So please help me if I'm wrong with my conclusion that this guy isn't using a modified sh5.exe

His 'style' of writing is a bit hard to read through, but he says in the same post:

Main problem to player without net connection , using no net crack is that game BLOCKING , MISSION BAR PROGRESS and we can't have our MISSIONS completed

I don't have that problem when I have no internet connection, I just get disconnected, never mind campaign progress not updating.

And to he says to test with:

yes without need of connection to the UBISOFTCKERS SERVERS (try with patch no net)

And also:

FIRST mission works and can be completed even with NO NET PATCH

I don't think that's an official patch .

But just to be absolutely sure, I went through all of his instructions and changed everything he said to (boy was it tedious) and I started the game without an internet connection - it wouldn't start. So I plugged the cable in until it had started and then continued to follow the instructions (loading the save) then pulled the cable out. The game came up and said that I must be connected to the internet to play the game.

So, the instructions don't do anything to make the game work if you don't have an iternet connection, they only let you continue through the campaign if you already have a way to play without being connected (a cracked exe).

EDIT: Has anyone else with a legit version tried this?
