Huh, how did you get the network working on Prism Launcher 8.0? I got it to run via the same Qt6 on Windows 7 project you linked, but the network doesn't work at all.

Now, the interesting thing is, when I use a 9.0 beta build (with VxKex, because Qt6 on Windows 7 project doesn't have that version of Qt, the network works)

Now I need to say, that I installed the OpenSSL distribution from https://kb.firedaemon.com/support/solutions/articles/4000121705l and added it to PATH. I took both of the screenshots above with it already installed.
I also tried running Prism Launcher 8.0 via VxKex, and it didn't result to a working network either.

Try the updated version I just did.

But to me it seems that you're using the wrong version of Qt, if you're trying to patch it manually, hence why the developer version is working as it is built against the same version of Qt as the one you're trying to patch it with, the difference being one you're using is made to work on Windows 7, I usually either compile privately PrismLauncher with GitHub Actions or I go through the releases and check which version of Qt it's using so that I can patch it with the right version of qt6windows7, but I do pack it all in a nice installer so that it's easy to use for the average person that doesn't want to deal with all of this work.

i tried it, but adding an account is stuck on working, trying to add an instance gets an error saying "list update failed: one or more subtasks failed", and no modloader versions load or modpacks load either. :/

The authentication issues are due to prism launcher being unable to use windows' tls library on windows 7. The official build instructions say this, and give instructions for copying over the proper openssl dlls for people specifically compiling QT 5 builds to use on 7 and 8.

Either way you don't need a custom build, the latest version 9.2 works with VxKex as long as you have openssl installed. It seems like that's just the case with any version that's using QT 6.
