NonSteamLaunchers-On-Steam-Deck VS UPLAY_GAME_ID

May not be as popular as heroic but I use nonsteamlauncher ( https://github.com/moraroy/NonSteamLaunchers-On-Steam-Deck ) and it works fine for me. Follow the instructions or youtube it and its pretty straight forward. Other users have mentioned you will be adding GOG to your steam library (you can just right-click from the desktop mode in the applications area now and select add-to steam) Then you'll go back in to steam mode and launch GOG from there. then it works as normal. Can't attest to cloud saves but since you are just running GOG I'd HOPE it worked, even if you don't need it others may.

Use this utility and install Uplay as a non steam game. You can download all Uplay games there and start them via the launcher.

A week ago I stumbled over this https://github.com/moraroy/NonSteamLaunchers-On-Steam-Deck

It looks daunting but thankfully there's this repo here that made the whole process insanely simple, just install the launcher, install the game, and then play https://github.com/moraroy/NonSteamLaunchers-On-Steam-Deck

Here you go brother, let me know how it goes https://github.com/moraroy/NonSteamLaunchers-On-Steam-Deck I just updated last night as well

Here is a list of uPlay/Ubisoft GameIDs.

So I'm trying to add AC:M as a non-steam shortcut. I installed it through Ubisoft Connect and then added it as a non-steam shortcut, but in order to get it to launch without first opening up the connect launcher I have to add the launch option "uplay://launch/GAMEID/0" under the launch options. The problem is I can't find the game ID anywhere. I usually use this GitHub page to find the game ID but understandably enough since the game just came out it hasn't been added yet.

Valhalla is 13504 so uplay://launch/13504/0 list of other codes

I found a solution. Once you get the game showing in Lutris, you have to right click it, then go to Configure > Game options and there is a textbox for arguments that says something like uplay://launch/some random string. In that space after the launch/ part, you need to input the proper game id for that game. Here is a link containing Ubisoft Game ids. just put the number after launch. for example, this was mine for Assassin's Creed Odyssey: uplay://launch/5059

In the launch option add "uplay://launch//0" (no quotes) Go here if you don't know the game ID - https://github.com/Haoose/UPLAY_GAME_ID

The game ID might be something other than 720. Consult this list of ids: https://github.com/Haoose/UPLAY_GAME_ID

Add UbisoftConnect.exe as non-Steam game again. Right click on your shortcut in Steam and change the name to the game you want to start with this shortcut. Now look for the game id at https://github.com/Haoose/UPLAY_GAME_ID Now you need to add the start option (right-click on your shortcut in Steam; the text field at the bottom) and add

IDs can be found here https://github.com/Haoose/UPLAY_GAME_ID

This is just a PSA that if you use something like Lutris OR Boilr to import your Steam Games then you're going to want to change the default launch params/arguments to uplay://launch/*gameID*/0 (list of UPLAY Game IDs on this Github)
