Default SH5 wont start...

So I just installed it got the stupid Uplay set up, went to play and at the top it said it couldnt load the game, then I switched to offline mode for Uplay and it loaded for a second and then said game session ended... Why does Ubi have to do this stupid Uplay crap? Is there any way to get this to work for anyone thats had the same problem as me?? I think it may be that I installed the game on the D drive (My partition) instead of C:\...ProgramFiles(x86) or whatever. And on another note, I cant seem to get autorun to work for anything (Like when I pop in SH5 it doesnt just pop up to the autorun screen) is there possibly a setting I have to flick somewhere? Any help is appreciated.

Regards,

Casey


UPDATE:

Uninstalled, reinstalled into the C drive and it worked, however I had to restart my computer in between that so Im wondering if that had something to do with it. I dont want to install anything on the C drive since that is my drive for Windows only, going to see if I can re install it on D and make it work.

I play offline, but what gets me is when Uplay decides it has to update so I get to wait for something I never use before I can play my game.

Way to irritate your customers.
