Need to log into uPlay the first time but after that it works flawlessly
AC games are locked to 16:9 so the game runs at 1280x700
UPlay is garbage as usual but the game plays well.
Set it back to default controller after creating my profile
On first launch you need mouse and keyboard to set up profile. Once profile is loaded and you're set to Controller in setting it plays fine.
You'll need to set your profile with mouse and keyboard, and set your controls to Xbox in the settings. Once that's done you can launch the game, select your profile with the touch screen and you're off to the races with full controller support. Controller isn't supported until you've run your profile. Full screen has black bars even at 1280x800 but it doesn't matter much. Only had crashed once so far after three or four suspends/wakes without restarting game. Intro video can be skipped by tapping touchscreen.
-playoffline
I enabled launch flag -playoffline to disable the password popup from Ubisoft Connect
If you're OK with entering your password, works great. If you're not, launch flag will solve it.
Works on Deck. Frequent black-screen issue on Arch Linux.
Enter key does not seem to work most of the time, but other keys work as expected.
Starting most levels, when it triggers the opening cutscene, it goes to black screen and freezes. Proton logs:
1187.198:01a4:02b4:warn:vkd3d-proton:rs_desc_from_d3d12: Ignoring AntialiasedLineEnable 0x1.
1187.198:01a4:02b4:warn:vkd3d-proton:d3d12_pipeline_library_load_pipeline: Pipeline "dee306ca4621fc29" does not exist.
It does work flawlessly on my Steam Deck, so perhaps there is some special sauce running on Deck.
Other users reporting the black screen issue seem to be Arch users. Steam Deck continues to work fine, supporting the game's Verified status.
You can get to the menu to select between Classic and Enhanced modes easy enough, but it crashes with an error and/or becomes unresponsive no matter which you select.
