Hmmm...





What is the install pathway... in short, just where did you install it at, exactly.


Am gonna hazard a guess & say, it sounds like you went with the default install locality... meaning either in C:\Program files or C:\Program files (x86)


Neither locality, do you ever... EVER want to install at.... especially nowadays what with Win 10, thanks to UAC... which will sabotage any installs that are modded, even if you tell Windows, to allow it to be done.


Best thing to do, is install either in a user created folder like C:\Games\SH5 or to a totally separate hard drive, altogether.



Hope this helps...

Installed not in C but in separate partition I:

Ok, do you have Ubisoft Connect game launcher set up & an account to it... as it could be that it has to have that bloody connection to Ubi the same as with having SH5 through Steam & Ubisoft, themselves... as strange as it may seem, it could well also require that even with SH5 from a disk.

Once you have Connect downloaded & set up, an account set up to log in on it... try running SH5 once more...


if everything runs after that, simply exit SH5 & go into the launcher for Connect & can then set it to offline mode & should have no issues after that with running SH5... from then on.


Hope this helps...
