Hi Fubar2Niner, I had the same trouble as did Martin from the facebook Subsim forum. I gave up and uninstalled SH5. I might reinstall if Ubisoft comes out with a patch that allows you to play offline without requiring a connection to Uplay.

Thanks mate, I'll give this a whirl w/end. If it works, I'll pass it on to HW3.

Best regards.

Followed your instructions, unfortunately when U-Play udates itself, it updates to the bloody useless version Consequently things are the same as my initial post. On a side note when the intro cut scene plays there is no sound, and you cannot exit, unless you use Task manager and run through the services list. Windows did pop an nividia driver error on first start.

I'm starting to wonder if this garbage has to use old drivers

BTW I am not using a Steam version, this is a Ubisoft DVD version. Don't know if that helps ??

On the verge of turning the disk into a coaster

Did I say how much I hate Ubi ??

Best regards.

I started a total reinstall and it worked on version 1.2. I am now in the process of installing TWoS, will update on the results.

Good news, I disabled;

"Display Scaling On High DPI Settings"

Under the SH5.exe compatibility settings.

At last I have full screen, sound and mouse. Got an options screen too No time to tweak tonight, so it looks like Saturday is going to be fun

@HW

Keep me updated on your progress please mate

Oh BTW did I say how much I love Ubi *cough, cough*

Best regards.

This could be very useful tip to remember...

Can you summarize once again symptoms you had so I can enlist them in TWoS "solving issues" documentation...
