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.

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.

I only had one or two freezes between the two games

Thanks for the reply! Doesn’t sound too bad - will pick it up.

Awesome, I definitely recommend them if you like South Park. Lots of references and callbacks to bits of episodes.
