--- Comment #27 from Jonathan Preston jpreston@jpreston.net --- I made some progress, I think. I am now able to successfully log in in all cases, assuming the game launches to the login screen (which it doesn't about 50% of the time, but I think that's an unrelated issue).
Essentially, what I did is bypass systemd-resolved.
To reproduce the "solution" on Ubuntu 18.04 (assuming you are already impacted by this issue):
1. Tell Network Manager not to manage our resolv.conf by editing /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf, and adding the following line to the [main] section: dns=none 2. Restart Network Manager: systemctl restart network-manager 3. Now remove symlinked resolv.conf that is part of systemd: rm /etc/resolv.conf 4. Create a new resolv.conf with your text editor of choice and add the following line: nameserver 8.8.8.8 5. Restart Network Manager again.
To revert the changes: Remove the line "dns=none" from /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf rm /etc/resolv.conf ln -s /run/systemd/resolve/stub-resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf systemctl restart network-manager
I'm not exactly sure why this works, but it does work on the one system I've tried it on, and the problem returned immediately when I reverted the changes. Naturally, I do not recommend this approach as a permanent workaround, as local DNS caching is generally good.
Hopefully this is helpful information.
