UBI Launch

Have been playing for more than two years. For most that means countless installs, mod additions, mod updates and more restarts and more installs.
It was time to reinstall the OP Sys (w 8.1) All went smooth until SH 5.
UBI updated their start procedure again. Now when the game is launched you get a 3 min trailer and can not stop it unless you shut the computer down. The end of the trailer does not start the game. It never starts. Does not seem to matter if you are on line or not. Been working on it for two days. Any one have this problem?
If not I will attempt to get a hold of UBI. Sorry about the length, but this may just be enough to make me move on.
Thx
