Step 4: Download and Build SoftEther VPN

Extract the downloaded archive:

tar xzf SoftEther-VPN-Client-Intel-AMD-*.gz
Build and install the VPN client:

cd vpnclient/
make
Place the VPN config Animus-Network.vpn in your Assassin's Creed Brotherhood game directory (where ACBMP.exe is located).

Step 5: Configure the Launcher

Place both _ACBMP.sh and _ACBMP.ini in your Assassin's Creed Brotherhood game directory (where ACBMP.exe is located).
Edit the _ACBMP.ini file and update your credentials:
- Leave serverHostname empty
- Set onlineUser to your Animus Network username
- Set onlinePassword to your Animus Network password

Step 6: Launch the Game

Make the launcher script executable:
chmod +x _ACBMP.sh
Run the launcher script as root:
sudo ./_ACBMP.sh
In the game's main menu, go to Options > Anti-Cheating and set it to Off

Troubleshooting:

Run _ACBMP.sh as root
Keep SoftEther VPN connected while playing
If the game crashes, try: WINEDEBUG=-all ./_ACBMP.sh
For graphical issues, try different Wine versions
If you encounter issues:
- Disable other VPN services
- Check the status page
- Join our Discord for help

Done! The game should now connect to the Animus Network server when launched using the shell script file.
