Using the Ubisoft Connect version, it fails to launch the D3D11 version with 'UseD3D11' set to '1' in GamerSettings.xml - it just hangs after launcher password input or with a spinning loading window. The issue seems to be because it's launching FC3Updater.exe, which doesn't work correctly. Workaround is to rename FC3Updater.exe to e.g. FC3Updater.exe.backup and create a symlink FC3Updater.exe pointing to fc3_d3d11.exe in the game's bin dir (can use Dolphin or 'ln -s' on command line). Ubisoft Connect will successfully launch D3D11 version after that.
D3D11 version runs pretty nicely with 50fps cap at 1080p external display (100hz), with Custom video settings, most set to High (apart from Water, Shadows, PostFX on Medium), no MSAA (seems expensive and not very effective here).
