"Could not connected to network" in Chinese edition, before seeing the door

[CHN-beta]

After launch the game, it complains "network error: could not connect to network, please check your network settings, error code: 4201".

The following command is used in launcher: %command% -platform_type CLOUD_THIRD_PARTY_PC

i also encounter this problem. it seems an another anti-cheat detection, i guess.

ps. this error msg in eng. is "Failed to connect, please check your network settings. Error code: 4201".

oh i see, GI need a hot patch in game. so you should manually unblock dispatchcnglobal.yuanshen.com domain in /etc/hosts for updating...
after updates, you may add hosts blocklist back.

What is the purpose of blocking dispatchcnglobal.yuanshen.com, what if I delete the line?

I do not know. I just unblocked it and everything works fine now.

I remember it now. #368 remove this will cause a wine error.

This issue occured again some days ago. If i banned dispatchcnglobal.yuanshen.com, game will complain "no network connection", but if I unbanned dispatchcnglobal.yuanshen.com, game will crash at startup.

Don't ban that domain. Instead, disconnect the network before launching, and reconnect just before the window appears.

You can use nmcli or iptables to do it, e.g.:

sudo -v
systemd-run --user --scope --slice=genshin --unit=genshin env DXVK_FRAME_RATE=60 mangohud wine YuanShen.exe -platform_type CLOUD_THIRD_PARTY_PC -is_cloud 1 &
sudo sh -c 'iptables -A OUTPUT -p all -m cgroup --path /user.slice/user-1000.slice/user@1000.service/genshin.slice -j DROP; sleep 5; iptables -D OUTPUT -p all -m cgroup --path /user.slice/user-1000.slice/user@1000.service/genshin.slice -j DROP'
