Ubisoft Connect Won't Let Me Login
Hi, I had been running Ubisoft Connect via Lutris successfully for months, but today, I was updating a game and then stopped Ubisoft Connect while doing other things. In the evening, I tried to play an Ubisoft game when I couldn't even start up UC anymore. The launcher kept crashing. I switched from wine-ge-8-26-x86_64 to Proton-Experimental and then the launcher worked, but whenever I try to login, it says that there was a problem logging in. I installed other versions of Wine, like wine-10.8-staging-x86_64, but that got me the same kind of experience, where the launcher starts, but I can't login. I switched over to my old computer, back to Windows 10 and successfully updated UC and used the same credentials as I used in Bazzite, using a password vault, so no typos here. I'm very confused about what could've happened! Is there anything I can do to fix this situation? I even tried reinstalling UC. I'd appreciate any help anybody could give me. I know that this may not be specific to Bazzite, so if this is the wrong place to ask, please let me know where to go!

Is nobody able to help or redirect me?
try resetting the prefix
I deleted the files along with Ubisoft Connect and then reinstalled it. There were still problems, but when I switched the Wine version to GE-Proton (latest) and get rid of the DLL overrides, I was able to get into Ubisoft Connect. The bad part is that I can't download any of the games I was forced to delete when I deleted the files! Ubisoft Connect is stuck "initializing" the downloads. This has been a very crappy experience.
I have a suggestion: Try using Faugus Launcher. There's an auto-installer for Ubisoft Connect, and it should run with UMU + ProtonGE-latest
Thank you for your suggestion! I'll definitely try it out!
I had this problem on the Steam Deck already and it happend on Bazzite as well
this solves network connectivity error for me with Ubisoft Connect:
(or to make it persistent between reboots with SystemD):
Sorry for not getting back to you earlier about the Faugus Launcher idea. I tried it and ran into basically the same problem as before, where I wasn't able to download the games. It would be "initializing" forever and no changes would be made in the filesystem. I was able to get away with things though, by copying the files from Windows and then using the command to Locate Installed Game.
