I would appreciate a response to this. After years ago playing Silent Hunter 5 for a brief period via Steam, I have not had the program installed on my computer.
Tonight, on a new laptop that has never had it installed, I installed via steam and got the "unable to connect to Ubisoft service"
I then installed the most recent version of the Ubisoft Launcher, it is no longer called Uplay but it is the successor of that program.
It is now giving me an error message entitled "the launcher cannot be started directly" which reads "please start the game you want to play instead"
No amount of reinstalling any of the involved programs is fixing this. I have attempted to launch the game thru steam, thru Ubisort, and thru the game's exe. Everything results in that message.
WTF is going on here?
