Silent Hunter 5 Tactics & Tips - "How do I?" & FAQ! READ IF YOU ARE STUCK

AdmiralCunningham · 09-11-14, 03:29 PM

Having had Silent Hunter 3 on my son's previous laptop, which he then managed to spill tea over, we got a new laptop. Son noticed there is a newer version of Silent Hunter, so I paid £29 to get that on Steam.
Loaded it, ran it, got to a starting screen with the Actions on, with all four possible missions shown as locked. I contacted UBI support with a GamePlay question, and over the course of about two weeks and repeatedly telling them they weren't answering my question, they have finally told me today that they only deal with technical issues, not gameplay.
How do I (or more likely my son) even unlock and try to start the training mission? I understand the principle of gaining points to unlock later parts of games, but to have the training mission locked seems harsh.

I really should put in some nautical reference at least, but I'm so disappointed that the one game my son asked for hasn't even got past the welcome page.

And UbiSupport have been shocking.
