Steam Deck: Ubisoft Connect - Install, Separate Game Launchers, Artwork & MUCH MORE! (2024 Edition)
70This is the complete deluxe edition of my Ubisoft Connect installation tutorial!
No more jumping to sub-videos; fully updated with all the latest tricks and tips.
We will help you configure Dolphin, use centralized game storage to protect your game installs and teach you how to make stand alone steam entries so you can you use multiple proton versions, specialized controls on a per game basis and more.
Note: This is a longer video because I've combined several other smaller support videos - this video is about not only "doing" but "teaching" as well.
This is intended to play games purchased from Ubisoft - not Steam. If you do not own Ubisoft Connect games purchased from them, this video may not apply to you. If you own 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. Of course, you can reach out to me via Discord https://discord.monroeworld.com
