I can't get SH5 with WOS to run

Greetings Subsimmers.

I can't get SH5 with the Wolves of Steel Modpack to run.

Here's the steps I took:

1.
Bought SH5 on Steam (it was on sale for $3.63, a good price). Did a standard download to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Silent Hunter 5. That was the first time I have installed it, so it is a clean installation.

2.
patched a 4G patch to the Sh5 Application file (in the Program Files (x86) location)

3.
Made sure SH5 was patched to version 1.2

4.
Downloaded and installed Wolves of Steel 2.2 SH5 Expansion Pack v.2.2.17 Full (the lastest version I could find). It was a standard installation, I followed all of the steps, I think, and I installed it in the proper place (see step 1 above)

5. I tried to run it through Steam, and was prompted through a few more things, which I did. I also tried to run it with the SH5 application (in the SH5 location in Program Files (x86)).

Here's the results I got, no matter how I tried to start the game:

1.
A "Ubisoft Checking for update" little screen appears. Then:

2.
I get a message,

"A SERVICE IS UNAVAILABLE
a Ubisoft service is unavailable at the moment. Please try again later."

Does anybody know how I can fix this? I am only interesting in single player, and don't care about multiplayer. Hopefully, the fix doesn't turn out to be a complicated mess. Thanks for any help anyone can give me!
