what version of SH5

AP514 · 03-03-19, 04:32 PM

I downloaded SH5 gold from Kinguin..and activeated it thru Ubisoft.

I can not seem to get it to work on my windows 10. (to clarify work as in actually work..i see trailer w/no sound then nothing)Also wanted to install TWO's but di not see some of the folders mentioned in the tutorials...

Did I buy the wrong version ? All files from uplay downloaded.the launcher and SH5 (subfolder)under the uplay launcher

Need some serious help...this forum is like a Maze......

Hi and Welcome Aboard!

Part of the problem with a service like Kinguin is that you don't know where the keys come from. The other part is that with a game from UBIsoft the key is only good once. If you buy a second-hand UBI game it almost certainly won't work. After reading your post I looked up Kinguin and they seem pretty shady to me. I wouldn't by anything from them. Also you might try contacting UBI directly to see if they might work something out.

SH5 is still pretty cheap from a lot of legitimate services, and is even available on Steam now. I'm not a big fan of Steam, but that's just me. If nobody else has it then they are a good way to go, and they have sales all the time when you get stuff really cheap.

Others will be along who can probably help more. However it works out, I hope you get many years of fun play with SH5.

Well, the key from Kinguin let me Dload directly from U-Play onto my computer.
