I tried swapping out the sh5.exe with a DVD version I found. No help. I kinda had a feeling this was going to happen.

Any input on how to resolve this would be most welcome.

Thanks,

It so turns out I missed a step. I thought I changed the desk top shortcut to point directly to the sh5 executable. Instead, it was asking Steam to launch the game. Deleted shortcut, created the correct one-- that problem solved.

The other item was going to Ubi (the mothership) and log out completely. I'm up and running.

Thanks for the input. Should have done the troubleshooting before I posted.
