Using UPlay

[DanKegel]

The recommended way to install UPlay is to get the latest winetricks (20130624),
then to do 'winetricks uplay'. You can then use the desktop icon to start uplay.

(Or, if you like commandlines, put the following in your .bashrc:

prefix() {
export WINEPREFIX="$HOME/.local/share/wineprefixes/$1"
}

goc() {
cd $WINEPREFIX/drive_c
}

and then (after doing . ~/.bashrc) do
prefix uplay
goc
wine start run-uplay.bat

)

How well does this work for everybody? Let's use this thread to discuss problems.

uplay is crashing like I mentioned with my AC Revelations thread. I don't seem to have the .bat file installed either. My winetricks.log shows:
1 uplay
2 w_workaround_wine_bug-33742
3 crypt32
4 msasn1

The results of winetricks uplay is:
zsh/3 1256 % winetricks uplay

Executing load_uplay

I suspect this means it doesn't work in 64 bit prefixes yet.

Try it in a 32 bit prefix (by wiping out the old one and doing
export WINEARCH=win32
first), maybe.
