1 year ago Steamdeck user here. Thanks so much for proton and freeing us of the shackles of microsoft :P
Still not able to run the game 4 years later. I've tried bascially every proton version and at least the past 5 steam deck OS updates.
Not sure if it's the exact same issue as the one above but the outcome is the same. My anecdotal evidence is that the game open, the ubisoft launcher opens and completes and then the game hangs with a black screen.
When you try the demo version of the game the game runs perfectly, which would lead me to believe that the problem is EasyAntiCheat as there's no online capabilities in the demo version. However, maybe that's not the case as the release notes for proton 7 suggest maybe not? Or maybe this is something outside the possibility of proton and it lies with either RedLynx or Ubisoft. I've tried tweeting them but never get a response.
Either way here's some details and logs.
