They do this about once every two months. Very frustrating.

The thing that breaks things broke things. The thing that fixes things fixed it.

I'm still having some issues even though proton experimental was apparently updated. Trackmania just gets "Ubisoft Connect is not currently installed" when starting Trackmania.

Any suggestions? I'm on pop os

I've also tried rubbing Ubisoft Connect via Lutris but when hitting play it opens up a blank square on the screen and the launcher/login never come up.

Stupid Ubisoft, I just got into Linux a couple weeks ago as my daily driver and this was the first thing to make me boot back into Windows.

You can usually fix this Trackmania issue by verifying your install in steam.

Thanks for the reply. I did try this and it wasn't working but I tried reinstalling the game and that did work. It reset my settings and keybinds, it did keep openplanet but lost the plugins. Not a big deal. I had some weird issues with the game the last week or so. So maybe when ubisoft breaks it again the usual fix (like in this case waiting for the proton experimental update) will work without a reinstall.

The launcher hasn't worked in over a year for me, it just refuses to log in. I think from what i ended up reading on reddit recently that it's an mtu issue, but changing mtu also didn't do anything. I might have to change something in a config file but i didn't want to bother going through the trouble to get their stupid launcher working. I don't really play their games anyway. Most of the games on my account are games that they gave away for free.

I just want to play "Trackmania" :)

Yeah, understandable. Sucks that their launcher is so wonky under linux.
