Worked great out of the box, no issues and optimized well.
using protontricks that i downloaded in the discover store and selecting the game, selecting install an application, select ubisoft connect, click through the installer, dont run it when finished. return to game mode, run game under vulcan. for those that are visual learners this is the youtube video i found that works https://youtu.be/FdfANCwUUJU?si=p6Xe6GsA1EzsNyfl
locked to 30fps
when launching a window popped up saying could not connect to uplay
getting it to start the first time was a pain, but well worth it in the end, also now that i know this any other ubisoft games i should be able to use the same knowledge to play
Out of the box it doesn't install Ubisoft Connect. You'll have to install it on the prefix via Protontricks.
gamemoderun %command%
As someone allready said run these first.
echo "%command%" | sed 's/GRB_vulkan.exe/UbisoftConnectInstaller.exe/' | sh
Then remove the bove and use this: __NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 __VK_LAYER_NV_optimus=NVIDIA_only __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1 %command%
Game runs very well
When returning from alt-tab the game window will be black with the cursor stuck in the top left corner. Changing to Borderless resolves this.
Could not connect to multiplayer without setting sudo sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_mtu_probing=1

Installed Uplay
Once it might not've synced well, and lost maybe half an hour. Happened only once, might've been Uplay's fault.
The game runs very well, I went with the Vulkan renderer (that the last time I tried borked the game on Windows...) and it's super smooth. Likely has no issues with default Proton, I just tried GE before Protontricks.
"unable to detect Uplay installation. Please make sure uplay is installed."
Install protontricks Go Protontricks click "ghost recon breakpoint 2231380" Install an application Search package "ubisoftconnect" Press OK Install Ubisoft
Start game
you have to manually install Uplay/Ubisoftconnect using Protontricks > Ghost Recon Breakpoint > Install Application > Uplay/Ubisoftconnect, because its doesnt installed correctly by steam installscript
use this first:
echo "%command%" | sed 's/GRB_vulkan.exe/UbisoftConnectInstaller.exe/' | sh
Then remove the bove and use this:
__NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 __VK_LAYER_NV_optimus=NVIDIA_only __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1 %command%
Thanks to other posts for this solution :)
random sound degredation for a split second, hhardly notice. I also get this on other games so may not actually be this game.
Crashes on first launch without uplay and the nvidia launch mods listed by other users. Once uplay installed, launched with nvidia script and runs perfectly.
In my situation I had to disable Vsync to improve the sensitivity of the mouse, as it felt a little rough when pointing.
On windows 11-64Bits I have 60Fps-AVG. On ArchLinux I have 45-60Fps, All graphics in medium.
echo "%command%" | sed 's/GRB_vulkan.exe/UbisoftConnectInstaller.exe/' | sh
Use Startup Options on first launch, then remove. Works fine.
Execute o jogo primeiro com essa opção de inicialização
echo "%command%" | sed 's/GRB_vulkan.exe/UbisoftConnectInstaller.exe/' | sh
Depois remova e inicie normalmente
It all works as expected once you get uPlay installed using command from other reviews listed here.
__NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 __VK_LAYER_NV_optimus=NVIDIA_only __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1 %command%
I see no issues, performance is stable, no crashes on a 2 hour session, no hickups whatsoever.
Works like a charm. Runs smooth, no problems, except for starting up the game (see this and other reviews). After that everything is fine.
__NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 __VK_LAYER_NV_optimus=NVIDIA_only __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1 %command%
As others have mentioned you have to install this Uplay thing
echo "%command%" | sed 's/GRB_vulkan.exe/UbisoftConnectInstaller.exe/' | sh
After that you have to remove it and it works like a charm.
El juego se ve muy bien pero el problema son los crasheos frecuente cada 30 o 50 minutos
En primera tienes que utilizar una aplicación externa llamada protontricks para instalar el lanzador de Ubisoft connect para poder jugar
Muy bien el juego es una chulada pero el problema es que en 30 minutos mi Steamdeck se calienta como pubertad de 13 años ocasionado que el juego crashe y me ponga pantallazo negro asta que tenga que apagarlo forzosamente
Cada cierto tiempo me saca del juego junto con un pantallazo negro
Bajo su riesgo
echo "%command%" | sed 's/GRB_vulkan.exe/UbisoftConnectInstaller.exe/' | sh
Used with launch options and Vulkan. Haven't played on windows, so can't compare performance. Seems to run as expected.
echo "%command%" | sed 's/GRB_vulkan.exe/UbisoftConnectInstaller.exe/' | sh
Forced online mode, disconnects randomly due to shit Ubisoft servers
echo "%command%" | sed 's/GRB_vulkan.exe/UbisoftConnectInstaller.exe/' | sh
Launch commands needed to login at first start up
In the first 30min of gameplay the game crashed 4 times on me
With a little tinkering you can install it but it still crased a lot on me. The Dealbreaker is the always online requirements (bad enough even when it works) that makes me restart the game everytime i put my Steamdeck in sleep.
Game fails to launch, coming up with the error :
Unable to detect Uplay installation. Please make sure Uplay is installed.
With no option to install Uplay
echo "%command%" | sed 's/GRB_vulkan.exe/UbisoftConnectInstaller.exe/' | sh
had some issues with the screen flickering on start and sometimes the game crashing after alt-tab.
Works great out the box, no tinkering done and i reach more FPS than on Windows 10.
