Default SH5 Won't Run!

Newbie to SH5 here. I installed SH5 from DVD. Seemed to install okay, except that it said my GPU wasn't the correct version in the compatibility window. I suspect that is just because it didn't recognize it. Anyway, I tried running SH5.exe, and I get a window that says it's checking for updates. Then another window pops up that says "A SERVICE IS UNAVAILABLE. A Ubisoft service is unavailable at the moment. Please try again later." There is a link to Ubisoft support that accesses Ubisoft, but nothing helpful for this problem. Clicking the OK button in the window results in the program crashing to the desktop. I have downloaded TWOS and tried following the instructions for that to see if I could get it running with TWOS. I set SH5.exe to Windows 7 compatibility and to run as administrator. Same result. I was able to update to version 1.2 using gu.exe, however. SH5 still won't run. I suspect that checking for updates is the problem, but I can find no way to bypass that step. In TWOS instructions, it references turning off web and update access, but it appears that the software needs to successfully start to do so. So, any ideas on how to get this thing running so I can install TWOS? Thanks for your help!

Default Answer my own question . . .

In what I thought was an unrelated thread, I found the answer. I downloaded a new version of Ubisoft Game Launcher Installer, uninstalled the version that came with the DVD, and installed the new version. After that (and a few error messages along the way), SH5 now runs fine. I was able to install TWOS, which happened exactly as described in the TWOS installation guide.


Now to start a campaign!

Hello

I have been a silent reader for a long while now in the SH5 section.
Now I need to register and ask for help.
I am running SH5 steam + WOS and since last windows 10 update few days ago, the game gave up.
The game loads up to start screen, I load a game and it crashes to desktop upon finished loading (where the game should start).
Problem concerns all my saves.
Returning system to previous point before update does not help.
Can it be related to the Micro C+++ updates???

Any ideas?

I can't help here, but im curious as to how to get SH5 steam version running with WoS on Windows 10 myself ... is it as simple as running the installer? im guessing not ... then to see if it works on updated Win10

installation went smooth without any need for my intervention.
I have been playing for few months now, and this happened.
it is a pity.
If I fail to resolve the issue probably I will have to abandon this game...

With my Steam SH5, I have had to use the SH5 properties page and change some of the settings there. I assume you do not have the Steam Library folder and game in a Program Files folder, since you say you have had TWoS working previously. Navigate into your SH5 folder, and right-click on the SH5.exe file. Choose "Properties" at the bottom of the context menu list. Then left-click on the "Compatibility" tab, and try changing a few of the settings.



That picture is from my SH4 install, posted in SH4 won't start after recent Win10 update but most of the same "technique" applies



Your mileage may vary... I have several computers, and each has a different configuration on that properties page. It depends upon your hardware and Windows set-up.

quick update:
i managed to naroow the issue to wrong saved game files.
Sometimes they do not load properly and crash the game to desktop.
Game is working again perfectly but the issue appears again.
Saved games crash upon loading.
What might be the reason for error in saving game?
