Assassins Creed Origins (582160)

Under the games when clicking on play brings me the UPLAY login screen.

When adding my credentials always returns me error and I can not connect,

If anyone can simulate this scenario to see where exactly the error is, thank you.

Kubuntu 18.04

Hello @thaleslimao, please copy your system information from steam (Steam -> Help -> System Information) and put it in a gist, then include a link to the gist in this issue report.

Most likely the same issue as other uplay games.

Does game works without uplay login?

[Alexmitter]

@thaleslimao It is known that Proton does not contain a certain patch that is included in the current wine-staging, it fixes this Uplay bug.

@lieff No, Uplay also don't allow offline use of Uplay until you are logged in once.

[Alexmitter]

@kisak-valve is there any plan to include the Wine Patches in question to make Uplay login possible?

[jacobsandersen]

Is there a current workaround (force use of wine patches?)

[Alexmitter]

@simpleauthority For this, you would need to apply the patches to the source code and compile it yourself.

Today Proton 3.16 got released. Uplay now let you log in but fails at the "initialize" part were it once again tells you that it is unable to connect to Ubisoft Servers.
@kisak-valve are there any patches of 3.16 not included?

@Alexmitter You may need to do this to get it to fully work: #162 and then once that's done, uplay may ask you to install steam. If you let it (and in a different directory), the rest should work as expected.

[Alexmitter]

@d10sfan yes i can confirm those symlinks do help.

Symlink a recent libgnutls version solves the problem initializing Uplay, but when launching Origin is trying to find a Steam installation in Windows.

I have tried to bypass it by deleting Steam folder already exists under Program Files directory and installing the one Uplay trying to install.

After this Uplay can continue, download savedata on cloud and initialize the game. I can see the AC Origin process in processes tree using 6-10% CPU during 10 sec, so it seems is trying to load, but after these seconds, the process is killed.

@hsanchezv to work around Uplay looking for Steam - just pass some new directory to Windows Steam installer, DO NOT launch Steam automatically (just let Uplay put files in there) and it's enough - game will work. It's kind of stupid, that we're wasting ~400 MiB to download Windows Steam inside Windows Uplay inside Linux Steam, but at least it doesn't need to be started.
