled with the must-use-an-internet-tracking-program were enough for me to de-install the entire mess.

you might want to take your SH5 questions to the SH5 forum. You are in an SH4 forum. there is some cross-pollination but you will probably be better off posing SH5 questions there than here.
