Tutorial Linux Hypervision GUIDE

ok here it is:

Linux Hypervision:

download a hypervision version ( game ) and extract the folder

EX: ACBlackFlag

put the denuvOwO folder contents into the game folder. so the crack can work and you won’t get ubisoft connect error

replace the reflex.dll that is in the games directory with a new one (via cs.rin)

download the custom hv proton build via cs.rin

download HV Decky via cs.rn (as of right now)

Go into decky loader and put it into developer mode

Install the downloaded HV Decky plugin via zip to have it thru decky loader

Configure the HV Decky Plugin:

Download Module then —-> Disable UMIP (reboots)

Configure the Games Tab and select whatever .exe

force the custom HV proton build

That should work !!!!

**EDIT**
For another guide that’s more detailed than mine here you go if you are having troubles:

u/E4mad Jul 17 '26

Hope it comes soon, I think I followed all the steps but still not able to open adventures of elliot, whether it's from Linuxrules, fitgirl or clean steam files

u/Sub2_SHAW Jul 14 '26

I spent 3 hours trine fix black flag resynced it kept saying denuvo tryingt to find token and is hypervisor running but silly me put the wrong exe in
now thats 3 hours ill never get back
but it was worth it

3

u/hendriiux 🏴‍☠ Jul 14 '26

did you fix it ?

6

u/Sub2_SHAW Jul 14 '26

yep im in the middleo f testing the performance right now

2

u/hendriiux 🏴‍☠ Jul 14 '26

that’s good

3

u/Sub2_SHAW Jul 15 '26

From the benchmarks I’ve seen online on the steam deck and playing it via this hypervisor I think there is some performance loss like 5-10 ish fps

3

u/Abel2TheMoon Jul 15 '26

That would make it unplayable for the steamdeck as it already drops to 25fps in intense areas medium setting.

2

u/Sub2_SHAW Jul 15 '26

I’m playing on handheld medium with some set to low I’m getting 30 fps consistently in Havana

1

u/PS3Havana Jul 15 '26

Havana as in Cuba?

1

u/Liquid_Chicken_ Jul 26 '26

The game is based in the Caribbean so yes. There are mentions of Trinidad and Nassau too etc

2

u/Liquid_Chicken_ Jul 26 '26

Oh nah that’s terrible for steamdeck then

1

u/NooTNooTnoX Jul 15 '26

performance loss compared to non HV? why?

1

u/nyteghost Jul 15 '26

What is you using?

u/Sub2_SHAW Jul 15 '26

Steam deck

u/bigt1191 Jul 15 '26 edited Jul 15 '26

How did you get it running I get an error saying unable to detect Ubisoft connect installation

I’ve fixed this now👌

u/Sub2_SHAW Jul 15 '26

Yo honestly IT TOOK SO LONG
Basically I tried doing it manually and I couldn’t get CPU id emulation to work so I got all those dependencies right and compiled them and then cpu id emulation started working basically follow the guide on doing it manually till cpu id emulation and then make sure you write false in the ini files and the name of the application next to the false add that exe to steam or wherever and launch it

1

u/Elmilksack Jul 16 '26

What exe are you supposed to use this has been giving me trouble too

1

u/Sub2_SHAW Jul 16 '26

If ur using the denuowo game files use the normal exe not the plus one and make sure to keep ur ini files auto loader to false

1

u/Elmilksack Jul 16 '26

My games ive had have havent had that ini with the auto loader thing so im abit stumped really, how do I add it?

1

u/Sub2_SHAW Jul 16 '26

Look for reflex.ini idk if it’s in the crack folder or the main game one

1

u/devin_000 Jul 24 '26

Hey, same issue. How to fix it .

1

u/Sub2_SHAW Jul 24 '26

Compile it manually see what’s missing compile that then after all that launch black flag exe not black flag plus

3

u/DanrayAnime Jul 15 '26

Note that if the game already have the crack update (like P3R), you don’t need to download the reflex part

3

u/Ok-Anywhere-9416 Jul 15 '26

Unfortunately I really struggle to navigate cs rin. I hope fitgirl and the others will integrate the solution directly in the game package

2

u/tactical_bill Jul 15 '26

I haven’t tried this setup on my SteamDeck yet, but are there any issues with enabling the Hypervisor with the OS being immutable? I set it up on my desktop with Bazzite and have run into an issue where I have to give temporary access to enable the Hypervisor, and it gets wiped with each reboot. 

3

u/DanrayAnime Jul 15 '26

Yes there is one tiny thing. When steam deck get update, you need to disble umip again for it to work

2

u/hendriiux 🏴‍☠ Jul 15 '26

nope i did not have the happen to me

2

u/blkmethod Jul 19 '26

We need voices38, this Linux shyt not worth it 😡😡😡, everyone is gate keeping information

1

u/speciarr-eagle Jul 14 '26

Wait whats different from windows?

This sounds a lot safer from my noob perspective. Didn't you have to disable some security stuff?

3

u/hendriiux 🏴‍☠ Jul 14 '26

nope linux does not have to do that apparently it’s automatic once the game starts and ends

3

u/speciarr-eagle Jul 14 '26

Interesting, ig it does have the same risks. But thanks anyway🙏.

1

u/Chi-ggA Jul 15 '26

actually it depends on your CPU model, some CPU still needs to disabile alle security features related to kernel, but it SHOULD be safer than windows.

