    Play integrity fix by chiteroman seems to fix this. I just tried it.

      Link to aforementioned, for people’s convenience https://github.com/chiteroman/PlayIntegrityFix

      (N.b. I have not personally used this, I just checked it out and wanted to facilitate other people’s curiosity)

          No need to apologise — the world is grim, we’re all burnt out and having each other’s backs is how we survive, especially when it comes to the little things like this. Teamwork makes the dream work.

    Wouldn’t this violate the EU’s DMA?
