Bubi I added you to an admin group which has more permissions here. The downside is it's a general group so this, and the users within, is shared with DCS forums atm.

1. Steam Download (online version, needs an internet connection to run)

2. DVD Online (essentially the same as the Steam Download, but on DVD CDROM)

3. SH5 "boxed" Version (which has the DRM removed)

I own the first two, but I have not found the boxed version. Where can the boxed version be found?

This I do know, you can run the Steam version off the Uplay site, change the settings from ONLINE to OFFLINE, and SH5 will play offline. But still its the Steam version and its reportedly not as patch friendly as the boxed version. (The no-DRM version of the SH5 EXE file can be patched because the Steam software isnt hiding the real SH5.exe in a packed when not running.)

Who can clear this up?
IIRC you can buy and download direct from Uplay. This will give you the "boxed" version, able to mod the .exe using generic patcher thing

Add me to the wolfpack boys! I've been playing the SH series since I was 8. Now I've got SH5 running with TWoS megamod pack.
Ayy blyat!
