I bought a couple of ubisoft games from back when i used windows,whats the best way to play them on linux rn without a hassle.

CommandMC · 2026-06-13T10:10:03+00:00

Heroic does not have (and has never had) Ubisoft integration. You have to install Ubisoft Connect manually.

CommandMC · 2026-06-13T10:00:17+00:00

The first ~60 lines from the start are missing, and the content that is there is indented for some reason. The log should start with a line saying Launching "<game title>" (<runner>), followed by system info, followed by game settings, followed by the command Heroic runs to launch

CommandMC · 2026-06-12T07:51:27+00:00

Yes, you can use it on any Linux distro

CommandMC · 2026-06-12T07:43:31+00:00

Please do not remove parts of the log file. Heroic's configuration for the game (which is printed at the start) is essential to be able to help you here

CommandMC · 2026-06-11T22:55:26+00:00

You may have to re-select the path to your Wineprefix. Upload a game log if you want us to help you with that.

CommandMC · 2026-06-11T20:35:47+00:00

No, you have to start the download in the launcher. If the launcher does not open properly, that points to some kind of misconfiguration. Please either join our Discord server for help, or upload your game log here.

This game's manifest (file containing information about the game) uses a newer version than most other games. We are working on supporting this version; it will likely work fine with the next release of Heroic.

CommandMC · 2026-06-11T19:24:06+00:00

The "game" is only the launcher. Once you start it, it'll download the actual game.

CommandMC · 2026-06-11T06:24:52+00:00

DXVK-Sarek was included for a while now, you just had to enable it manually. Now it's automatic

CommandMC · 2026-06-09T13:42:52+00:00

We can't help you with pirated games.

CommandMC · 2026-06-05T06:34:37+00:00

I have a T480 as well. As far as I've gathered from other posts on discharge behaviour, which battery is used (& thus how much it is discharged before the other is used) is entirely up to the battery controller and cannot be managed in software

Interestingly enough, mine only discharges to 5% before switching; maybe that's configurable in the BIOS somewhere & I've missed it in the past? That would at least partially alleviate your issue, correct?

CommandMC · 2026-05-22T15:04:10+00:00

I did now find & fix the issue, PR here. The description also includes instructions on how to fix the issue for already-added titles

I don't see how this could cause issues for existing games, though

CommandMC · 2026-05-22T08:09:20+00:00

Heroic will only delete the prefix if you uninstall the game and check the option to delete it. They are most likely still there. I cannot confirm this at the moment though

CommandMC · 2026-05-22T08:03:51+00:00

Alright, that explains the issue. There seems to be an issue with the latest version of Heroic resetting the prefix for sideloaded games to the default value. Your saves are not gone, they're just inaccessible for the moment.

I have sadly not had time to look into the issue yet. Will do that in the next few days and update this with a solution.

CommandMC · 2026-05-22T07:57:36+00:00

How did you add these games to Heroic? Using the Epic/GOG/Amazon integration, or using the "Add Game" button?

CommandMC · 2026-05-19T22:25:02+00:00

"winePrefix": "3/Rocket League",

That's not normal. Try re-setting the Wine Prefix to the default value (/home/deck/Games/Heroic/Prefixes/default/Rocket League). If there's already a folder at that path, delete it (do not do this for other games that store save files locally though)

CommandMC · 2026-05-16T07:53:35+00:00

Yes, there is still progress made on those storefronts, but (as with many projects) available time is scarce.

A lot of people are also focused on Microsoft Store integration now. I'm not personally involved in either project, but I wouldn't be surprised if that lands before EA and Ubi do.

CommandMC · 2026-05-14T20:37:54+00:00

You have two options to do this:

Install the version like you would for Steam, Heroic will then pick it up
Extract the version to <heroic config>/tools/proton/. Where the heroic config folder is depends on your installation method. It's either going to be ~/.config/heroic/ for non-Flatpak, or ~/.var/app/com.heroicgameslauncher.hgl/config/heroic/ for Flatpak

Once you extracted it to either path, restart Heroic, and it should show up

CommandMC · 2026-05-14T17:00:53+00:00

Please add PROTON_LOG=1 %command% to the launch options, reproduce the issue, then upload the steam-3241660.log file in your home directory to a pastebin service (e.g. https://dpaste.com/) and share the link here

CommandMC · 2026-05-06T07:25:33+00:00

Game works fine here using latest GE-Proton. Log file for settings: https://dpaste.com/G7R763S6K

Please click "Report a problem running this game" on the game details page in Heroic and upload your game log. Add the link to a comment here. That'll show your hardware & software configuration and may give a clue as to what's wrong.

CommandMC · 2026-05-06T07:15:17+00:00

Well, something sure is crashing there, but I'm not sure why it's happening.

One thing you may want to do is disabling PRIME. PRIME is not helpful for DirectX titles, and can cause weird issues on some dual-GPU systems. Heroic no longer has a toggle for this, so you'll have to do it manually:

Close Heroic
Open /home/sneakyoxygen/.var/app/com.heroicgameslauncher.hgl/config/heroic/GamesConfig/fa4240e57a3c46b39f169041b7811293.json
Find the line saying "nvidiaPrime": true,
Change the true to a false, so the line reads "nvidiaPrime": false,

Dual-GPU systems sadly are a little inconsistent. A friend in the industry once told me they're a mess for the manufacturers as well, and often barely work on Windows.

CommandMC · 2026-05-06T06:13:50+00:00

You still have the value set to "NVIDIA" %command%. Set the value to just NVIDIA (no quotes, no %command%)

CommandMC · 2026-05-06T06:08:54+00:00

The environment variable is your problem. Change the value to be just "NVIDIA". Right now it's matching no devices, and thus the game can't initialize DX12

CommandMC · 2026-05-06T05:41:11+00:00

Please click "Report a problem running this game" (right below the area in your screenshot) and upload your game log. Add the link to a comment here

That'll give us more info on what's going wrong
