Any similar problems? Anyone?

Maybe the "Item that must not be mentioned" overwrote the Ubi launcher files, to prevent them from looking for the server, breaking the authentication. You have brought this upon youself by using illegal software. Maybe you should look for all ubisoft files and SH5 files and delete them, then reinstall SH5. if that doesnt work then reformat your HD and reinstall your operating system.

Edit.... (Hint) C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\Ubisoft Game Launcher
