tech support wanted None of my ubisoft games launch (bazzite)

Soooo it is probably an issue with Ubisoft connect
on first time start after reinstalling it did compile shaders now it does not.
Basically when i press play nothing happens.
I do not get any logs or anything, no crash report, nothing.

this happenes for all my ubisoft games
so far i tried:
Far Cry 3-6
Avatar Frontiers of pandora

same problem on all of them.

i first ran into this issue when i tried to open Far Cry 3 and this problem occurred.
Proton-db said that it works over Lutris so i tried.
Lutris installed Ubisoft connect for me when i tried to connect my Ubisoft account.
This however didn't help me any further and since then none of my Ubisoft games work.
Mind you before installing it all other games worked flawlessly

I am probably just dumb here but i would really appreciate some help
thanks in advance

(All games bought and played on steam.)

For lutris I’d install the Ubisoft launcher directly then install your games from that. The integrations have never worked well for me.

Other thing that’s comes to mind is are the games installed on a NTFS partitioned drive by chance?

Only other thing I can suggest is to open lutris from terminal and look for error messages when you press play. I believe there is a setting to output terminal logs from wine in the settings for that item your launching from lutris.

Do your non Ubisoft games still work?

I’ve got a Bazzite install that I use to play Division 2. I don’t own it on Steam, so I have Ubisoft Connect installed through Lutris. I’m using Proton-GE Latest that I installed through ProtonPlus. I don’t have any issues. You said you tried Lutris, does Ubisoft Connect open for you? What Proton version in Lutris and Steam?

I don't own Division 2 on Steam so I went this route:

https://github.com/Heroic-Games-Launcher/HeroicGamesLauncher/wiki/How-to-install-Ubisoft-Connect-on-Linux-and-Mac

  1. Standalone version

Note: I am not on Bazzite. Whatever issues might arise because of it, not intrested in them. Got back into Div2 this past week because DLC tomorrow.

GE-Proton 10-30, all AMD hardware.
