Bundled Ubisoft Connect was not found. Needed to add Ubisoft Connect as non-steam game to steam and link path in launch command.
Steam was unable to install and execute the bundled Ubisoft Connect (missing 32 bit libraries). I needed to add Ubisoft Connect as a non-steam application to steam and link its compat path in the games launch command.
- Download Ubisoft Connect Installer
- Add it to Steam as non-steam game.
- Execute and Install Ubisoft Connect.
- Change the link target of the installed Ubisoft Connect in steam to
"/home/<user>/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/3713863880/pfx/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Ubisoft/Ubisoft Game Launcher/UbisoftConnect.exe"and the "run in" path to"/home/<user>/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/3713863880/pfx/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Ubisoft/Ubisoft Game Launcher"(Mention the"in the path. The ID3713863880is different for you.) - Rename the "game" to "Ubisoft Connect", run it and verify that you can login into your Ubisoft Account.
- Use the installed link target path from 4. in the Anno 1800 launch option
STEAM_COMPAT_DATA_PATH="your_path" %command%. - Run Anno 1800. The game should now find your manually installed Ubisoft Connect.
My old savegames where synced by Ubisoft Connect and are located in the compatdata of the manually installed Ubisoft Connect (not in the Anno 1800 path), e.g. /home/<user>/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/3713863880/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/Documents/Anno 1800/accounts.
After Ubisoft Connect was linked the game itself runs flawless with maxed settings.
-provider Portal -nodelta -mapLoadinfo
Changed DPI to 144 in winecfg to better scale on a 4K monitor. This caused flickering in the game launcher that stops if the laucher window is moved.
Needed to use -provider Portal to play with Arenanet account on steam. Had to use -nodelta to prevent the laucher from getting stuck while downloading. The game runs with maxed settings on stable 60 fps almost all of the time.
Runs flawless after disabling the steam overlay.
Crash with Steam Overlay, Crash on Game Exit
Steam Overlay must be disabled to reach the main menu. The game crashes on exit and shows an error report window. I also disabled crossplay. No account connection to the EPICS Game Store needed for singleplayer. The game itself runs flawless in Quality Mode at 60 fps with DLSS.
