Assassin’s Creed: Origins Linux DXVK Wine – how to play this game on Linux.

Assassin’s Creed: Origins is a VMProtect and Denuvo protected game and it needs a crack to play it on Linux. Many Windows games play nice with Denuvo but VMProtect is the culprit here. However, if you use a crack the game will run very nice and easy. Read on to learn how to play it.

For this game you’ll need Wine or Wine-Staging (current Proton version will not work), DXVK and a file tweak.

If you don’t know how to setup DXVK, you can follow our easy DXVK installation tutorial here.

And now the game will run but only the first time no matter if you just start and close it, play it for some or try to change the quality settings. At the second start the game will hang on the splash screen.

Fortunately there is an easy fix for this problem. Go to your home folder, search for Assassin’s Creed Origins folder, open it and you’ll see a file named ACO.ini. Open it with some text editor and delete the whole [Input] section at the end of the file (line 65-68). Set the file permissions to read only to avoid changes. This can be done via file Properties context menu or via terminal:

chmod 444 /path/to/ACO.ini

Done! Now you can play Assassin’s Creed: Origins on Linux!
