How problematic is the Ubisoft launcher? - eviltoast

I’m looking to pick up South Park for my Deck.

How problematic is the Ubisoft launcher? I’m sure I read before that it can lock you out of games, more so when there are updates.

Does anyone have any experience with this? Were there workarounds?

    I have the South Park bundle from Steam. The Ubisoft launcher wasn’t an issue, more of a minor annoyance because you need to log into it every so often.

    A bigger issue is that both Stick of Truth and Fractured But Whole suffer from random freezes that require killing the game from the Steam Deck menu. It doesn’t appear to be universal, but other folks have said the same thing on ProtonDB. Tinkering with proton versions hasn’t fixed it for me yet.

    Ubi connect will not work offline, even if you login online once and then immediately take the deck into offline mode. Connect fails to launch the game.

    Experienced this while traveling last weekend.

      If you get all the way into the game then go offline I believe it still works. I’ll have to test again but I do recall being able to play without internet after resuming from sleep
