Yesterday I was trying to install the Ubisoft version of AC Odissey on my PopOS! machine, and I wasn't able to do so because when I try to launch Ubisoft Connect from Lutris, it asks me to do the login and then shows only a black rectangle.

I tried looking online for a solution but as far as I understood it's a problem of the new Ubisoft Connect UI and I wasn't able to find any fix... can someone help?

It really sucks because it prevents me to play some games that are supposed to run on Linux just because at the time I bought them on Ubisoft Connect instead of Steam :/

Rollback the target wine version of that game to a previously known good version that works.

But wouldn't it still try to update the Ubisoft Connect launcher to its latest version, even if the wine runner is older?

Ah, I missed that part. Well, maybe try a newer Wine: https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/releases/wine-9.8

If that still fails, get some logs and file a bug. I bet they knock it out pretty quickly.
