Steam Deck Discussion

I bought the ubisoft assassin's creed bundle that includes all the assassin's creed games. I tried with all the games with the same result. I looked on YouTube for some help but using steamtinker launcher to use aurora will not let me get past that error that comes up. I appreciate your help with this matter. I am a very big noob to the modding world.

Please note that we are testing a new STEAM DECK update for Aurora in our PREVIEW CHANNEL.

Changelog 1.7.9 - PREVIEW

[+] STEAMDECK: Aurora and trainer settings are now saved in Aurora folder. You no longer have to setup Aurora from scratch for every new game

Sorry bud, this is going to take me longer to figure out. My method is no longer working with ubisoft.

I understand. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Have you tried extending the time before Aurora launches?
Try setting "Wait for Custom Command" to something long enough that the Ubisoft Launcher and game have fully launched.

I find that using that solves the majority of the issues I've had with launching Aurora alongside games.

Hey Damian, so I have an update. My method still works with the couple games I've tested and can't recreate what you are experiencing. I unfortunately don't have any of the newer AC games that have an Aurora app trainer. So for my tests I ran Breakpoint again which worked with aurora. I also tested Black Flag but that was bought in steam not in ubisoft store, it worked great. Then I tested AC:Origins with the standalone trainer which I was able to get it to see my game, but I couldn't get any of the cheats to activate eventhough I could hear the trainer say "activated." Still I'm not getting the error you describe. I would suggest either explaining step by step your process of how you are using ubisoft with the steam deck and aurora and then I can see if I can recreate it.
Or using Moraroy's nonsteamlauncher Link and seeing if his version of ubisoft connect is better. I remember having issues with a ubisoft installation where the screen kept flickering and I think the game didn't run but I dont know if it gave the error you described. So then I gave his a try and it worked.

Edit: I'm assuming all these games were bought on the uplay/ubisoft store and not on steam. And that is how I've been trying to solve your issue. If these games were bought on steam then the solution could be easier.

Edit2: Ran some tests on different proton versions and got the error you described on 7-35 and 7-38, got blank screens on 7-58, 8-4, 8-6
Looking like your issue is proton related. Install the latest proton using Protonup-QT, should be 8-14, restart your steam deck or it could cause issues in STL or steam. On STL click on "Main menu" "game menu" then scroll down to where it says "Proton Options" change the version to 8-14, this would be defaulted to an older version.

Could have solved this sooner if I didn't misread your message. This whole time I thought you meant games on ubisoft store. Sorry for the long wait to a solution.

When I try to play the game like odyssey I have to launch ubisoft connect launcher first then sign in. That's OK. Then I have to go back while ubisoft is still going and launch the game. I go thru the steamticker launcher ok then save and play with aurora exe. After that then the game crashes with the error Ubisoft Connect has detected an unrecoverable error and must shut down.”

Hi so I linked the aurora to my game daymare 1994 sandcastle
When it opens the aurora says daymare is active
When I click on the favorited game
It still says active
When I click use trainer
It says game.not loaded
I press f1 it's just flickers it doesnt change

When I click load game it says error game already loaded
