ubisoft games dont work because of this stupid uplay client, but they used a crack and it works
im sure thats kinda illegal, but if it is that easy to run ubisoft games on linux, maybe valve can talk to ubisoft and make something happen (idk, maybe a separate .exe file for linux users)

do you think that could work?

The uplay login bug was fixed in the final release of Wine staging. It's not fixed in wine-devel or proton *yet*, but people seem to have found a way around it (essentially it's a matter of symlinking to the correct version of libgnutls). This is from the protondb page for Assassin's Creed Revelations (obviously it's for Arch, but you get the idea):

QuoteYou need to set the correct libgnutls lib:

sudo pacman -S lib32-gnutls
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libgnutls.so.30.14.11 ~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/pinned_libs_64/libgnutls.so.26
sudo ln -s /usr/lib32/libgnutls.so.30.14.11 ~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/pinned_libs_32/libgnutls.so.26

Install corefonts:

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Sirmentio/protontricks/master/protontricks && chmod +x protontricks
sudo mv protontricks /usr/bin/protontricks protontricks 271590 corefonts

Install uplay: WINEPREFIX=/folder_games/steamapps/compatdata/201870/pfx wine Donwnload/Uplay.exe

Let uplay reinstall steam. Launch the game and it will work.

I haven't tried this out myself, though.

it would be great, if it works OOTB, because i really like ubisoft games
i havent played watch dogs 2, south park 2 and the new assassins creed (im still hanging in origins on windows)

Is Good to see Killing Floor 2 Working out of the box thanks to Proton 3.16-4 beta!
The use of an SSD is recommended for this game.

My understanding is that on the countries that there is some ruling about this, modifying your binaries is completely legal as long it is your local copy. (Australia and EU) So your binaries are yours and you can do whatever you please, as long as you don't distribute them .

The same reasoning that could apply to a car, when you tune it, same thing for software. Don't let them tell you otherwise.

as long as you dont remove DRM... it think
anyway. who will sue you? they see, that you have a legal copy and i dont know if they see, that you use a crack

The uplay client works for me in regular wine. I'm just lucky. I guess. Thus far cry 3 & 4 work
very well for me. The ubisoft titles are all on sale at steam. The lowest price is at
green man gaming.

¬¬ I just discovered that is possible to override xaudio2_7 from the launch option
WINEDLLOVERRIDES="xaudio2_7=n,b" %command%

I have to try it by myself.
With this, a lot of games will work out of the box with platinum rating.

Someone on ProtonDB posted a really nice guide to get GTA IV running.

It's nice to finally be able to play my Steam version of the game (before, only the pirated version would run via Wine for me).

Earthfall can be played for FREE this weekend and it has Platinum ratings.

I don't know You, but I'm gonna try it.

I tried Darksiders Warmastered Edition. It works out of the box, but the cinematics are not played...
and pasting the mfplat.dll file on the game's directory didn't worked. (I got the file from my windows7 machine)..
the trick specified on WINEHQ doesn't say if You have to use the version located at System32 or the one located at SysWOW64

QuoteYou have to use wined3d11 or the main character is invisible.

Or use a graphics driver that supports transform feedback (on Nvidia that would be 396.54.09).

Hitman 2 seems to be running fine, didn't buy it but you can get the prologue for free and even play the episodes from Hitman 2016 if you own that. Not interesting for that purpose of course, but hey, it works.

Earthfall works OUT OF THE BOX!!


First: I suggest to add WINEDLLOVERRIDES="xaudio2_7=n,b" %command% in the game's launch options for to avoid the potential very well known sound issue...

I played only in single player mode the two first chapters...I died A LOT.
Earthfall is the true spiritual successor of Left4Dead, and (for Me) is even better than Killing floor...

To call this game plagiarism or imitation is unfair, because indeed this has a better playability than Left4Dead....
I mean, You can even print your own weapons!! And You can install barricades!!!... and automated machine gun turrets!!!
This game has the improvements I always wanted to see in Left4Dead and KillingFloor.

If you gonna play solo, don't worry, You are not alone like in KillingFloor, You have your 3 bots friends like in Left4Dead.


I had solid 60 FPS most of the time with the graphics preset on HIGH, but I had frame drops when A LOT of enemies were attacking me... It seems this game very cpu demanding.

I had only ONE crash in 6 hours of game play, but I can't tell if it was a Proton issue or a game issue, because I had the same crash, several times, with Killing Floor 2 on a Windows 7 machine.
