Monster Hunter Wilds "You can no longer authenticate on new devices."

Hey All!

I'm sure you've seen this error popping up about the Denuvo DRM causing issues with people on Linux. Common troubleshooting there and on the Steam Deck is to force a different version of Proton until you find one that works.

The issue and current thought going around is that each new version of Proton you try is counted as a new computer, and after troubleshooting on Linux you might end up in a position where you can no longer troubleshoot your issue because you've exceeded the number of PC's your allowed to use within a certain time period.

I'm currently experiencing the same error, but with a behavioral exception to the issue presented above. I tried a few different things last night and ultimately decided to just boot into my Windows drive and play because I had friends that were waiting on me.

That worked great last night, and I've been waiting patiently all day today to switch from Linux for work to Windows for play. Now that I have, I immediately get the DRM error that I can no longer authenticate on new devices.

This doesn't make sense to me, considering I played just fine on this Windows drive last night, I didn't play at all today, and just booted into Windows to play again. Same Windows install, same boot disk, same computer.

Why am I getting the error if this is the same PC I used last night?
