Quoting: rustybroomhandleAC:V works with the newest wine-tkg. Running directly from Ubisoft Connect. May possibly need to compile the latest VKD3D-Proton, but I believe that wine-tkg includes that. I had some initial performance issues, but disabled vkd3d logging and now it runs pretty well.

I tried the wine and proton versions here

Building from source with no joy, did you set any specific options?

Nothing special, just:

WINEDEBUG=-all WINEFSYNC=0 WINEESYNC=1 VKD3D_DEBUG=none VKD3D_SHADER_DEBUG=none WINEPREFIX=bla wine64 bla/UbisoftConnect.exe

Using the newest version currently on the tkg releases page.

I also compiled vkd3d-proton from source and copied the d3d12.dll to the ACV folder.

I did see some mention that this might not currently work with AMD, just NVidia (455 non-beta driver)

Will give that a try

I can confirm that it indeed works! :)

Thanks for the tip @rustybroomhandle
Last step, compiling fresh vkd3d-proton and copying 64-bit version manually to ACV directory was mandatory and after that it started working.

Good luck @TuxThePenguin - it can be done, at least on Nvidia.

...although after playing a bit, some kind of timings seem to be off. The game plays slow. It's not frame rate, just everything seems slow compared to Windows on Geforce Now; did you notice anything similar?

Not sure. I did have something like this while vkd3d had logging enabled, but not since disabling that. It was not playable on Windows here because for some reason animations were glitching out, getting stuck in T-poses etc.

I did have some debugging enabled, but turning it off didn't improve things. Oh well. I'll wait for few days for things to settle and if it persists, I'll give it a deeper look.

Got it working using lutris

wine-tkg-staging-fsync-git-5.22.r2.g0ae73155-309-x86_64
vkd3d-proton git - build: 22794c67a4442af
NVidia Drivers 455.46.02

set the version of wine in lutris , disabled "dxvk/vkd3d" option in lutris so it will use the native one. and set it to use d3d12.dll native in winecfg

Tried it enough to benchmark high 50fps with my setup on medium/high settings. Will try actually playing it tonight.

Unfortunately after some testing benchmark works great, but crashes out when starting a game

Interesting. I've read the same report on reddit. Could you try beginning your game on geforce now (it can be done for free), and then attempt loading a save of a game already in progress on your local box?
