I agree 100% with you on that.

I've got a few games that only play thru Steam, not my idea of fun but what can ya do. It seems that more and more it's becoming a necessary evil with no way out. I now know why a lot of people only run those console games. Not my idea of good gaming but that's just me I guess. I'll stay with PCs as long as I'm able.

Edit: Just checked and SH5 isn't even in the Library list now. WTF! I've done nothing to delete it from my computer or Steam. Other games I used to play, but no longer do are still there. It's like SH5 wasn't even installed.

...on a side note, DRM was removed a long time ago......

You can play without internet connection, you only need it once when installing / registering.....

UBI removes DRM

SH5 is still saddled with DRM. All they removed is the constant online connection requirement. You still have to have an initial login through Uplay. That's the DRM, they just finally got around to adding an Offline mode.

Hello
I've had a problem with steam and I believe I've solved it renaming the file clientregistry.blob in the steam file. The problem occurs when the steam client updates during the loading of a game. You have en explanation here...

Hope this helps.

I gave up and I'm going to reinstall SH5. At least I'll be able to get TDW's mods installed correctly so they work properly.

Thanks for the help guys.

I've gottten SH5 reinstalled. A few mods added so far with more to come asap. I still have my saves which is the one and only good thing about Steam. One bad thing was I couldn't find SH5 on my HDD without doing a search. Once found I could add JSGME and my mod folder back in. A shortcut was maded so the next time I know exactly where it is. LOL

Now to test it and see if all is well.
