Well I can tell you that it is an issue and no matter what Ubisoft have confirmed Silent Hunter 5 can no longer be run from Steam.

Immediately after install and running SH5 you get a Ubisoft popup saying A Ubisoft Service is unavailable please try again later ....

And that's it ... You have an option to click on OK and the game closes.

Rip SH5 ...

5 minutes ago I was able to successfully launch and play the game from Steam. And Ubisoft Connect logged me in. Were you trying to reinstall it and you ran into this issue?

Thinking that you probably forgot to shunt Ubisoft's Connect launcher... into offline mode...


Just finished signing into both Steam & Ubi launchers... & had SH5 stock, load up, just fine.


Currently, I have U-190's Das Boot set up for it & will see of resetting back up of having TWoS, sometime.... have been... busy, checking out some other SH mod set ups, of late... so, have not yet had the time to do so... yet.



Hope this info.... helps... as always.

Check this out:

looks like I have come back to SH5 too late. Ubisoft Connect won't run and gives an error along the lines of



Can't find procedure entry point in dxgi.dll.


I'm still running win 7 if that has anything to do with it?

Yes indeed, that’s exactly why. Recent updates by Ubisoft to Connect have made it unable to launch on Windows 7. Please try this workaround, it worked for me:
