You must have Immortals Fenyx Rising Bought and Installed on Steam to proceed with this Guide. It goes on sale for dirt cheap alot so i suggest getting it that way

Any DLC you purchase from the Steam Store will still work. Including the Gold Edition

Download this Fix via Google Drive: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1b_jdZXAoAbMEJQ7TbeguGJ3RajXQekUj/view
This Link Contains a Download, Only proceed if you know what you are doing.
(On Steam Deck Switch to Desktop Mode to follow this step)

Once you have it Downloaded, Extract it, Go to Steam - Right Click on Immortals Fenyx Rising in your Library - Manage - Browse Local Files. Move all files from the "FenyxRisingFix" into the Fenyx Rising Install Directory and replace all when prompted

(On Steam Deck Switch back into Gaming Mode)
Find Immortals Fenyx Rising in your Steam Library, And Press Play. Immortals Fenyx Rising should load right away. And There you have it! You can now play Immortals Fenyx Rising without Ubisoft Connect For as long as you want, Offline for as long as you want without having to Connect to the Internet.

Consider leaving a like if it worked

I highly recommend this for Steam Deck users especially because Ubisoft Connect tends to Break Alot with Updates and sometimes it just won’t work Offline

To increase Text Size to go Options -> Language -> Set Subtitle Size to Larger

If you are running into issues accessing DLC, Season Pass or Gold Edition Content try disabling the Ubisoft Activation DLC's in of the game Properties in Steam
(If you do not have a respective DLC there will be a golden haze around its icon)

To fix players frustration with Uplay, To try and silence Off-Topic Reviews and Discussions that only complain about Uplay, and to the people who refuse to buy this game because of Uplay.

I just want everyone to be able to enjoy Video Games without complaining over every little thing, It's an annoying thing that many take their games too seriously, Some miss out on gems like these because of flaws not related to the actual games themselves.

Please, Enjoy the game.

Q: Can i unlock Steam Achievements if i apply this
A: No, since they are unlocked through Ubisoft Connect

Q: Does this work on Steam Deck and Linux
A: Yes, and the game runs through Steam's Proton by default. Recommended settings for Steam Deck are available in this guide as well

Q: Can i change the Language
A: Yes, Language options are available in-game via options

Q: Where are the Saves located
A: Save Files are Located in the Install Directory in SAVE_GAMES. If you apply this Fix to Another Device you can transfer the Saves easily this way

Q: Where are the original saves located
A: The Original Save File should be in Program Files x86/Ubisoft/Ubisoft Game Launcher/savegames/userid/5405 or 62326
If you wish to Maintain your old save you can copy the Original Save into SAVE_GAMES as listed above
You can convert your saves Back and Forth from UbiConnect and this Fix using "ACSaveTool"

A: Either Disable Steam Input or go into the Steam Input settings and set it to Gamepad

If you are experiencing performance issues with or without the fix on Windows, Do doing the following:
Step 1: Download DXVK, Get the latest version, go into it's the x64 Folder, Drag "d3d11.dll" and "dxgi.dll" into the Game Install Folder
Also make sure the game is set to High Performance in Graphics settings in the Windows Settings

Step 2: Download Rivatuner / RTSS. Once that is done, Add ImmortalsFenyxRising.exe into the list, Set the Framerate limit to whatever you want it to be. 60 is recommended, do 30fps if you have a less powerful system. On my system i have it set to 72 because its the sweet spot, with no noticeable stuttering and the most smoothness

Using at least half of your refresh rate is recommended if you can’t reach the full amount and if your display does not support VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) Because choosing a framerate like 40fps on a 60hz display will make the game display feel erratic
Examples: 30fps on 60hz (equal to consoles), 72fps on 144hz (what i use), 45fps or 30fps on 90hz and etc.

Do not use the In-Game Frame Limiter or Vsync, they are very broken, so make sure they are off in options. use Fullscreen, not Borderless or Windowed
For a better Vsync with no tearing, have DXVK installed for the game and then create a file in the game folder named "dxvk.conf"
Inside the dxvk.conf file enter the following with the space and without quotations " dxgi.syncInterval = 1" once that is in there save it
To test Screen Tearing In-Game move the Right Analog Stick to the right or hold the Right Arrow Key to move the camera

To enable Triple Buffering add the following line into the dxvk.conf file " dxgi.numBackBuffers = 3"



Triple Buffering allows for a smoother image and lower latency, but uses more Resources. Useful if you want the game to feel smooth at Frame Rates lower than 60. I still recommend using it even if you are on 60 or above for the smoothest possible experience
(Linux and Proton already use DXVK and Triple Buffering by default)

I recommend having the Anti-Aliasing off, because when it's on the game looks very blurry and grainy and also runs worse.

I recommend using Very High Settings as the maximum if your system is powerful enough, Ultra High can cause alot of performance issues without that big of a visual improvement.

Shadow Quality impacts performance the most, Lowering it greatly increases performance. I recommend either Very Low, Low or Medium.

If you have Windows Defender, i recommend adding your Steam Games folder as an exclusion. So that it doesn’t constantly scan the game files while playing and cause stuttering

This game has a Benchmark tool in the Options to test performance, i recommend running it to optimize and test performance before playing. The FPS Counter in-game isn't very accurate, so use a different one such as Steam's FPS Counter to display it for benchmarking purposes.
