Installation problems

Just to clarify again, im stuck at the uplay message .....

"a Uplay service is not availible right now, please try again later"

Also i run many games onine, but never had problems connecting to anything in the past.

I reckon your best bet would be to await a reply from uplay atm.

Try downloading "TDW_GenericPatcher_v_1_0_168_0" and installing. There are a number of threads on this forum on how to install this mod correctly. Try

and

This mod has the provision to disable Uplay launcher and Orbit listener in a test mode while you wait for Uplay to provide a resolution for your problem.
That way at least you can play SH5 while waiting. I suggest using the Snapshot from "The Wolves of Steel" megamod to simplify the options available with the Generic patcher.

Got it fixed finally, turns out you have to activate uplay first through the installation CD, with the register button, then install the game, then after that you can log into the uplay launcher. Simply having a uplay pre registered launcher is not enough.

Good one
I still recommend installing TDW_GenericPatcher_v_1_0_168_0 as it repairs a lot of bugs inherent with the original game, and most current mods you may want to install assume that your version of SH5 is patched.
