Amazing stuff, this helped me getting AC Origins working again on my new OLED deck. Somehow it worked on the old LCD, but not on the new one. Now it does, thanks a lot!
Still doesn't work for me (Because Connect does not show up in Shortix). In case anyone is seeing this, here is my original comment on the first video: "Does not work. First of, I did not have to do all of this, I got Connect right from the start. It always gets me into the game, and then after all the logos just freezes (in game mode) or quits (in desktop mode). Now, after two hours of trying to fix it, I found this video. I installed Connect just like in the video, put it into experimental and still the same shit happens. I get all the logos, and then the game puts me back to desktop but shows me in steam that it's running."
Others have reported this - but I tested this again recently (like within the last 2 weeks) and it was still working. Try dropping the forced compatibility.
Thank You!!! thanks to you even a noobe like me lol can follow simple instructions and get games like Assassin's Creed 2 to work run on my Steam Deck Oled
Will not work. Followed the steps, AC syndicate still open old Uplay launcher. My Ubisoft connect after doing the link, can't open. When I first installed it ,I able to open. And I realized my files inside compatdata for Ubisoft connect (using shortix to confirmed that is Ubisoft connect) is not the same as yours. After I go in the random number (Ubisoft connect), it only have these files: pfx (folder), version, tracked_files, pfx.lock, config_info. Inside the pfx folder there is drive C. I open it, my Ubisoft folder is in program data and not program (x86).but the main problem is when I double click the Ubisoft folder, inside there is Ubisoft game launcher folder and it's empty. I can't open Ubisoft
does this method fix the password to log in ? For example trials evolution everytime i launch the game , ask me for typing my password event if remember me is ticked.
No one has mentioned this. It is really about replacing UPLAY with UBISOFT CONNECT for a Steam purchased third party game. If that doesn't align with your situation, probably not going to be much help. You got me curious though ...
Hi, thanks for this guide, appreciate it. Do I need to press launch for the first time in steam OS once I downloaded AC syndicate BEFORE I do all the steps to fix old Uplay launcher?
but what if the game (in my case also syndicate) wasn't bought via steam but over ubisoft connect and still won't launch? i tried it with every (!!!) previous AC game over connect and they worked. syndicate is the only exception
5:54 why inside that new simlink folder from Uconnect there is another Ubisoft folder with random numbers? Mine only have pfx folder and 4 other files.
I have downloaded Ubisoft connect and I can run AC Origins from that game but when I download it from steam and try to play it, it says can’t detect uplay. Why is it doing that and how do I fix it?
What Proton are you using? Try NOT using any forced proton. I just tested this game last night and all was well. I'm guessing there is a wildcard here somewhere...
It didnt work for me. Once I have got everything done like in your video, the game crashes trying to open the shitty Uconnet. This is frustrating. I give Up, spent 30 bucks on this game on steam and cant run it
Yeah, you just need a "fully working" Ubisoft Connect non-steam edition ready to go, then do a little proton swap to make sure AC:S uses the Ubisoft Connect client not the nasty uplay client that Steam tries to download.
@@Darkuniinstall shortix from desktop mode under discovery app search? And once install shortix, will it automatically set up all the game/app folder name?
I’ve got a question. Do the AC games run better if bought on Steam or the same as Ubisoft Connect? Thinking buying the games on sale from Epic to Connect and hearing all these situations where Connect seems to be more easier than Steam? But also heard shaders cache is better with Steam and less stutter? Especially Syndicate I’m not too knowledgeable on these types of subjects
There are two reasons to re-buy on Steam. Shader caches is one of them. It is almost impossible to discuss how much better SOME games can run with pre-compiled shaders. Second one is "Steam Know How". When you buy from Steam? They are on the hook to make sure it works as well as it can. Steam actually cares about you and Steam Deck users. Ubisoft does not. EA does not. When you buy a Ubi/EA game from Steam? They do all the heavy lifting. Integration with the launcher, pre-requisites, of course achievements, etc. They will choose the proton version to use FOR YOU. There is a lot less guess work on Steam. I have finally repurchased all the AC games on Steam - I waited for each one to go on sale. Odyssey is on sale NOW - and that was the last one to get :)
@@Darkuni Ahh right on! I’m not too huge with Odyssey so I’ll sadly pass, but I will definitely wait for a sale or so then. Thank you for this Yeah I’ve been researching the shaders cache and how it runs, people say eventually it’ll be smoothed out as you play along, but Steam pre-installed one’s just makes it smoother from the start. Gotta love Steam, and I absolutely hate when we gotta access another launcher just to play a game, so much problems 😂. Can never win at times with Ubisoft
@@TeaGamingPanda Check steamdb.info/ to see the lowest price the games you want are offered - and roughly how often. This can make it easier to decide when to buy and for how much.
@@Darkuni Oddly, I have not, will definitely take a look at that, now. Also thank you so much for that website! Was thinking of getting keys or just waiting, but you saved me tons! Appreciate it! One downside of Steam is them not piling the Ezio trilogy into a collection like they do for Ubisoft Connect (to save money) or even having the remasters on PC. Another odd thing Ubisoft, weirdly is bad at doing. Thank you once again
I successfully launch AC syndicate on steam deck with new Uconnect , appreciate ur video. However there is a major problem, it won't synchronize save data to Uconnect cloud when exit the game on steam deck. I'm playing on PC as well. Is there a fix to that?
Thanks! I have issue with immortal fenyx rising on steam deck, it freeze /hang on loading screen. It always hang for 7 mins on loading screen before the main menu where u select new game etc.
You need a working install of Ubisoft Connect. Start with that video. Within that video you're going to need to watch another video because Val poke the pooch on something and broke the start in and target functionality. Once you have a fully working Ubisoft Connect? Come back here and finish this. It sounds a lot harder and more complicated than it really is. If I knew for a fact valve would never fix that problem? I would shoot a new video with everything together but at this point I'm going to have to wait em out.
Did you execute it from the DESKTOP? That's the only place it will run from. You can use ProtonTricks to help you find the folder too - Shortix is just a damn sight easier.
@@Darkuni yes I followed your link from the video I have protontricks downloaded on the steam deck and I go to instal shortfix and it installs and I open the folder and it’s Kate I wish I could show you
It is a real pain to get these older games working. Ubisoft doesn't give a damn. Steam kinda does - but not enough to update their manifests to include the NEW launcher over the old one. It is unfortunate. Piracy on the Deck isn't always easier either :)

