U-Play & SH5 problem

[Fubar2Niner]

Hi Kaleuns

Is anyone having a problem getting SH5 to work since the latest U-Play update? The problem I am getting is this;

Installed U-Play, downloaded and installed SH5;
Verified installed files;
Hit the play tab;
Intro rolls in windowed mode, intro ends, game doesn't run. Drop back to U-Play and play tab. Hit play tab again and the whole thing repeats add infinitum.

Uninstall the whole shebang, reinstall this time from disk, U-Play has to be downloaded (obviously) same thing as previous.

This is stock SH5 attempting to run on win7 64 bit. Game and U-Play installed outside C: and outside program files on a seperate drive. Also tried on c: and within program files, just for the hell of it. No dice either way

All drivers latest. The thing is, this used to run fine before the bloody update! Is there anyway to play this without Ubicraps useless U-Play software ? If not is there a solution other than waiting for Ubi to address yet another embarrasing Ubi balls up! I swear I will never buy another Ubi game, hmmm actually I said that just before buying The Division

Any and all help appreciated, FWIW skippers on Subsim.Com are having the same problem.

Best regards.
