Ubi’s launcher and EA app, are the only ones that keep forgetting my login info, forcing me to painstakingly go to my email to authorize this brand new device (my own PC) every few weeks.
Anything that isn’t Steam works like shit on Linux (mileage may vary, but that’s my experience). I find it hilarious and sad that I can get a better experience by pirating it and launch through Lutris.
The Lutris launcher has helped me successfully play purchased Ubisoft games well. It sucks to rely on third party tools, but that’s much of what Linux is based around.
That’s another thing I always wondered about, gaming on Linux.
I always thought of Linux of a tweaker/programmer kind of platform that isn’t much into gaming. Much like Apple being for creatives, music and Adobe. Even though all that runs fine on Windows too. That gaming on either is an entirely optional at-your-own-risk kind of deal, since a lot of games don’t support Linux/Mac natively anyway.
If one wants to play games a lot, why not simply get a Windows PC? Or a console for that matter.
No offense, but I always felt like wanting to game on Linux or Mac is just handicapping oneself.
because windows is doing everything in their power to ruin their OS with privacy violations and ads. I would switch to Linux yesterday if my favorite games worked on it.
I’m legitimately wondering what’s so incredibly bad about the Ubi launcher that people hate it so much?
I’m not a fan of each brand having their own thing, I’d rather have everything in my Steam library or some other universal launcher (not GOG).
But I never had issues with Ubi’s launchers, despite having played a lot of Ubi games on there.
Why not GOG?

I remember both doing the same for me a long time ago. But I’ve not had the issue since their new launchers dropped I believe.
