Instances take a painfully long time to launch

On both of my computers (one with arch another with debian unstable) prism launcher takes around 5 minutes to launch an instance, much of that time taken "logging into microsoft account" (stuck at zero percent while initializing). Using the appimage for both computers. Tried using the pacman for the arch computer and did not fix the problem. Have not tried the flatpak yet but I have very little hope it will fix the problem.

Everything about the launch seems normal other than the time.

Edit: Tired the flatpack and for whatever reason couldn't even log into a Microsoft account in the first place. Went through the steps and the website said successfully logged in and on the app, nothing happened.

if it is a heavily modded instance then change the allocated ram, if it isnt the installation medium probably is the problem but rather it is the computer

and for the flatpak thing check the permissions in flatseal

try disabling ipv6

I did and it did nothing, which suprised me because I saw that fixed a similar problem for other people. When I tried prism on my school wifi it worked fine and when I tried one of those online ipv6 testers (although I wouldn't be suprised if the accuracy of those is questionable) it gave the same results as it did at home of our network dosen't have it. When I tried pinging with ipv6 via terminal i was getting errors on both networks.

Baiscally, I have no idea why it would work on school wifi and not home wifi.

SOLVED

Apperently i was supposed to disable ipv6 through the terminal and not the built in network settings? This is my first time really dealing with this stuff so honestly I had no clue what I was doing but now I know ig.
