SteamDeck

[SittingDuck]

I know FC5 is listed as not SteamDeck supported, but has anyone actually tried and got it to work? If so, how does it play? I've been able to get some games to run on the SteamDeck even though they're not officially supported.

I own it on Epic, but would love to play it on my SteamDeck so am considering buying it again on Steam while it's on sale. But I'd like to hear from the community whether it actually works.

PS. know I can make it work through Epic and SteamDeck's desktop mode, but it's a pain. I've already bought Hitman 3 again just to play it on my SteamDeck to have a seamless experience and am willing to do that for FC5 while it's cheap.

Update: After purchasing FarCry 5 from Steam and getting it running. I tried playing it on the SteamDeck through the Ubisoft Connect and it works just as well as it does if you buy it directly from steam. I followed the directions on this page: https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2022/03/ubisoft-connect-on-steam-deck-guide-with-sd-card-access/

Since it played so well, I ended up returning the steam version since I already owned it on Ubisoft through Epic.

Once you get Ubisoft Connect installed on your SteamDeck installing and running games is really simple. You don't even need to be in desktop mode once it's installed. I'm actually considering trying out Ubisoft+ (their monthly subscription that is like MS GamePass) to see if I can play Far Cry 6 on my SteamDeck.

I was having issues launching the game on Manjaro. Is launching it any different on SteamOS? I get error UPlay PC not found

Hello! Were you able to try Ubisoft+ on steam deck? I'm thinking of doing the same but haven't seen anyone try it. Thanks!

Yes, see the link I put in my post it has instructions on how to do it. But the gist is you just need to install Usbisoft+ in desktop mode and then add it as an external app in Steam. Then when you run it, it takes you to the Ubisoft landing page where you can install and run games in your Ubisoft library.

Then in Steam mode, you can run it and see your library and launch your installed game.

The only caveat is since to Steam you're only running the Ubisoft+ app the controller settings you customize affects all your games installed and run through Ubisoft+. So if you make a change for one game, it will affect all the other games.

Wow, this sounds terrible. I guess I'll just pass on getting it for now.

Hopefully Ubisoft will one day fix their games on the Steam Deck.

I mean, it works. It's better than Epic or GamePass on the steam deck in that it actually works and is more or less seamless. But I totally understand why you wouldn't want to jump through the hoops.

Yeah, there's no point when I have a huge backlog that keeps increasing faster than my ability to deal with it.
