This is just for information.

I did searched the web again because uplay did not start as it should.

Solution:
I have to check later if I can download anything.

Versions in use:
platform: ~amd64 - eudev - openrc - i3wm - lvm2 / luks / ext4 / custom initramfs

For those free games on uplay I may want to try to get uplay working.

It seems the download for watchdogs 1 is starting and working.

edit:

watchdogs 1 needs any dotnet and latest directx from winetricks (I can not narrow it down, as uplay only said isntalling dotnet, which I aborted and used winetricks to do the job.)

well it loads only in window mode. I saw the first time the startup screen which went into a stack overflow.

Summary watchdogs does not like my computer

edit2: next try is splintercell. Another freebie of the past.
