Default Questions About SH-5

Hi ya Fellas!

Just a few things to clear up please.

1. I like to have a disk for my games. Is there a DVD version of SH-5 Gold? I see the disk version of normal SH-5 but I have not found gold yet. What is in the gold version that isn't in the normal version? Is is worth it?

1b. Along the same lines...if I buy a download of SH-5 Gold (not steam) can I save it to a dvd so I can reinstall as much as I want?

2. How is the damage control system in SH-5? Has it been improved since SH-3 (I hope so!).

Hi Lanzfield

With a standard Dvd installed when you start your game Uplay shows it now as the Gold Edition.

You should be able to download the game as many times as you want as long as the previous download has been uninstalled.

Yes damage control has been improved in SH5 through using the R.S.D. mod.

Thanks.

So any disk (dvd/cd) that I buy now will be the gold version?

Sounds good.

I cannot say what happens with the download version.

Just to confirm with the dvd installation when Uplay logs you in and shows you your installed game you will now see you have the Gold Edition.

Uh-oh...

What is U-Play, if I may ask?

Is it required to run SH-5?

Hi Lanzfield

Uplay is your mandatory internet connection to run SH5.

The dvd installation when finished will open the Uplay website.

You will need a email address and password.

When you log in to your new Uplay account you will be asked to enter your dvd code that came with the disc.

Your email address password and dvd code locks the three together forever.

In other words you will not be able to use that particular dvd with any other setup.

When your SH5.exe starts it opens up Uplay and if you have saved your details your game will show and you will be able to start it.
