For Assassin's Creed II, a internet connection is compulsory to play at this game. For Assassin's Creed : Brotherhood, it's possible to play with the offline mode.
So, the Ubisoft Game Launcher works very correctly, it's possible to log in but when you click on the "Play" button, the game does not works.
This is the output console with the online mode : http://pastebin.com/xDqd5k6m
You can see that when you click on "Play" button, there is a problem with a namedpipe : 2011-04-04 08:52:31 [ 58] [INFO ] OrbitGameFacade.cpp (74) : Starting game with product id 26. 2011-04-04 08:52:32 [ 86] [ERROR ] NamedPipeReceiveLoop.cpp (62) : ReadFileEx failed, error = 997. 2011-04-04 08:52:32 [ 51] [INFO ] OrbitGameFacade.cpp (146) : A game connected to the pipe. 2011-04-04 08:52:32 [ 51] [ERROR ] OrbitGameFacade.cpp (175) : Game connection closed due to corrupt
It seems that wine do not arrive to show the game window because when you launch a running system (like gnome-system-monitor), the game executable (AssassinsCreed2Game.exe for AC2 or ACBSP.exe for Brotherhood) is present.
In windows, when the game executable is launched, the Ubisoft Game Launcher window is reduce and the game window appear.
