Symptoms

Uplay successfully installs and launches and synchronizes achievements and saves, but when Uplay tries to start the game the Starlink process either hangs or a popup with the following text occurs:
There is not enough memory available to run this program. Quit one or more programs, and then try again.
As I've seen something about mfplat in the proton log, I tried the workaround to manually register and install media foundation, but nothing changed. Game also still has Denuvo active, which might be an issue.

Reproduction

• Install the game via Steam
• Click play

Start by reviewing the linked steam-950050.log alongside the reported mfplat workaround and the documented Proton version and system information. Reproduce the Steam launch sequence and investigate the Uplay-to-game failure; done means Starlink starts without hanging or showing the insufficient-memory message.