For weeks I suffered trying to install this game. Thanks to the UNO video you uploaded, I am now in the final stage of this great game.
A fantastic ending to a story!
Dude you saved me a headache! You are awesome keep up the great work
been screwing with this for 5 hours...thank you so much
Wish I'd gotten to you 5 hours ago :D
1 Billion IQ solition. I tried this on PopOS and it works perfectly. Thank you so much for this fix.
Thanks for the nice words!
@@Darkuni Your welcome 😇
To everyone having issues with just the Uno video, yes this helps. Thanks OP for getting rid of the music in the background.

You're using the current Ubisoft Connect with Syndicate installed through it ...?
¡Gracias!
I tried doing the shortix document and it is not working. It won’t do anything and I have followed the instructions. Is there a workaround?
Merci!
And my thanks to you too friend.
5:54 why inside that new simlink folder from Uconnect there is another Ubisoft folder with random numbers? Mine only have pfx folder and 4 other files.
That is a result of Shortix. It's a FEATURE. If you're not using Shortix, then you won't see it.

I have this issue where the assassins creed and Ubisoft logo appear but then it’s just a black screen. What’s going on and how could I fix it
I put out a new video recently that shows you how to fix that.

So weird. Sorry it didn't work out for you. Valve should refund you.
This is what I'm looking for! So first step we need to install Uconnect and log in our account by adding non-steam game method right?
Yeah, you just need a "fully working" Ubisoft Connect non-steam edition ready to go, then do a little proton swap to make sure AC:S uses the Ubisoft Connect client not the nasty uplay client that Steam tries to download.