WINEDLLOVERRIDES="d3dcompiler_47=n;dxgi=n,b" STEAM_COMPAT_DATA_PATH="/home/henry/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/3135525423" %command%
Online works just as well as on Windows. Ubisoft Connect will forget to tell you that you've been invited to a session, but it did that on Windows. All is as expected.
If you use STEAM_COMPAT_DATA_PATH to link to your Ubisoft instance, it works perfectly. I've not had any issues, and play online with my friends every day.
Successful finish of the solo campaign with graphics settings at high or very high. Multiplayer co-op works well, but I used Discord voice.
Protontricks is one method to get past 'can't find Ubisoft Connect' error, by installing it manually.
Voice Chat sound options are greyed in the in-game menu, but I don't yet know if that's simply because Steam voice settings supercede them.
Sometimes I'll get 1 to 3 crashes within a minute or two of entering the game world. No clear cause, but it generally doesn't happen once I'm deep into playtime. A "built-in" problem is that the game will effectively crash if connection to Ubisoft servers is lost -- even during solo play.
Biggest issues have been the Ubisoft Connect missing immediately after install, and a time when the game (even solo) was down for about 4 hours because of Ubisoft server downtime.
Set Vulkan version to be used by default in Game Properties
On first launch use the following launch arguments to install the Ubisoft launcher:
echo "%command%" | sed 's/GRB_vulkan.exe/UbisoftConnectInstaller.exe/' | sh
Log into you Ubisoft account
After you log in, you may get an "app is running" error in Steam, ignore it error and close the app via "Stop" in Steam
- Remove the launch arguments and launch the game again
- Without tinkering, the game will error out, saying that Ubisoft Connect is not installed
- Coop works great (haven't tested Ghost War (PVP mode))
Install Ubisoft Connect through protontricks
I signed into Ubisoft Connect then closed it. Then ran the game through steam and booted right up without any further input.
Rename UbisoftConnectInstaller.exe to GRB_Vulkan and GRB_Vulkan.exe to GRB_Vulkan1.exe, then launch for the first time to install Ubisoft Connect. Afterwards, revert the files back to original filenames and launch the game.
Do I need to even say anything....
It's Intel, always Intel with their crappy drivers. Anyways, here's the link for the exact symptoms I had: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/6471#issuecomment-1868988644
Booting the game from steam after installing Ubisoft Connect through Protontricks lead to the game working flawlessly.
Installed Ubisoft Connect through protontricks and game boots right up.
Game will not launch without Ubisoft Connect being installed.
First person plus DoF Blur Removal mods working perfectly fine. Game runs 90-100 FPS on high settings.
WINEDLLOVERRIDES="d3dcompiler_47=n;dxgi=n,b"
Tabbing to another window in fullscreen mode would turn the game window completely black until the game was restarted
Upon first launch, Game will not boot until Ubisoft Connect is installed. This can be easily achived by renaming the UbisoftConnectInstaller.exe to GRB.exe, running the game, installing Ubisoft Connect, and then reverifying integrity of gamefiles.
The First Person DoF Blur Removal mod will stop the game from booting up. I used the ReShade version instead. Same Nexus modpage, just an older version for the reshade files.
The first person mod can be installed by using Steam Tinker Launcher to run CheatEngine alongside Breakpoint. As far as I know, settings don't save on restarts, but it doesn't take more than ten seconds to set up every time.
The Dof Blur removal is normally broken but can be achived through reshade. I used this method to install reshade (https://github.com/kevinlekiller/reshade-steam-proton) and grabbed the reshade files from the old files on the modpage. (https://www.nexusmods.com/ghostreconbreakpoint/mods/550?tab=files)
Multiplayer crossplay between Windows worked with no issues and no hoops to jump through unlike Wildlands.
Running these mods means that you have to run the game through DX11 instead of Vulkan which cost me about 10-15 fps of performance.
Installing Uplay Connect with winetricks in the game's prefix
Had to install uplay with winetricks, I did not have a BattleEye folder as reported by other. Can play nicely with gyro!
Litris v0.5.14 Installing the game via Ubisoft Connect. I haven't played multiplayer. I launched a company and a cooperative - no problems. Graphics settings - High or Ultra. FPS in the range of 75-95. The executable file is "GRB_vulkan.exe".
Installed Ubisoft Connect via protontricks
You must install Ubisoft Connect first, via protontricks is probably easiest.
Since the Ubisoftlauncher was not automatically installed, I used the "exe"-rename hint mentioned often here
Even on my low end system it runs quite well without any issues
Used Proton Tricks and installed Ubisoft's trash launcher as the game needs it.
Game runs well, just unnoying to get the garbage ubisoft launcher and tinkering but once that is done you can set it and forget it. Enjoy!
Per farlo funzionare bisogna forzare steam a farlo partire tramite ubisoft connect. Con questo brevissimo video su youtube `e molto semplice farlo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9TaPFMiMiDg
Per il resto il gioco gira a solidissimi 40 FPS a impostazioni medie senza personalizzazioni.
baypassabile facilmente: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9TaPFMiMiDg
Un fix di 5 minuti permette di giocare out-of-the box
Worked well after install. Didn't have do any of the workarounds listed here. Steady 40 fps with dips to the mid-30s with Med graphics.
needed to install Ubisoft Connect manually via protontricks, the game just expects it to be already installed
