EAC Offline Error in Lost Ark on Arch (discuss.tchncs.de)

Lost Ark EAC apparently got enabled for Linux one or two weeks ago and alot of people are able to play according to protondb. But a few seconds after I enter character select I get a message saying that EAC is offline. I've tried proton-em, -ge and experimental but it's the same for all.

I've had the same problem with Armored Core 6 (also EAC), where the multiplayer was working out of the box for others except me.

Does anyone have any idea what I'm missing here? If not, does anyone know other places I could ask for support?

Edit: ugh... If anyone comes across this, I had previously disabled EAC via an entry in the hosts file which is required to run Star Citizen...

Did you ensure that your game is using the correct glibc? (Saying this naively, never had to use it)

When I installed glibc-eac the standard glibc was removed because they're conflicting packages

Good start. How are you launching the game? Some infrastructure might be running their own glibc...

I'm thinking about lutris or bottles. Maybe those have EAC settings too.

Just play via native Steam.

I'll let others go at it, I'm out of ideas
