If it helps I played AC Odyssey w/o issues using Proton GE, the biggest issue for me was that when I launched the game through steam, steam would launch the Ubisoft launcher which then launched the game , so I had to manually close this launcher to prevent having proton running in the bg for too long

It's been a while since I gamed though (2022), but the game ran smoothly on a mobile RTX 2060 card

The launcher is a bit annoying at times but what finally made me commit ot the switch was when I realized that Anno 1800 and the demo for Anno 117 were running flawlessly.

I also recently finished AC Origins for the first time on my Linux machine.

However I don't play multiplayer ever and apparently that's where most issues are.

Was the demo through Steam or through Ubisoft Connect launcher?

I'm a huge Anno fan and I play Anno 1800 like all the time. I own that game on the Ubisoft platform. If Anno 117 runs flawlessly, I maybe will cancel the preorder on ubisoft and get it on Steam...

I think typically the problem with Ubisoft is dealing with their launcher.
