Second thoughts on purchasing SH5

Ahoy fellow submariners.

I rarely post but usually pour over the forums garnering information and advice. However today I thought I'd go to STEAM and purchase SH5. But after reading all the horror stories about bugs, glitches and UbiSoft/UbiPlay letting you play...then asking for a new account, then locking you out I'm thinking of asking for a transfer to a nice, quiet base on shore instead of heading out to sea.

Has UbiSoft corrected any of the problems mentioned here in the forums or will it become something that makes me regret going against my better judgement?
Or can I just download it, play the in game campaign (I don't do multiplayer) and hope for the best? Downloading mods is like trying to read Sanskrit. Although I consider myself computer savvy I am not too confident in messing with the programming. I'd rather take my chances on moving on a convoy surrounded by a large fleet of escorts. The odds are crazy but at least understandable to me.

I do enjoy SH3 although with Windows 7 and a great Alienware Area 51 system I can no longer play it. SH4 runs just peachy but I miss my UBoat. Some much appreciated advice from you old salts would be welcome.

Be safe and happy hunting!
