As I write in the code, currently this script does not allow to run the game (DVD v1.0, nor Steam) but just to install it.

I do not know if the issue is related to Uplay only, DRM, or something else...

Maybe someone can improve this script ?.

Amazing, thank you :)

Keep calm because this game has serious issues : https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=13398

Hum sorry, though you was not able to run in only for the DVD version

New attempt, unsuccessful.
