DEPRECIATED: See Description for New Video Link

THIS VIDEO HAS BEEN REPLACED: NOTE: This is intended to play games purchased from Uplay - not Steam. If you do not own Uplay Connect games purchased from Uplay, this video may not apply to you. If you own one the game on Steam? Install it from Steam. Let's play Ubisoft games on our Steam Deck! I will take you through the installation and configuration of the Ubisoft Connect client via Steam (no Lutris required) and look at three popular games; FarCry 6, Assassin's Creed: Odyssey and The Crew. Each game will be tested and we'll try to optimize each title a bit for performance. I'll cover some common scenarios including runtime shaders and how to install third party launcher games outside of the non-Steam app/proton folder. All this and more. It is strongly recommended to use a keyboard mouse for this tutorial Links/Mentions During the Video Location of Proton/Non-Steam Folders: /home/deck/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/{some number} Launcher Option to give access to filesystem from Non-Steam Game: STEAM_COMPAT_MOUNTS=/run/media/mmcblk0p1/ %command% Chapter Jumps 00:00 - Intro 00:05 - Overview of Tutorial 00:20 - Downloading Ubisoft Connect 00:49 - Installing Connect via Steam 02:18 - Adding Launch Options to Allow Access to Deck Filesystem 02:45 - Changing Launcher to point to Connect Instead of Installer 04:00 - Running Ubisoft Connect 04:49 - Downloading The Games / Linking An Existing Downloaded Game 07:09 - Renaming the Steam Launcher / Back to Game Mode 08:29 - Running Ubisoft Connect 09:10 - Let's Play FarCry 6 12:45 - Start of Gameplay 13:13 - Configuring Options 15:06 - Final play with changed configuration 15:50 - Let's Play Assassin's Creed Odyssey 17:50 - Discussing why Steam native games caches are better 18:20 - Start of Gameplay 19:10 - Configuring Options 20:43 - Restarting to test Medium Settings 22:53 - Back to Gameplay 23:50 - Let's lock it down to 40/40 25:25 - Let's Play The Crew 27:40 - Start of Gameplay 29:45 - Advanced Configuration of Ubisoft Connect client 31:55 - Closing Discussion
