Making a physical copy of my SHV

[ERPP8]

Does anyone know how I would make a physical copy of my SHV download?

when you click to download it should have the option to "save" or "open"


select "save" and save it to your desktop, from there you can copy it to disk

hope this helps

Would it fit to a DVD?

Since they sell it on a DVD, I'd think the odds are pretty good.

most standard DVDs are maxed out around 4 1/4 GB and even though there are disks that hold more including double sided disks it depends on the type of burner you have.

for the short term i would suggest you save it to a flash drive until you get more details on the size and if your burner can do the job.


worst case you just keep it on the flash drive perminently

Bear in mind that a physical copy is not much use.

So long as the Ubisoft servers are up and you have your account details,
you can always download a copy.

If the Ubisoft servers are not up or you no longer have your account
details, you won't be able to play even if you do have a physical copy.

i assumed he was refering to being able to reinstall the game as needed somewhere down the line.

Actually I asked that to Ubisoft help and they said they's remodeling their site in April and he doesn't know If it would still work.
I hope it will still work.

SH5 gamedisc is 3.95Gb. It should fit fine on a standard DVD.

Burn it as An ISO image. if it comes as a BIN file convert it to an iso,

1. Insert a blank CD or DVD in your drive.
2. Open the Free Easy CD DVD Burner program.
3. Click on the Copy CD/DVD button on the tool bar at the top of the program window.
4. Under the Action menu on the left, click the Burn an image file link.
5. When the Select the image file that you want to burn window opens, locate and select the ISO file you wish to burn to the empty disc and then click Open.
6. A dialog box will appear asking "Do you want to burn [your chosen ISO file]?".
   Click OK to confirm.
   The burning process will automatically begin. The time it takes to burn will depend on the size of the ISO file and the speed of both your PC and your CD or DVD burner.
7. When the burning is complete, the CD or DVD will automatically eject from the drive. You can remove the disc and close Free Easy CD DVD Burner.
8. If you view the contents of the disc, you might notice many files and folders. So what happened to the ISO file? Remember that the ISO file is just an image of what should be on the CD or DVD. That ISO file contained the information for all of the files you see on the disc.
