Install Lutris, install the ubi launcher through Lutris, install game through launcher. Works just fine.
Launching straight from Steam, game doesn't start (I tried a bunch of Proton versions). I don't know why, since launching straight from Lutris works just fine.
Clicking "Play" does nothing as it stops after a bit with no popup or game actually launching
Not playable
Very playable. Only issue is a graphical glitch which prevents some tree textures to load correctly.
Tree textures from certain tree models don't load correctly (only load from far away)
Works flawlessly - Ubisoft Connect launches and may stay in the background leading steam to show the game as "Running" after closing.

Works well. There was an update that broke Ubisoft Connect yesterday 2024-06-13 (couldn't login), but it seems to have been resolved today (2024-06-14).
Nothing
When play is pressed, the game does nothing. After 2 minutes, it reverts to a stopped state. I tried all available proton tools from the official Steam menu at the time of writing.
Connecting to uplay an issue, but even then borked
Tried everything I could think of. The biggest issue seemed to be getting it to connect to UPlay, not sure if I managed but when it stoppped throwing errors it simply wouldn't start. Often just sat there "launching" or "running" but no window.
FPS slightly lower than on Windows. On ultra 60 on linux vs 75 on windows
didn't immediately connect to server. Had to wait a bit in free roam
go to proton expermental -->manage-->betas then select bleeding edge first option.
Can't get it to work
After switching to various Proton versions and GE-Proton versions it still won't work.
Always-Online live service game, so when you suddenly drop offline (like because of the Steam Deck Wifi driver issues it was plagued with for a long time), you can do nothing but free ride.
Turned FSR on to max sharpness
Default official controls weren't detected by game
For 800p at 100% resolution with low settings, game can keep a semi stable 60 FPS; busy sections with a lot of snow particles tank it
One crash in the span of an hour session
Particle effects are resource hogs
Not supported
Some framerate drops when looking down detailed slopes without decreasing resolution scale.
protontricks to install ubisoft software
40 fps
disabled steams controller config and it worked after
game is graphically intense, 40hz fixes this while remaining good quality
Runs great. Once you install ubisoft software, game should just work automatically.
Fullscreen would take up only a small portion of the upper left corner of my screen
After playing the game for not even that long of an amount of time, the game will cause my PC as a whole to force restart itself. There's no rhyme or reason to the crashes, and no other game I have does this, so I can only assume it's a problem with the game itself.
Using Proton-GE is needed to fix gamepad controls, otherwise the game only recognizes keyboard. The button glyphs are also correct with Proton-GE. The game plays great with Proton-GE on Steamdeck.
Had to change to generic gamepad and joystick trackpad, default does not show up as controller
one random crash so far
was able to install it. on first launch it installs ubisoft connect. Ubisoft connect will eventually give an error saying its unable to connect (kind of ironic given its name.) It then gives you the option to play offline, but then says you must log in first. It brings up the log in screen so I put in my info and log in. it says its unable to connect again, and hitting offline just opens the login prompt again. So no way to get past ubisoft connect log in and open the game.
Game has occasional stutters when riding through new areas and on mountain view. Doesn't occur as heavily on areas that have been visited.
Game stutters quite occasionally in-game and especially on mountain view
Works well. If you face controller issues, try to wait until game fully started before plugging it in.
Had to plug in my controller after the game had completely started, otherwise replugging it wouldn't help.
Steam input toggle didn't help. Steam recognizes it, game doesn't.
Any Proton version 6 - 7 didn't fix the controller not being recognized by the game, which is weird 'cause I'm pretty sure it worked with 6.21-GE earlier.
Runs great for the most part; some teething issues but overall Uplay is the bigger annoyance
Sometimes it starts minimized and you have to manually switch to the game window.
On the second launch (the first successful launch), the game started in fullscreen and correctly detected my monitor as 1920x1080, but the game was squished to 4:3. Alt-tabbing out and back in fixed this.
If you accidentally alt-tab out when playing in fullscreen, you may get a black screen when you alt-tab back in. Alt-tabbing out and back again also fixes this.
Mouse sometimes does not work, or is so laggy that it feels like it's being polled once a second.
Fix: restart the game. (This can be done without the mouse, thankfully.)
Uplay seems to take 15 seconds to load, before the game can even begin loading. (And this is on an NVMe SSD.)
Steam will not mark the game as closed until you kill Uplay, and Uplay does not automatically close when the game closes.
Right-clicking on the taskbar icon for Uplay has a "quit" option, but most of the time clicking it does nothing, so I have to open Uplay Settings and quit Uplay from there.
Once in a blue moon, Uplay will lock up and the GUI stops responding. This is quite rare, but when it occurs, the easiest way to deal with it is as follows:
$ ps aux | grep 'ubi\|uplay\|steep' # Enumerate the processes, make sure everything looks good
$ # If all processes are as expected (i.e. only Ubisoft processes are present):
$ kill -9 `pgrep 'ubi|uplay|steep'`
$ # Otherwise, 'kill -9' each relevant PID manually
I've also had Steep lock up before in such a way that I had to drop to a TTY (CTRL+ALT+F3), kill Steep and Ubisoft processes, and then return to the graphical session (CTRL+ALT+F7). This has only happened once, and it was on first launch.

