Was afraid this was going to affect #HOMM3 which I've been playing on my deck recently but I assume I'm safe since I have seen no sign of an Ubisoft launcher while running it.

I really wish Valve would implement a policy for existing and future games that disallowed distribution on their store with third-party launchers. Real tired of this shit.

that's crazy, only idiots will cry about ubisoft games not working. Ubisoft is the worst company.
in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮

Anti-cheat is being taken care of, now comes the newest corporate fad: Launchers on top of launchers. It's just absurd at this point. Take 2/R*/2K have been doing this as well.

Another reason not to buy from any company that forces you to use a 3rd party launcher, they always cause problems

Six hours ago I had planned play some Division 2 on my day off.... Been looking for ways to get it to run since then. No luck so far....

Yeah, I've been really enjoying The Division 2 and have really been enjoying the fact that I can just drop into it and play for a bit. Real shame I wont be able to play more until this gets fixed.

quite a solid Video Game int it. No clue what the plots about but free roam multiplayer is a goof
in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮

and this is why we don't buy games that require shitty 3rd party launchers.

@lior I'm aware of that link...it's my bug report ;)

Makes me worried for the Trackmania 2020 Steam release tomorrow... I'm really hoping that it improves the ease of setup on Linux, not breaks it...
in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮

Are you effing kidding me?

I bought (for the second time) The Division 2 last week on Steam as I wanted to play it on my gaming PC, which I converted to Linux last year... I thought I'd support a company that was looking like they might improve their support for linux ... I already owned the game via Epic or maybe uplay... who knows...

All these launchers need to die in a fire.

You're posssibly aware by now, but the bleeding edge version of proton experimental has fixes in place for the Ubisoft launcher. Just spent an hour reacquainting myself with Washington DC.

Launchers still need to be put against the wall though.
