Steam Deck: Ubisoft Connect Install and Configure (New for 2023)

A NEW UPDATE HAS CAUSED THE NON-STEAM GAMES “TARGET“ and “START IN“ TO FAIL TO ADD QUOTES AROUND THEM. ADD A DOUBLE QUOTE TO THE START AND END OF EACH LINE - See this video: Note: If this doesn’t appear to work for you, change your Steam Deck’s channel back to STABLE from BETA or PREVIEW. In this video, we’ll show you how to install the Ubisoft Connect digital locker/launcher, configure it to install games to the proton prefix, internal storage or external storage - and we’ll show you a few settings you’ll want to change. A mouse and keyboard (at LEAST a keyboard) is highly recommended for this tutorial. It would also speed things up if you watched my Dolphin Tricks and Tips 2023 video and configured Dolphin with it as the file manager needs some tweaks to be useful. NOTE: This is intended to play games purchased from Uplay - not Steam. If you do not own Uplay Connect games purchased from Uplay, this video may not apply to you. If you own one the game on Steam? Install it from Steam. Remember, youTube lets you slow down the video if I’m moving too fast and you can always replay any segment that you’re puzzled on.
