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.
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.
I don’t have Steam Deck but I have experience with UConnect, and it’s easily the worst 3rd party launcher out of the others. Constantly saying that I have no internet connection despite it working very well, I can’t even launch games because of it.
I have more problems with it than any other launcher. Most of the time the it works - but even then it takes some time to connect to the Ubisoft servers. However, you can never be sure that Ubisoft games work when you need them. Sometimes there are crashes and connection problems when starting a game. Sometimes an update breaks the launcher for several days. I also had performance problems & crashes due to the launcher overlay (had to deactivate them in Desktop mode).
It is a hassle. So much that I deleted most Ubisoft games from my wishlist.

Experienced this while traveling last weekend.

How often does that happen? Might be a bit of a deal breaker for me.
I played through stick of truth without freezes. Had no issues at all.
Thanks for the reply! Will pick it up.
