Problems with Steam Deck and EAC/Division 2

[Soldner42]

I hope someone can help me.

I dont own The Divison 2 on Steam, but on UbiConnect.

UbiConnect is running mostly flawless on my Deck, i have installed Assassins Creed Odyssey, Origins and others without a Problem and am able to Play with without issues.

But the Division 2 gives me Headaches.
It is not possible for me to start the Game, even after the newly released Patch for EAC which enabled Linux Support.

My Deck always loads EAC and shortly before its finished the Window closes and reopens again the thus the loading begins from the start. And this happens forever.
I tried reinstalling UbiConnect.
Reinstalling the Division 2.
And also tried repairing and reinstalling EAC.

Nothing worked so far and it frustrates me. I would love to be able to play the Divison 2 on the get go.

I would have never imagined how some Games are awesome while being outside.
Diablo2 Resurrected is a blast.
Fallout 76 really nice.
Valheim, awesome.

And i would love to try Division 2 but it just wont work.

Anyone out there who can help me please?

The last I checked for that game, you had to do one of two things:

* Disable DX12 via configuration file
* Use the latest GE Proton which has DX12 support that works for The Division 2

Mh. there might be already the Problem.
I searched for the File to disable DX12, which is state.cfg which should be located in "User/Steamuser/Documents/My Games/Tom Clancy's The Divison 2"

But neither the File, nor the Folder "My Games" in Documents, exist.
And at that Point i dont know why.

This makes me question why and what i did possibly wrong.


I downloaded the UbiConnect Application.
Added the Application to Steam as a Foreign App, installed it that way, searched for it in Compdata and added there the UbiConnect Launcher.exe and installed from there all the other Games.

Did i do anything wrong or am i missing something?

The game may have not gotten to the point where the files are create.

You have downloaded the Proton EasyAntiCheat Runtime? I would try forcing the latest GE Proton and trying that first. If that works, that would be the easiest path. Unfortunately, most of the non-recent (i.e. non-Steam versions) Division 2 videos used Windows to get it to work.

Steam didnt Notify me about your Comment.. wow.

Well, i tried it back then as some YouTube Tutorial also mentioned this. But this didnt help either. I just gave up on it. But thank you nonetheless.

seemingly not.
The only thing that helped me partially was to Buy this Game on Steam again and Install it via Steam. But there i also have many Problems.
Like, the Steam Deck or the Game itself freezing when doing Seasonal Events or Group relatex things. Really weird thing.
