When I tried changing the target directory in Uplay so it’d download Assasin’s Creed to ~/Games/, it told me there’s not enough space (and reported some randomly small capacity), although that „fake“ c:\ drive was ok for it even though it’s in ~/.wine/, so it’s the same drive. Wine creates some kind of a „fake“ NTFS c:\ drive in your ~/.wine/ directory to fool the Windows apps, Lutris downloads stuff like Uplay to ~/Games/uplay and Uplay downloads the games that aforementioned Wine directory. Download directory for Uplay gamesīe careful when changing a download location of a game. I didn’t encounter any of these issues so I can’t offer any solution here. Note: Many people on Reddit and elsewhere reported they haven’t been able to launch it or login. When it launches, login and you should see your games.
Be patient, it’s not the fastest thing in the world. In Lutris, search for „uplay“ and install it.Īfter Uplay is installed, launch it. Search your apps in the Ubuntu launcher, find Lutris, and launch it. $ sudo apt install lutris Launch Lutris and install UplayĪnd you’re done (with the preparations, at least).
Now, it’s time to install Lutris, the FOSS game manager for Linux-based operating systems.Īdd a repo with the latest version, update apt repos, and install: $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:lutris-team/lutris $ sudo apt install -install-recommends winehq-staging Install Lutris Update your apt repos and install Wine along with its recommended packages: $ sudo apt-add-repository 'deb focal main' Then change the directory to some download folder of yours, download the signing key for the Wine repository and add it to your apt: $ wget -nc Īdd the Wine repository to your system (replace „focal“ with the version of Ubuntu you’re using – here’s a list). Use the staging version instead of the stable one to get the newer (albeit less tested) build.įirst, enable 32-bit architecture (as the Ubisoft games at least behave like 32-bit apps): $ sudo dpkg -add-architecture i386 Install Wine (staging)įirst, install Wine, the Windows emulation software that enables Windows apps to run on Linux OS’s. I managed to accomplish this using this guide so kudos goes to its creators (although it leads to using GOG which we don’t actually need). It’s surprisingly easy to get it working on Ubuntu 20.04. There are Wine and Lutris and the combination of these makes it possible to play even Assassin’s Creed Odyssey on Ubuntu. But it’s 2020 and the Internet’s mighty FOSS developers made big progress in place of Ubisoft. Ubisoft refuses to acknowledge Linux OS’s as a platform for gaming so they don’t port their software to Linux.
