Games tested: Watch_Dogs, Watch_Dogs 2, Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Wildlands (not on Steam)

Whenever I try to open Ubisoft Connect, it will either crash or start to severely lag my desktop session and I will generally have to ssh in to kill it (I can't switch tty) and sometimes I have to resort to SysRq to reboot etc.. It only seems to happen on the main Ubisoft Connect window and not the window showing something is updating or a game is launching.

If it is lagging but not crashing, then sometimes it will eventually stop lagging and it will be usable without issue. Sometimes it does eventually crash though.

This crash/lagging doesn't happen on normal Wine, only on Proton. It also happens on X11 and Wayland (tested on KDE Wayland and dwm (X11)).

There's some output about vkd3d in the logs generated by Proton so not sure if that has anything to do with it. This is only generated if it doesn't crash though, only when it lags.
