Default HELP PLZ: The internet connection experiences problems, and the current game...

Hi Guys,

Am new here and in a desperate attempt, I am leaving this post.

I have a major prob with SH5. I cannot run the single player campaign.

When I try to run the single campaign I am getting the following message:

"The internet connection experiences problems, and the current game session was saved. Please wait until the Internet connection is restored or press OK button to return to the main menu"

WTF!!!!!

Funny enough, I can run the 7 "historical missions". No problems on that, but I cannot run the campaign.

For the "smart ones" out there, I do have a 30mb internet connection...

I did try everything (or about)...

From un-installing Uplay to reinstalling it, from disabling the scaling on high DPI, clear cache, un-installing the game, reinstalling it... bla bla bla.... I got **** all!

I do run Windows 10. Have 32gb ram with 2 gb SSD drive and GeForce video card. So I do not think hardware is the problem either.

I have purchased the game on Steam and downloaded it. Registered the Serial on Uplay... (BTW, I am launching UPlay as Admin)

Still **** ALL!

Any idea guys? I am about to throw the towel here!

In advance thanks to all for your help

Thank you soooooo much for taking the time answering all this.

As Sjizzle recommended, I disabled Windows Firewall, Defender, and also MalwareBytes. That did not do anything. Problem is the same.

kobiwaldi, I followed step by step your instructions (Thank you Dude for the kind in-depth help)... still the same.

1. I click on New Campaign... it goes to the Captain name selection screen
2. I click OK and it goes to the Mission Screen (first mission)
3. I click START MISSION and it goes to the "Loading" Screen (with the small radar looping on the bottom right)
4. After about... 20 seconds or so, BAM!!!!! I have that "Internet connection experiences problems..." screen again...

This is so retarded that one would encounter so many problems to play a simple freaking game... (and when I look around, I can read that a ****load of peeps run into probs...

Anyhow... I thank you all for your help. At this point I just give up. Gonna ask Steam for a refund. ...

You do not need an internet connection to play SH5 as a single player.
If you get the error in future when you sort your game out (dvd if possible) run Uplay Offline.
When asked by Uplay you can then take your saved games from your saved games folder.

Feel free to PM me to explain in detail if you want or have time. I guess that would do.

Thanx Sjizzle
