Steam x Uplay

CaptDudu · 06-04-14, 10:53 AM

Maybe.. just maybe a stupid question

Is the Uplay version different from the Steam version of the game as to .exe file for issues related to mods?

Yes

The steam sh5.exe uses a form of self-modifying code copy protection that 'unpacks' the code when the executable is run

UPlay does not, get the Uplay version!

Nice... so I didn't trash $5 bucks just minutes ago... now.. when I press the "play" button on the steam version , it opens Uplay so when I purchased just now the Uplay version and installed the Uplay app, SH5 was already there... should I uninstall it and do a fresh install from Uplay? im confused now...

The 'Steam' download will not allow you to use TDW's Generic File Patcher.

Other downloads like Uplay will.

Thank you all, I think the best thing I do is to delete the steam version, keeping the saved game files (praying it will work

) and re-install the game trough Uplay.
