For reference, I run Ubisoft Connect on Lutris on Linux Mint 22.1 Cinnamon (6.4.8) and then I run my game inside of it, and I haven't used it for like the past week. Yesterday, when I tried running UC, it started to update itself, which if pretty normal so I just left it for about 5 minutes. However, after the update it stopped working, and gave me the error in post title. A little web search told me this was actually a pretty common issue when dealing with UC updates, both on Windows and Lutris, so I tried out all the potential solutions I could find, but none of them seem to have worked.

Also, for reference, my actual technical knowledge on how Wine works is pretty limited, my gaming setup was mostly my friend's doing (he uses Arch btw ;) and I resort to using ChatGPT to solve problems when they are non-trivial, which is what I did in this case.

Here's what I tried:

1. Based on Ubisoft's own help page for this error, I cleaned the AppData folder, which corresponds to ~/Games/ubisoft-connect/drive_c/users/USER/Appdata/Local/UbisoftGameLauncher. Did not work: I got the same error on starting UC. I did shut down Lutris and restart it just to be safe.

2. I have been running wine version wine-ge-8-26-x86_64, and, based on a Lutris forum post, I downloaded and tried using lutris-GE-Proton8-26-x86_64, and also tried the previous fix with this. Did not work.

3. I tried changing the wine prefix to ~/Games/ubisoft-connect-test/ in case this was an issue with the wine configuration. Did not work.

4. Based on ChatGPT, I also tried running this command to install necessary scripts in case they hadn't been installed: WINEPREFIX=~/Games/ubisoft-connect-test WINE=wine-ge-8-26-x86_64 winetricks -q corefonts vcrun2019 Did not work.

5. I tried installing the game launcher itself via Lutris' website (Trackmania 2020, for reference). Did not work. I got the exact same error as the title.

6. I tried uninstalling Ubisoft Connect and tried re-installing it multiple times via different ways: installer from Lutris' website, exe file from Ubisoft's website, installing it via Wine, installing it via Wine on Lutris. Nothing worked. I also tried fix number 1 with each installation, but it didn't work.

After wasting around a day on this, I have kind of given up. The rest of my games on Lutris (i.e. non-UC games) work fine on their old settings, including the old wine version. All my system software and my kernel are up-to-date.

I've decided to wait it out for a week or two, until UC updates again I guess. This post is less of a "Help wanted" and more of a "Has anyone else been facing this issue?", to get to the bottom of this. I will, of course, try any potential fixes, but I'm not too hopeful at this point; and besides, I'm not TOO bummed out that I cannot access my Ubisoft game: I only played it casually from time to time, and I have other games to keep me occupied lol.

With that said, any help is certainly much appreciated.

Hi, I ran some test on my (admittedly gpu weak) laptop (16gb ram and i7) and I noticed that games run way worse on linux proton than windows, for example ps1 looking games with very potato graphics are stable 60 on win and struggle to stay on even 50/40 with graphical glitches and flickering textures on proton, even after running perf mode and gamemode via the command. Games that have a native linux version don't have these issues, so I think something is going terribly wrong between my pc and proton, I usually use 9-0-4 because any othef version either has no difference or doesn't start at all. I'm not great at tech so idk if this is even proton's fault, but I can't think of anything else... thanks in advance!

For context I have two monitors (this is where I think the issue is), a 4k monitor on the side and a 1440p monitor which is my main monitor for gaming (also the main monitor registered). I am on Fedora with Gnome, I was on arch before but with bf6 coming up soon, I decided to switch to Fedora, as well as for the stability and the "It just works" philosophy (which honestly, for now fedora is a way worse experience than arch). I never encountered this issue on Arch, also using Gnome and Wayland.

So when I launch a game, the game will launch in a very big resolution 5120x2880p. When I manually change the resolution to 1440p, the game will appear in the bottom left corner and nothing can be clicked, so I cannot change the resolution back up most of the time.

I have tried gamescope, I have many issue with it, mainly when the game has a launcher, it also scales the launcher (this is a ok price to pay), it always launches the game on the wrong monitor, even if I specify gamescope which monitor to launch on. And I get performance hit, sometimes getting half the FPS.

On another note, I don't know if Valve f up the last CS2 update, or is just Fedora, but the game is extremely laggy and I get huge drops compared to arch. Some maps like Nuke or Overpass are literally unplayable.

I really want this to work out, I don't want to switch back to arch, and even less so to Windows, but this is very frustrating.

AMD R7 5800x3D, RX 6750xt, 16GB DDR4, I plan to upgrade my CPU, MOBO and RAM around Christmas for a R7 7800x3D, 32GB DDR5

I can't believe how much better Linux is now comparing to what it was just few years ago.
Wow.
I love it.

Is it just me or Linux itself is almost like gaming? So fun.

