Is it possible to have two versions of SH5 on one computer,[separate drives]. Programme only recognises my original through Uplay, but I would like to have another installed, how does one get round the 'Uplay' factor please??

My understanding is only one game can be played because the game save default is in my documents SH 5. There is no way to change the file name or location. Playing another will write over the first saved game. I don't think you can get around uplay.

Thanks Buddy! I was afraid that might be the case.

I think someone made an app for this. I tried finding it with no luck. It was quite awhile back. Whether it still works today I don't know.

If you played under a differnt user logon ID on your computer you would have your own documents folder for that ID and able to support another SH5 saved game folder. I haven't tried this, but I think it would work.

The only problem I see with this idea is that when you go to load the game into the new user profile you need the cd key. Unless you buy a separate cd key you can't use one key for two different installs.

I am going to look for that app that I saw ( or thought I saw

) after. It is on an older computer I think.

Maybe your thinking of Multi -SH Install

No it was more SH5 Switch, something like that. I did a search here and
did not find it.

Found it on an external HD I have. It is called SH5 Install Switch