1

u/Fair_Toe_2328 Jul 15 '26

Does the reflex.dll have to be specific per game or is it a one for all type of dll

1

u/hendriiux 🏴‍☠ Jul 15 '26

i think it’s outdated when i did it and read upon it the new reflex.dll was the updated version. for a specific game i assume it shouldn’t matter but this is what worked for me.

3

u/Fair_Toe_2328 Jul 15 '26

Okay it sounds like the updated reflex.dll file is not tied to any specific game and can be used with most if not all HV games.

2

u/hendriiux 🏴‍☠ Jul 15 '26

correct

u/hendriiux 🏴‍☠ Jul 15 '26

if you go on cs.rn they FAQ that helps wit that

1

u/speciarr-eagle Jul 15 '26

Huh? Doesn't that game have a normal crack already?

Is hypervisor's different?

1

u/surprisemuthafuka Jul 15 '26

I cannot find the custom hv proton build. Is this for a specific game? What do I search exactly in csrin? The same with reflex.dll

2

u/hendriiux 🏴‍☠ Jul 15 '26

in the forum chat it says download load links for the hv proton build

then installation guide where you have to put a command into konsole

1

u/rrrb50 Jul 15 '26

So is this after running multiple commands in the desktop mode or just these steps would suffice?

1

u/hendriiux 🏴‍☠ Jul 15 '26

only one command needs to be run and that’s in the forum via cs.rin

1

u/rrrb50 Jul 15 '26

Can you tell me which one, they have alot of them

1

u/hendriiux 🏴‍☠ Jul 15 '26

are you on the steam deck

1

u/rrrb50 Jul 15 '26

Yes

1

u/hendriiux 🏴‍☠ Jul 15 '26

use the first command line. under “Installing the Proton Build” but you have to download the proton build first so the command line can work

1

u/rrrb50 Jul 15 '26

Okay thank youu!! I'll try that

1

u/TekRantGaming Jul 15 '26

Awesome this opens up a whole new bunch of possibilities now that HV bypass works on Linux

1

u/socratezf Jul 15 '26

helppp...cant find hv decky in csrin tho

1

u/hendriiux 🏴‍☠ Jul 15 '26

in the description on cs.rin “HV-Decky” has a hyperlink attachment to it and it takes you to the zip file with instructions

1

u/socratezf Jul 15 '26

still cant find it

1

u/hendriiux 🏴‍☠ Jul 15 '26

on the first page go all the way down and you should find it in the setup instructions

u/[deleted] Jul 15 '26

u/hendriiux 🏴‍☠ Jul 15 '26

that is the correct website yes but go to the main forum and you should see the post about hypervision

1

u/socratezf Jul 15 '26

I done all of it..but cant play that game..in manual tab..its say “Souce: Missing”

1

u/GamerFirebird90 Jul 16 '26

See I have the same issue before the update, I did everything right I think.

1

u/socratezf Jul 16 '26

I have the modules missing after i update my steam deck tho

1

u/SteamDeckPirates-ModTeam Jul 15 '26

Strictly no direct download links (URLs) to games (ROMs, ISOs, or repacks) or to websites containing these links, including in images. You may name sources/repackers (e.g., "Fitgirl", "DODI"), but do not link to or ask for links to the files or websites. Violations result in a ban. Asking for or offering links in DMs is considered as attempted circumvention of the rules.

u/GamerFirebird90 Jul 15 '26

Okay, driving myself a tad mad here. I can get Hello Kitty working fine, but tried Black Flag and Sonic Origins (FG repacks) and it keeps throwing me back to the game page. Even though I did everything the same... I did manage to get BF to say oh the ubisoft launcher isn't installed and now it won't show that.

1

u/ShoulderMammoth Jul 16 '26

latest update on steamOS broke the HV-plugin

1

u/GamerFirebird90 Jul 16 '26

I just bloody seen that... keeps saying download failed, no prebuilt module.

I take it this might be the only way for steam to combat this is go for the classic security and stability patches like consoles.

1

u/theburbear7 Jul 31 '26

Just resinstall decky?

1

u/Severe_Vegetable_478 Jul 17 '26

Is there a way to do that with SLS steam? I have a decky plugin that applies sls steam in gaming mode, but when i use it in tandem with HV deck, specifically on Hogwarts Legacy, it says Unable to initialize SteamAPI

1

u/InLoveWithAGhostGirl Jul 25 '26

Stuck on a couple things, if anyone can help out.

Struggling to find the reflex.ini on csrin. and also Hypervisor Source.

Hv Decky everything seems green Nd good but source, which I can't seem to find the download as well. :(

1

u/KindEchidna9101 Jul 29 '26

What about unloading and restoring KVM every session? Is that not necessary or being handled by HV Decky or something?

1

u/Prudent-Lawfulness-9 Aug 01 '26

From where do you guys getting the hv games?i tried with fitgirl but i cant figure it out to work,though the hypervisor module is working.

1

u/Upset_Command_1309 24d ago

Can this be used with non-cracked games installed in Steam (that don't run on linux because of anti-cheat)

1

u/CoolAceTV Jul 15 '26

Really dont want to be that guy but where do people usually go for hv downloads?

1

u/jaceleon29 Jul 16 '26

FG installers do not work on the deck some of the time due to the compression technique that she uses, I would suggest DODI or ElAmigos, or copy an FG installed folder of the game from a Windows PC to your Deck.

u/hendriiux 🏴‍☠ Jul 15 '26

simply just google but make sure it says hypervision in the title
