Thanks, I already checked that thread. Apparently all the most important bug fixing mods are not available for me. One that I especially dislike is the hydrophone bug where I hear the ship clearly, but I can't indicate it on the sheet of paper so that sonar guy can actually track it and give me updates.

Yes, I wrote "the one limitation", but I should have mentioned that it is actually a HUGE one

My suggestion is to buy a retail version of the game. By now it is very cheap (5 to 10 bucks), and surely worth the small extra investment

That I will do, but if I understand correctly it will come with Uplay and there I already have one SH5 registered. I wander will the second one become friends with the first one.

No, you would be given a new serial code that you should use for activating a new account

Can't I use it on an old account to register second key that would overwrite the old one? Would be more convenient.

I don't know, but I suggest you to be careful: if you use your serial key in the wrong manner, you risk being told that "This CD-Key has been used already" on any later attempt
