Ubisoft Connect launcher broken? (feddit.it)

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 :/

I had an issue with connect and the recent update fixed it for me. By if it’s the same issue I had, try running in Wayland if your using x11. Or go back to x11 if you are in Wayland.

I was on Wayland, but unfortunately switching to X11 didn't fix the issue

Sorry to hear that. Ubisoft Connect has been hit or miss for me. On my intel machine it works fine, on my nvidia machine the menu was just a black box which failed to or loaded so slowly that it was unusable. My only advice is to use the latest Proton/Wine-GE/Proton-GE and wait for updates from Ubisoft. This is all unofficial so having it work at all is a miracle.

I'm running it the latest Linux Mint running Lutris installed from their official deb file.