Proton-7.1-GE-2
Heavy stuttering in menus and map screen
Running fairly well using Proton-7.1-GE-2. Gameplay performs well, but has heavy stuttering in the menus and map. The game crashed about after an hour or so of gameplay multiple times. Online play worked perfectly.
Black screen after pressing play.
I did later try to run it in lutris and it works perfectly there, 60 fps ultra with very rare crashes and no performance problems.
Runs great out of the box, Xbox One controller connected via wireless adapter and using XOW detected immediately, works 100%
crashed when hovering over "windowed" mode in the settings
After restart everything works perfectly
mouse has a small area to move around in menu, so you cant really do anythiong with it, but controller works perfectly.
Sometimes the game freezes for about a second(has like 2 fps), but then recovers back to 70fps

Game would crash when loading screen after game logos, had to manually edit the STEEP.ini file to be windowed and then once in game I set the game to borderless.
Won't connect to Ubisoft servers.
Appears to work at first, but actually this game is unplayable without a sever connection. You'll be able to do a small segment of the tutorial and when you get to the binocular section you just won't be able to spot anything.
installed from ubisoft connect, installed from lutris
minor problems with dual screen when it goes fullscreen
lutris automatically disables uplay in-game overlay, so if it's not enabled manually there are no problems
It requires tweaking if you want to use a controller, with the keyboard will work straight away even with Experimental Proton

Disable Steam input allowed me to play with the Sixaxis Controller but need to re-plug twice to get it mapped and detected correctly. Via bluetooth gets not mapped correctly even after few tries
Crashes if the Steam input is disabled and the Sixaxis it's connected before launch
With Steam Input Enabled no controller detected but works fine with Keyboard Steam Input default + controller pre plugged --> crash on splash screen Steam Input default + controller plugged after launching game --> wrong mapping Disable Steam Input + Controller plugged after launching game (few tries) --> works

Due to uplay overlay not being functional multiplayer is a bit of a pain to set up, you need to enable virtual desktop in winecfg launch the game set it to windowed mode move the window so you can see the start menu use it to load uplay go to settings disable the uplay overlay then have a friend invite you accept the invite through the uplay chat window then after you load in close the game and close uplay (optionally disable virtual desktop) then load the game and you can join them again through the social tab of the in game pause screen.
Installed and ran with Proton-5.6-GE-2 (GloriousEggroll).
Prior to install/first-run, downloaded UplayInstaller.exe from Ubisoft website, then copied the updated uplayinstaller to FOO/steamapps/common/Steep/Support/Software/GameLauncher/
After replacing the file, installed the game from Steam normally. UplayInstaller from Steam download would install properly, but would never get past looking for updates on startup.
Uplay application was laggy and mouse clicks (changing settings, i.e. Disabling Uplay-overlay) took patience.
Uplay would crash right after doing a cloud-sync (saving game) after closing Steep, if the uplay-in-game-overlay was enabled.
