Ubisoft just broke their games on Linux desktop and Steam Deck

On Windows the Ubi Connect app is still running here.
Maybe a bad interaction of their antidebugger virtual machine protection and wine :grin:

Wine 8.0 is out now with major compatibility improvements

Quoting: KohlyKohlI was playing Warcraft III in 2002 with Wine and World of Warcraft in 2004. I think it has come a long way, though, it was already a great project even in the early 2000s.
WoW without DXVK still looks kind of funny , even these days :grin:
Hopefully with the next cycle they can improve their default rendering. Games like Mafia 3 are pitch black :)

It would be cool if people joined the incredible taskforce that heroic has to bring more goodies like Battle.net, EA, Ubi or MS Game Pass to the people on Linux and the Steam Deck :heart:

Quoting: mr-victoryParadox has already a Linux launcher, the 2nd version.
Then we can skip that and go directly to various other secondary and primary stage launchers.

Quoting: XpanderCan we please have less launchers in 2023! thanks
i would stress the fact that we need them to be optional and less intrusive so they don't break the user experience on hardware like the steam deck.

I don't like the outlook of everything being released on one store only like Steam.
Monopoly isn't good for the enduser.

On the bright side, i am sure that the Heroic Launcher Team will be trying to make this easier for users like Lutris Playnite and Gamehub already do in a different way.

Microsoft and VMware to release a DirectX backend for Mesa.

Nvidia to go all in with an Opensource Driver with full reclocking for older generations like Maxwell.
Device Manufacturers from IOT over Smartphones, Components to Computers to develop Upstream first and push their stuff directly to mesa or Linux mainstream kernel instead of closed source drivers or Forks.

Activision, Ubi, 2k& Firaxis, Paradox releasing Linux launchers.

Open Source Launchers from all Publishers.
Its Electron and JSON anyway :whistle:

Activision releasing Wow, Hearthstone and Overwatch as non wrapped Linux Native games with Vulkan renderers.
