Description

In any Proton version I use I cannot connect to Uplay. It stops at initializing and gives an error.

Workaround is possible using VPN connection.

Works on Win 11 on the same computer, same network (no VPN necessary)

I am using Manjaro, stable, latest updates installed.

Research direction

Start by reproducing UPlay's initialization failure in Proton on Manjaro with the VPN disabled, using the environment described in the issue. Compare the result with the reported Windows 11 behavior and VPN workaround; done means the connection works without the workaround or the failure has a documented, reproducible cause.
