I really wish somebody would post a guide on how to compile MESA for Ubuntu and other distros. I know guides exist but I have never gotten it to work properly. I can compile SDL2, Kernel, Proton for Steam and a few others but MESA has never worked. Obviously, if I do manage it someday then I will post a guide myself.

Quoting: Liam DaweThe article tells you the one to use….UbisoftConnect.exe.

Almost! Yes, I tried the UbisoftConnect.exe and thought it had to be wrong because it wasn't working but I'm not using Steam Deck, I'm using Ubuntu 22.04. Thanks for the guide. I'll keep poking around.

Which game launcher? There are a few .exe files here.

UbisoftGameLauncher64.exe?
UbisoftGameLauncher.exe?
UbisoftConnect.exe?
upc.exe?

I installed the latest and greatest. Now Steam Play runs Windows games in Linux better than they run in Windows. I know that seems crazy but I noticed it in No Man's Sky. The stary scene at the beginning use to stutter and now it doesn't. The game itself seems to run more smoothly.

He complains that Windows development was a lot of work. 4 full time devs for 3 months just on problems with Windows and he argued Linux was worse. I don't know, I compiled a game for Linux using SDL2 and it has always been very stable across every GPU that I through at it. Other much more complicated games run on Linux flawlessly. He also argued that nobody would buy the game- but I won't buy it because it's Windows only. There are way too many Linux supported games. A Windows-only game has to be really, really good for me to buy it. Chances are, I won't until it drops down to $5-8 dollars.
