Did Ubisoft just deactivate all german copies of SH5?

There are versions of SH5 with a swastika in it, if that's what you mean.

Which versions? Because as far as I'm aware (going by the swastika mods made for the game on day one), it isn't in either the US or EU clients. It would be nice if someone could confirm that though.

I thought the US version had them in. But yeah

answers would be nice. I can see Ubi getting their knickers in a twist with all their versions - why they had to have so many is beyond me. If it wasn't in any version, then it couldn't have made its way into the wrong version.

My country has no laws against it, and indeed many of the WW2 games localised for Britain have the swastika included. I was under the impression that the game was one client fits all, and thus did not have the historical markings.

As far as I know, there's a Europe version, which has no swastikas, regardless of their legality in whichever country, then there's a US version which has content unknown, but historically had had swastikas (SH3 UK version has no swastikas). Then there's probably an asiapac version.

I think Ubi have 'localised' versions for Europe as a whole, rather than individual countries. UK SH5 has no swastikas in.

Sounds about right, lazy buggers.

Apart from the illegal symbology, is the Collector's Edition manual actually useful?

The UK version has a printed manual and it's more useful than the PDF version, as the graphics are higher resolution - the PDF is just awfully blurry. The actual 'content' is the same, so not really useful no

. No idea what the strategy guide contains... I heard it's not so good.