I've picked Gentoo because few people told me it's not for me. I would probably stick to Bazzite otherwise.

For a bit of background, I've started trying out all my (1000+) games to see how good each one is. I figured that if I have all these games I might as well give them all about 5 minutes of playtime to see which ones are actually good.

Throughout it all, most games just work with no tinkering at all and no thought required. If there are any issues, then Proton-GE is a few basic clicks away. Needing to go to ProtonDB is very rare, and the solution is usually just copy/paste from one of the recent posts.

It is very rare that I have to put much effort into getting these to run, boring even, and that is Incredible.

Edit: Running CachyOS with a Nvidia GPU

Can someone guide me on changing the port for evdevhook2 or steamdeckgyroDSU

https://github.com/v1993/evdevhook2 : Evdevhook2

https://github.com/kmicki/SteamDeckGyroDSU :SDGDSU

I am a completely and utter noob when it comes to Linux/konsole, there’s zero guides on how to do this since this is such a niche thing so this is my last resort. The Steamdeckgyro DSU website says something about changing ports but I have no idea on how to do it.

Really hope one of yall can help I’d really appreciate it!!!

I would like to ask if there is someone here who already played Dragon Ball FIghterZ. I am encountering issue where it shows goku face on launch then after that it goes black screen. I used latest proton-ge for launching it. Any fix for this? Although I downloaded it on fitgirl so i dont know if thats the issue.

Do any of you have experience with running really old games on Proton? I tried importing the original Driver to Steam, the first serious game of my childhood. After trying different Proton versions, I could run the installer, found the location of the config program and game and managed to get it running. I use the original CD-ROM. The game has cut scenes, but doesn't install them by default. You only see them if you play with the CD or copy them the folder with the (uncompressed) video files to the installation drive. However, when I copied them over, there's no sound and the videos look like this:

Intro video

CPU: Ryzen 5 3600

GPU: Radeon RX 590

RAM: 32 GB

OS: Debian 13

Proton version: 9.0-4

Any idea what's happening here would be appreciated.Any idea what's happening here would be appreciated. Thanks in advance

Okay, so I know that my pc is very old and sucks, but it should meet the minimum requirements for phasmo.

I have a Xeon E3 1275 Sandy Bridge, an RX 480, SSD, 20GB Ram. It's an old Thinkstation E30.
My problem is, that the game runs smoothly when I look around, but every few seconds the game freezes and there is lots of disk activity. When the game unfreezes, it's again very smooth. Also, while freezing, Ubuntu will show me a dialogue box saying the app has frozen and asks if I'd like to quit or wait.

Is this some linux / proton issue or does my PC just suck too much in general?
I could try it on Windows 10 to see if it runs any better, the FPS aren't the problem, the freezing is just unbearable.

Hi I couldn't launch the game in vulkan so I used PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1

it launches alright https://imgur.com/XhhWj3X

and splashes alright https://imgur.com/m41uOos

then we see the first the visual glitch in the main menu https://imgur.com/MrWNq5w

and it gets worse in game https://imgur.com/Qy4wc3c

I've seen 2 others on protondb with the same issue and they both have an amd gpu

I've tried different proton versions (ge, experimental, 9) and even different amd drivers (radeon, pro) with and without the above steam launch command (without it the game wouldn't launch, and with it I'd get the white textures)

any help is appreciated, thanks!

Hey guys. So, similar to the issue I was having in Borderlands 3, Bright Memory is also cutting out at very inopportune times and making the game pretty much unplayable. This time, however, adding PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 %command% to launch options does not solve the problem and in fact may even make it worse. Again, I've tried different screen resolutions, different versions of Proton. I'm actually stuck using GE-Proton9-27 due to some graphical issues I have with newer versions. Coloured test patterns where there should be graphics. The game gives you different versions of DirectX to launch with and I've tried them all to no avail.

Does anyone have any suggestions? Again, I'm running CachyOS KDE.

Hey everyone, I'm new to Linux and have an issue I'm hoping you can help me with. I'm running Bazzite from an external M.2 SSD in an enclosure. I've set up a shared partition formatted as exFAT so I can access my games from both Windows and Linux. This is super convenient for games that I prefer to play on Windows, like GTA V, and others that run well on Linux.

However, I've run into a consistent problem: whenever I'm on Linux, I get "disk write errors" on Steam, especially when a game needs an update. Sometimes, even if there's no update, I'll click "Play," Steam will say the game is running, but it never launches. This only happens on Linux, not on Windows.

I've already tried a few things, but nothing seems to stick. I suspect it might be a permissions issue with how Linux handles the exFAT partition. I've heard that using NTFS can sometimes be a workaround, but I'm hesitant to reformat my drive without understanding the root cause.

Any advice on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!
