Trackmania 2020 Broke Recently
Hi, I'm aware people have already asked for support running Trackmania 2020 (with mixed sucess) and that games running on external launchers (Uplay in this case) aren't officially supported. That said, I think my situation is a little different from some of the other threads I've seen.
A few weeks ago (~mid July), I was able to run Trackmania 2020 using Epic Games (probably not the best idea). There were no issues with online gameplay or performance (though I would get a random popup about having less than 2 GB of memory before starting the game). At some point, something changed (probably an auto-updated by wine, the launcher, or the game) and the game stopped working. Upon launching, the game would appear to be running, but no window would appear and it would show as not playing.
To resolve this, I tried older versions of Game Porting Toolkit and Wine, but those caused Uplay to crash upon startup. Finally, I reset Heroic to stock settings and reinstalled the game. The first time I started the game, the Uplay launched prompted me to login and updated itself. Then, subsequent launches have the same previously observed crashes. Checking the directory where Uplay stores its crash logs yields a bunch of empty files. I'm attaching my game crash log (from Heroic) because that appears to have some information.
I'd be happy to answer any follow up questions and thank you so much for reading through this post!
