AFOP from Ubisoft into Heroic
Hey y’all, is there a way to load AFOP from Ubisoft into Heroic? I bought it from there but can’t get the game to run from Ubisoft Connect on my Steam deck. Was wondering if there was a workaround since I already have the game downloaded

Oh hang on, you don't know how to add the game in the first place
genetic-orangeOP•2y ago
Bingo
Well uh, there's an "Add Game" button in the Library

I added the file and everything, it just keeps saying it can’t find the Ubisoft download cause I guess it’s routing around it but I can’t figure out how to add the (forgot the word give me a min)
Right, download the Ubisoft Connect installer, head to the game's settings, click "Run EXE on prefix" and select the installer you downloaded

Like when you go under the cogwheel for Steam, under launch options I had to write this long path script thing
"path script thing"?

Uhh yeah you don't need that in Heroic (it'll do that for you)
(You shouldn't need that in Steam either)

the game is in your Ubisoft account but not in heroic? try https://github.com/Heroic-Games-Launcher/HeroicGamesLauncher/wiki/How-to-install-Ubisoft-Connect-on-Linux-and-Mac#installing-option-1-standalone-launcher

first make sure you can actually run the ubisoft connect launcher from heroic and then the game all in desktop mode
then you can start trying to get the game added to steam
I'm not sure if they bought the game from the EGS in the first place
Sounded more like they were just using Ubisoft Connect

I bought the game directly from Ubisoft
genetic-orangeOP•2y ago
Am I missing the EXE on prefix?
Oh, you already have Ubisoft Connect installed
genetic-orangeOP•2y ago
Yep
And that's with the game added to Heroic?

No
Getting heroic back up I’ll show you hang on
Anddd I keep losing internet…. Lemme get home. It’ll be about 2 hours or so
I'd personally recommend the following:
- Download the Ubisoft Connect installer from their website
- Add a new game into Heroic, name it however you like, select Wine-GE-Latest as the Wine Version (if that's not in the dropdown, download it from the WIne Manager in Heroic), and click "Run installer first"
- Select the UC installer you downloaded and follow its instructions. Don't actually start / log into Ubisoft Connect, close anything opening after the installer
- Back in Heroic, click the folder icon in the "Select Executable" input and select (relative to where you're starting from)
drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Ubisoft/Ubisoft Game Launcher/UbisoftConnect.exe
- Click Finish, then launch the game you added. Ubisoft Connect should start up
- Install/import the game you want to play from within UC. Last time I checked, importing doesn't actually work, but telling it to install and then selecting your already-existent game folder will also import the files
Also, and I hope this is obvious but: Do this in Desktop Modegenetic-orangeOP•2y ago
Figuring that out now! Thank you! Be back in a few
Ok so I got all the way through to finish loading in and it just….. stopped. It’s what it does every time. And then it froze. Think this is more a «not compatible even on lowest settings» or still a Ubisoft issue?
Yeah now we'd need a game log (Sidebar "Settings" -> "Log", select your game in the list, click "Show log file in folder" and send the file into here)

Here ya go! Sorry had to login and everything to send it over lol
Looks like this is a vkd3d-proton issue. Might just have to wait for a bit (a couple days) for the developers to get the required patches in
genetic-orangeOP•2y ago
Ahh ok thank you!
rising-crimson•2y ago
It works ootb
For the developers
On RADV 23.3
(which is what you are using)
With that said good luck
And vkd3d-proton 2.11
Frame gen is grayed out tho
