Silent Hunter 5, steam, uplay and Linux

Thanks for the link, but the 3rd post in that thread says that the fixes that are in the patch are in the Wine 1.5 staging branch back in 2012. I'm currently running wine 3.4. Fixes that allow uplay to work were added in a few Wine 2.x releases. I don't know when uplay became required for sh5, but wikipedia says it is newer than the game.
On a nicer note I've changed my problem. it turns out I needed to install the libpng12 package (I did both 32 and 64 bit to play it safe), but now when I try to start the game the uplay crash reporter burns up my cpu and nothing else visible changes. Progress is progress I guess.

EDIT: A word
