I get a message,
"A SERVICE IS UNAVAILABLE
a Ubisoft service is unavailable at the moment. Please try again later.

Your game is looking for Uplay to complete the Game Launcher installation.

OK, Thanks THEBERBSTER. I'm going to try the "SH5 Game Launcher Install It Anywhere On Any Drive." instructions............

Dang it. I missed the "Try this first" instructions. I already uninstalled the Ubisoft game launcher. Hopefully that won't bug things up if I backtrack to "try this first" instructions?

That'll teach me to read instructions better, won't it.

shoot, I have to run a personal errand, I'll have to come back to this.

Hi Mike
I think you may need to uninstall and re-install STEAM as you have already modded the game but the game is not yet installed fully as you are missing the game launcher updates.

When STEAM installs the game check the SH5.exe as it may already be patched to v1.2

Uninstalling the game launcher was good.
Do not forget to do this.

Install the new game launcher in the default directory.

Try running the game from the SH5.exe

I did run SH5.exe as Administrator. Then, I reinstalled the Ubisoft game launcher. Then, I installed UPLAY and entered the activation code. Then I crossed my fingers and muttered a quick prayer and tried to start it.

And it worked! How about that. I just learned that I can "type "silentotto" while you're in the campaign selection screen to unlock all campaigns and start any you want.."

I THINK I am good, but not 100 percent sure.......

Any tips anyone wants to give me as far as just starting with SH5/WOS would be appreciated.

Good, thank you, appreciate it.

I should have said "I installed the Ubisoft game launcher" not "I reinstalled the Ubisoft game launcher" in a previous post.

It's running, but all messed up. Locks up continuously, I can't configure campaigns as part of the screen is blacked out. Do I need to uninstall and reinstall everything? I don't know. Maybe something is corrupted. I will check your SH5 tutorials
