If you changed /etc/hosts, it might be that, about the receiving info from the server on this:
I don’t want it to run a .desktop file. A .desktop file is just like a shortcut, you would probably run the game through lutris with a .desktop file and not the .desktop file through lutris.
My problem was that AmongUs uses a file called AmongUsHelper.exe to log in. Once it opens itch.io in your browser and you allow it, it asks you to open an “amongus” link, In windows it does it with “AmongUsHelper” that’s why I am guessing it uses AmongUsHelper.exe. ‘Among us.exe’ works fine.
The problem with running lutris through .desktop files when you need the browser tho is that the app just opens normally instead of like it holding any info from the website or something and idk how to make it do that.

I downloaded the itch.io version and ran it with wine tkg normally (wine Among\ Us.exe), it asked me to login to itch.io. You can make a .sh file to launch it and add it as a linux game to lutris, if this is what solves this.
