Cant get Assassin's Creed Unity to download onto wineprefix
Trying to get ACU to download directly onto the wineprefix to make modding easier, but it simply does not work. It seems as if Heroic gets confused at the name of the file.
I download the game and set the install path to /home/masanuvi/.local/share/wineprefixes/Assassins Creed Unity/dosdevices/c:/Program Files (x86)/Ubisoft/Ubisoft Game Launcher/games
It creates a new folder in there called "AssassinsCreedUnity", but when I launch, Ubisoft gets confused and downloads a completely separate folder taking up another 50gb called "Assassin's Creed Unity"
I delete the weird Heroic one to save space, but then Heroic cannot recognize it and asks if I should remove it.

I understand you now have the game downloaded by Ubisoft Connect inside the prefix and the heroic one says it's not available, right?
try this:
- click play in heroic, it will tell you the game is not available and if you want to remove it from the list, say yes
- then click install > import and pick the game folder that was created by Ubisoft Connect
I think you can also go to the game details page in heroic > 3-dots menu > change install folder, I think you can then pick the game install dir from inside the prefix, but I've never used that feature so I'm not sure

thank you for the response, now whenever I start the game, it opens and gets past ubisoft connect then to the little title loading screen before everything opens, but it suddenly closes and the logs continue to run like this
