Reason for this meme is that some ubisoft titles are shipped with a broken version of ubisoft connect launcher. Installing these games is only possible by running the installer for the launcher again via protontricks.

It always reminds me that genshin is playable on Linux with proton (at least in 4.2, and I didn't even tested wine). It's just the launcher that doesn't work. They are just so close yet so far

It is fully playable? I play on Linux with HoyoPlay and I have absolutely no issues?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

I haven't booted it up since 4.2 but I do know I didn't had any issues. You just need to start from the game exe instead of the launcher

There's "an anime game" project to workaround the launcher and anti-cheat. Was fully playable when I used it a few months ago, but I did have to change to Proton GE or something else to fix some graphical glitches.

Also, no guarantee your account won't get banned.

AAGL, it works great, but 'going around the anti-cheat' is no longer true, since the mHyProtect is working just fine on Linux

Huh, since when? I did check the project wiki and it still says there's a workaround for anti-cheat, but whatever. Nice that it's working better on Linux since I last checked.

Since 4.6 or something like that, don't remember exact But the anti-cheat with even HoyoPlay is working fine on Linux, even ZZZ worked out of the box right on release
