I finally decided to try installing Assassin's Creed 2 from my Retail Disk. After doing a lot of research it looked promising, but I wouldn't know yet because Uplay (Ubisoft game launcher) won't stinking launch.
Specs: Mint 14 32-bit AMD Phenom II 3-core 4 Gig Corsair XPS RAM GeForce 550 Ti 2Gig RAM Samsung 120 SSD PlayOnLinux 4.2.1
Steps Taken:
First manual install: Everything installed fine off the disk including Uplay and the game.
Wine Version: Wine 1.7.1
Packages: Windows XP IE8 Service Pack 3 msxml3 msls3 vcrun2008 vcrun2010 corefonts tahoma d3dx9
Uplay stays on the "Getting Proxy" screen indefinitely. So I had to kill the processes and then make shortcuts myself. Then I tried to troubleshoot the problem...
I tried the crypt32.dll setting to native in Wine configuration but Uplay would crash every time. I tried copying crypt32.dll from Windows 7 and then the console errors that wintrust.dll could not be found. So I tried setting that in Wine configuration but console still says its missing. Also tried copying wintrust.dll from Windows 7 and no go.
I also tried different version of wine: 1.4-ubisoft 1.5.3-ubisoft2

Second Manual Install: I tried to just install Uplay from the Ubisoft game Launcher package available in PlayOnLinux.
Packages: Ubi game launcher (POL) package Windows 7 corefonts d3dx9 tahoma wintrust
Same problem with Uplay and "getting proxy"
There is something going on with proxy settings and I don't know if its Wine or Linux? That "wit timed out in thread" error seems to be a problem, but I have looked it up and can't find anything.

After a little more research, looks like you just CAN'T play Assassin's Creed 2 because of Uplay and DRM. I'm guessing the "Getting Proxy" is actually syncing the client with their proxy server to very my credentials for the game. I have read that this is considered a spyware or malware because Ubisoft doesn't ask us if we want to install it. Of course in Windows, we go ahead and install Uplay because we want to play our games, but in Linux there is a problem.

I have been corrected! There is an older version of crypt32 from a Windows Service pack 2 and it allows Uplay to launch properly. This work-around needs to be applied after you have installed Assassin's Creed II and Uplay...
Kind of a pain, but here is the code to installing it: - First install Subversion with your package manager
- Then open Terminal
- [code]svn checkout http://winetricks.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ winetricks-read-only[/code]Press Enter
- [code]cd winetricks-read-only/src[/code]Press Enter
- [code]sudo killall wineserver[/code]Press Enter
- [code]WINEPREFIX=/home/username/.PlayOnLinux/wineprefix/assassinscreed2/ ./winetricks -q crypt32[/code]Press Enter
Note: Make sure to put "your" login where it says username
This downloads WindowsXP-KB835935-SP2-ENU.exe
Extracts and installs these libraries into your wineprefix: Edited by booman

Hey Booman! It's awesome you got ACII working, but I can't get AC Brotherhood working. I followed your instructions and changed "assassinscreed2 to assassinscreedbrotherhood." The pack downloaded and installed. I rebooted and when I click run through POL, Uplay is still stuck at getting proxy. What is up with this?

You used Subversion to download that winetricks-read-only? Then installed the crypt32 into your virtual drive? Try it again because when I was figuring it out, I accidentally created an alternate .PlayOnLinux folder in my home directory. Maybe that happened to you too? I have Brotherhood also, but its the Steam version. Steam has no problems with Wine, so it will probably run fine.

No, I used synaptic to download subversion. Then, I just ran the commands. I did nothing with subversion except install it. And yes, in my home folder I now have a wine tricks folder along with play on Linux Virtual Drives.

I now have two AC Brotherhood game installs in POL how do I fix this?

Ok, now that you have the winetricks-read-only folder. Open terminal and run the two last commands to install crypt32. Make sure you use your login for "username" and the path to your assassinscreedbrotherhood virtual drive. There is a chance this name is too long for a virtual drive, but I doubt it. I just make a step-by-step guide too: Assassin's Creed II Guide

We dont support using winetricks in POL. Keep that in mind. You should be able to install crypt32 manually, without winetricks. As for Steam, Im a HEAVY user now (having never used it prior to its Linux release), and I LOVE IT. Its been working fantastic through Wine (and natively) for me . Ive played this in wine, but not through steam. I dont like buying games twice. haha. :)

I screwed up AC Brotherhood...I am going to have to reinstall AC Brotherhood. I had the pack installed to a different location, and because of that it didn't work. I had AssassinsCreedBrotherhood virtual drive and I created assassinscreedbrotherhood and it didn't work.

Ah, ok, yeah re-install and try again. DJ: I tried doing the manual copy/paste with the crypt32, but there is a bit more going on when it copies from Winetricks. This is the only way I could get Uplay to run properly. I sent an email to the PlayOnLinux Devs asking them to include this specific Windows XP Service Pack 2 crypt32.dll as a downloadable library. Then anyone who wants to use Uplay can install it... at least until UBIsoft decided to change the game launcher.

Considering winetricks is open-source, I could probably write a python POL/bash function for that, that will do the same thing, as you suggested to the devs. Im getting pretty good at it, and could most likely do it. I have some free time this weekend, so I can work on it. :) If petch doesnt beat me to it first. It shouldnt be hard. As really, its just a specific package, in a specific place, with a specific reg entry. Im sure this can be implemented.

Okay so, your method worked, but when I get into uPlay and click launch game, it won't launch and uPlay gives an error message. How to I launch the game? I'm clicking acbsp.exe

Cool, I'm glad its working for you too. Us stubborn gamers never give up! I will need you to post the Debug from PlayOnLinux so I can see what the errors are. Could be drivers, 32-bit libraries or Windows libraries. Next time you launch Uplay, click Debug instead of Run, then launch Brotherhood and copy/paste the debug here.

Well, the POL launcher says it has crashed, but then uPlay goes ahead and loads anyways, but when I hit "play game" in uPlay, it says unable to launch game, check your install.

The debug will clue us in on what is going on. The PlayOnLinux crash pop-ups don't tell us anything. Does Uplay say "check your install" or is it PlayOnLinux?
