I'm having issues running stock SH5 on a fresh PC build through Steam, when run it brings up a Ubisoft splash screen saying 'Checking for updates' which then fails to a screen saying 'A SERVICE IS UNAVAILABLE'.

I'll keep checking through the forum threads but thought it was worth asking if this was a known issue?

more than likely you are starting the game launch with Uplay.
Uplay is no longer supported.
search in this thread and you will find the solution that relates to Steam-purchased-license, Uconnect, and SH5.
before you swear at me for not giving you a definitive answer, i do not play SH5 but i know that a solution has been posted.

good luck, Herr Kaleun.
