When using WalletConnect v2 provider getSigner seems to be going to the v1 API

[JQE]

I am use web3-react: 8.1.3-beta.0 on core and 8.5.1 for walletconnect-v2

What i am trying to do is a get an ethers contract like so

new ethers.Contract(address, abi, signer)

address is the address as a string, abi is the abi as a string signer is where it seems to be my issue i have tried the following methods.

const { provider } =useWeb3React() const signer = provider.getSigner()

i have also tried using the provided hooks from the initialize connector:

const provider = await hooks.getProvider(); const signer = provider.getSigner();

i have also tried replacing the signer with the web3Provider provided by wallet connect directly. Anytime i do this i get the error that it can't connect to https://rpc.walletconnect.com/v1/?chainId=eip155:MYCHAINID&projectId=MYPROJECTID

i am not sure why its doing that. I have tried setting the rpcMap in the configuration, but the signer always seems to have httpRpc set to that url. Any ideas on where i can look or what my next steps are? I am trying to avoid re-writing my entire app to get walletconnect v2 working.

i am clearly missing something in how to acquire the proper provider when using walletconnectv2.

as a note all the code works when i use metamask connetor.
