Symptoms

uplay loads libgnutls from steam runtime 32 bit directory. a symbolic link for libgnutls.so.26 pointing to libgnutls.so.30.x solved the uplay problem. (see screenshot)

i upgraded to ubuntu 18.10 /LLVM 7.0.0/Mesa 18.2.2 (with 18.0.5 i have black screen)

so the game runs fine :

this is only a workaround and information for valve.

Reproduction

[nsivov]

What exactly doesn't work with bundled gnutls, and how to reproduce this? Installed version is around 2.12 I think, and it is a bit old at this point.

ok you can make a minitutorial for game launcher from uplay, for me no working none of game, but open the uplay, make something different

first i download uplay, from uplay.ubi.com later this uplay to wine prefix WINEPREFIX=/folder_games/steamapps/compatdata/33230/pfx wine Donwnload/Uplay.exe install and later i make

 cd .steam/bin32/steam-runtime/i386/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/
rm libgnutls.so.26
ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgnutls.so.30.14.10 libgnutls.so.26

with this work uplay and able to open, but the game no works then any ideas

Hello @jomarocas, Assassin's Creed II is being tracked at #190 and Assassin's Creed Black Flag at #1733. Please discuss each game on the game-specific issue report.

[jomarocas]

ok i try the game and working good, a minor issue with the steam controller but i can play the game with 30 fps and more, but you need make

cd .steam/bin32/steam-runtime/i386/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/
rm libgnutls.so.26
ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgnutls.so.30.14.10 libgnutls.so.26

and install steam in other path, i can play with more than hour and all good, with gtx 970, nvidia 410, and beta 3.16-3

With the 3.16-8 beta, AC: Unity / uPlay seems to work out-of-the-box. uPlay behaves and loads/launches properly, and Unity has pretty decent performance with no graphic/audio glitches.

Two relatively minor issues remain:

• sometimes crashes to desktop on first load of the main opening screen.
• using a Steam Controller causes the camera to spin in circles

[howels]

Once a controller is connected the axis appear to get a large X and Y deflection. Instead of being centered, the view looks up and spins in one direction. This applies to both DS4 and Steam Controllers. The 0,0 point for controller input is being incorrectly set. Using Proton 4.2-1.

[howels]

Once the right trigger is held down the spinning stops, so this is an axis mapping issue.

[...] Once the right trigger is held down the spinning stops, so this is an axis mapping issue. -- @howels

I can reproduce this on Proton 4.2-2. Game is apparently working perfectly except for the controller support which means that I can't play it on the couch via Steam Link. :(

[Holzhaus]

I found a workaround for the controller issue: Use a Steam Controller or enable configuration support for Xbox/etc., then edit the right trigger and swap the values for "Trigger Right Start" and "Trigger Right End" to invert the axis. Voilà, the camera does not spin anymore. It's playable, but not perfect because sometimes button presses are not properly registered during fights and I need to press LB + LT instead of just LT to sneak.

[howels]

@holzhaus I need to get time to test. If any Dev can look at this it seems 99.9% playable now with only this controller issue remaining.

[howels]

Working perfectly in Proton 4.2-5.

No remaining gameplay bugs (general Uplay overlay issue remains AFAIK but I always disable the overlay).

Suggest that AC: Unity is now whitelisted.

[jomarocas]

The game working good in the 4.2-7 and steam controller where before crash, but crash later of minutes playing before of start a mission, i have pending the log

[Nowa-Ammerlaan]

I'm having some trouble with AC unity, I have a copy from uplay that I am trying to get running by adding it to the steam library as a non-steam game. It works in Lutris apart from the issue with the controller spinning that was already mentioned here. I was hoping that running it through steam's proton would circumvent that problem.

However running Uplay.exe from the steam library gives me:

Apart from the preparing to launch dialogue window, that is shown very briefly, nothing happens. The LD_PRELOAD errors aren't causing this because I get that for every game, I have added and executed other exe's successfully.

[EDIT] Log file: http://dpaste.com/30QJMBS [EDIT2] Fixed the target variable which apparently does not set correctly if there are spaces in the path, which unfortunately windows does a lot :( new log: http://dpaste.com/0BZ131M Now I get a dialogue box saying that ACU can't find "Ubisoft Game Launcher" when running ACU.exe, running Uplay.exe still gives me nothing, not even a log.

[EDIT3] Never mind, fixed it, apparently when there are whitespaces in the path you not only need to fix the "Target:" variable but also clear the "Set Launch Options" box because that is where the remainder of the path goes :/

[jomarocas]

this is my crash for assassin creed unity in game, i only can play 2 minutes before crash https://gist.github.com/jomarocas/4db22c2e360ae045f73291c01423e484

[jomarocas]

Hi in the latest proton 5.0.4 i try to play the game erase the compat data and no working previous version 5.01 i can play this game

[Romern]

The game crashes at the splash screen. Similarly, Black Flag ( https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/1733 ) freezes at the splash screen. with the same error. This happens with both with DXVK and without. The only error in the log is:

ERROR: Could Not Get Primary Adapter Handle

I also tried all AMD vulkan drivers:

• vulkan-amdgpu-pro 20.30_1109583-1
• amdvlk 2020.Q3.6-1
• vulkan-radeon 20.1.8-1

But all return the same error as above.

Kernel version: 5.8.10-arch1-1 Proton version: 5.0.9-6 DXVK version: 1.7.1-1 CPU/GPU: AMD Ryzen 5 4500U

[Anrock]

I have troubles with AC:U activation. Steam launches Uplay, it asks me to login and then shows me "enter the activation code" screen, which I obviously don't have and here I'm stuck.

Steam support denied refudn and redirected me to ubi support, then ubi said they don't support proton and redirected me back to steam and at the end steam support redirected me here.

[Holzhaus]

IIRC the activation code is available in the steam overlay. That said I worked fine for me without manual activation.

[Anrock]

@Holzhaus welp, no overlay, cuz game isn't launched and required manual activation

[Anrock]

@Holzhaus unfortunetaly there is no "CD keys" under "manage".

[Coreforge]

It seems like some recent update broke the game. With DXVK, it hangs after a few seconds, using both radv and amdvlk. File integrity is good, and it works mostly using WineD3D, but there seem to be some graphical issues when SSAO is enabled. I've put the dxvk logs here and the proton log here

[Makoto009]

Do someone also experience LOD problems? Textures looks very bad and it do not load the graphics properly. Some areas looking like N64 graphics. Bought and running through steam. Running the game with Proton 8.0-5 and gamemode and mangohud. The game in general runs smooth with 1440px x 144Hz (32GB RAM @ 6000 MHz, Ryzen 9 7950X3D and Radeon RX 6950 XT - game and OS - LM 21.2 with Cinnamon, Kernel 6.5.0-21 and kisak Mesa 24.0.2 - are stored on nvme). I did put TearFree and VariableRefresh options true in amdgpu.conf which seems to work (like my Xorg.0.log is telling me).

Stuck at splash screen

I am unable to play this game, the Ubisoft Connect launcher shows up, asks for my password, syncs the save files, and I'm met with this splash screen, I left it there for an hour once and nothing changed so I don't think it is loading anything.

Screenshot

And it's stuck there indefinitely.
