In this video I cover how to install and play Ubisoft Connect games on Linux using Lutris, an universal game launcher.

Step 1. Install Latest GPU Driver.

I would recommend following the InstallingDrivers page of the Lutris wiki, which covers the installation of GPU drivers for both Nvidia and AMD hardware on Ubuntu, Arch and Fedora based distributions.
Once the driver is installed, reboot your system to finish the process.
Step 2. Install Wine.

I would recommend installing Wine by following the relevant sections on the WineDependencies page of the Lutris wiki as this covers the installation method used by Ubuntu, Arch and Fedora based distributions.
Step 3. Install Lutris.

Lutris can be installed on any Linux distribution, but the installation process will vary depending on your setup.
For example, Ubuntu based distributions can install Lutris using a deb installation package, whilst Arch based systems will typically install Lutris using the Terminal.
In short, choose the installation method that relates to your Linux distribution, and once the process has finished, launch Lutris.
Step 4. Install Ubisoft Connect.
Before installing the Ubisoft Connect client, click on the Wine tab on the left-hand side, more specifically the clipboard icon which will load up the Wine version management page.
On this page, confirm that you are running the latest build of lutris-GE-proton, as the Ubisoft Connect client frequently gets updated, which requires a newer version of lutris-GE-proton to run it.
To install Ubisoft Connect, click on the + symbol at the top left, choose the "Search the Lutris website for installers" option, and then search for "Ubisoft."
Click on the Ubisoft Connect only, and from here, it is a matter of following the installation process, but if you get a prompt to install Wine mono, confirm this.
Once installation has finished, click the close button.
Next, right click on the Ubisoft Connect entry, and navigate to the Runner options tab, and toggle off both Esync and Fsync, clicking the Save button to apply.
The reason for doing this, is that on first launch, the application will try to update, and if you do not disable these parameters, it will get stuck indefinitely on the patching process.
Unfortunately, every time there is an update, you will need to repeat this process.
At this stage, launch Ubisoft Connect, apply the update, sign into your account, make any changes to your preferences and then close the application.
At this stage, Ubisoft Connect is all configured, so re-enable Esync and Fsync, launch the application, and from there, download, install, and launch games as normal.
