The game is saved anyway, at least in the small test I did, and it also still shows up in the normal Ubisoft Connect exe, so I’m assuming all that works fine.Įdit - noticed that with AC Syndicate, game is saved, but cloud saves were NOT synced.

But you can abort them from the Steam menu too, and that works ok. The only issue I noticed is that games won’t actually go back to SteamOS once you exit them. So I made sure to install each game to the home - deck - Games folder, pointed each ubisoftconnect.exe to that - and boom! Game shows up, and saves too. Using the locate game files thing in Ubisoft Launcher for each game works, but you can’t access the hidden. To me, this just shows in a beautiful way how Proton works, even if I still don’t really understand. Works for one game! Awesome, so I installed two more in the launcher, added more Ubisoft Connect.exe to Steam and linked them to the shortcut, but… I get the install screen of the game, instead of a game start.Īnd indeed, those instances show that NO game is installed AT ALL! But the other launcher still did. Launch options, by the way, are under the settings of each game (go to the game, the gear icon on the right), properties, and general (the first page), and right there are the "launch options". You can find lists online that tell you the ID, or you can create a shortcut to desktop of a game and see the ID in the details of the shortcut (best done on a windows pc where Connect doesn’t run in an emulated environment). For those that don’t know how: uplay://launch/GAMEID/0 add that line to the launch options of ubisoftconnect.exe, and replace the GAMEID with whatever game you need to play. Why not add a launch option, and now start one specific game, without having to open the launcher and THEN launch a game? Not only does this save you a step, you also have a nicer way to view your collection in SteamOS. Then some artwork from SteamGridDB and you’re all set.īut you can do one better. In desktop mode, you just follow the download launcher, open as non-steam game, install, then open the compatdata folder and choose ubisoftconnect.exe from the corresponding install ID. So, installing the Ubisoft Connect launcher is easy enough. Today, I want to tell you about my Ubisoft Connect saga, that does have a happy ending. Has been great!Īs you all know by now, there’s some funky stuff to get games working on this thing. I’ve had the Deck now for a week pretty much.
