Hello.

I see you closed this issue, so I guess this is not a problem for you anymore. I still tried reproducing it today and I couldn't on my end.

Can you let me know how the issue went away, or what fix did you apply (if any)? This might come in handy if the issue does come back in the future to anyone else.

hi! i dont know what i did to solve it, because i do 3 solutions at the time

1.Reinstall my default browser (Brave)
2.Connect with other wifi
3.Restart my computer

one can be the solution... or all the 3 steps... after this, the login go normal and i can play with a input lag just a bit more than normal.

if can be a plus info, I recently installed manjaro, just 1 day using it in that moment, so is a very fresh installation

I have the same issue with google account login using the AUR version. With flatpak it worked but my controllers where not recognized.

edit. tried to build from source but the issue remains.
edit 2. restart, other wifi and changing default browser (from Brave to Firefox) didn't help either.
edit 3. tried appimage, same issue. I believe it's some sort of dependency issue on my end, but my browsers don't have the same issue so it also has to do with how the app uses them.
edit 4. I was able to circumvent the issue by not pressing the big nvidia button to login but instead the option to register on the nvidia page and login from there. After setting up two step authentication I was asked in the electron app for the code and everything went smooth from there.

@MadByteDE yeah, unfortunately Google is not allowing Google SSO to work in Electron apps. Workarounds such as this may or may not work reliably.
This has also been discussed in #50 #49 #69 #99 .

Google sign-on is considered to be not working and unfixable (due to Google's Terms of Service)

Method in edit 4 from @MadByteDE also worked for me today.
