[The scorpion]

Recently got a new computer and decided to install SH5 from Ubisoft (not available from Steam)
I have been trying to get TwoS to work for days with no luck I thought that I had read all there was on the subject and was about to give up when I as a last resort I fell upon this thread.
Is there now a work around to getting TWoS and the patcher working, If there is could some kind subsimmer point me in the right direction.

Thanks Terry
