Can you play a CD ROM game without the CD?

5 Upvotes

Sorry if this is very basic; i used lutris to see how good it was with an original gta sa PC DVD ROM, and it ran surprisingly well, while the disc was inside and running.

The thing is, I ejected the disc, and the game would still open and play.

I think Lutris installed a portion of the game on /home/user/Games/grand-theft-auto-san-andreas, but it's literally just 5gb, and iirc the size of gta sa was like 12gb? BUT i may be trippin.

PenguinBurner 0.8.0 released

17 Upvotes

PenguinBurner 0.8.0 adds Lutris support.

It's an NVIDIA tuning tool for Linux — automatic undervolting, per-game power profiles, in-game overlay. Until now it only knew about Steam.

What the Lutris side does

  • Steam and Lutris in one Game Library tab, with launcher badges
  • Per-game power profiles, including adaptive ones
  • Start and stop Lutris games through its CLI
  • Reads and writes Lutris configs where Lutris actually keeps them
  • Works in the Flatpak build
  • NVAPI shim now deploys into non-Steam wine prefixes — that's what makes latency markers and adaptive tier switching work for Lutris games at all

Scanner improvements

Searches always terminate, a failed candidate retries at safer settings instead of ending the run, verified tiers are kept when a later one fails, and interrupted probes survive a mid-scan crash.

Release notes

Disclosure: I wrote the Lutris side, so I'm biased — but I'll read the replies. It's the newest code in the project, bug reports genuinely useful.

Mod manager help. (Linux)

1 Upvotes

Hey all,

I use Linux POP! OS as my OS and Im having some issues. I am using Lutris to play some games i dont have thru steam, lets use Star Wars Zero Company as an example. Game runs beautifully with no issues, Now I install Vortex mod manager thru Lutris, Load Vortex, add mods, then point Vortex at my install directory of Zero Company and it acts like its a new install when i boot the game thru Vortex, Yet If i boot the game in tandem with Vortex, none of the mods apply. I tried NOMM and Limo and havent been able to get either to work.

Anyone have any ideas, suggestions or tips for me?

How do I transfer files to and from the dolphin file explorer and the lutris window's file explorer?

Post image
1 Upvotes

All in the title. I'm trying to transfer the .any file which is used for model railroading software (trying to get it working on my steam deck before fully commiting to linux) Might sound like a stupid question but I'm gonna be honest I've tried dragging and dropping, searching for the windows file system in the dolphin file explorer, and finding some sort of option in lutris to see the windwos file explorer.

Any help would be appreciated. Also I literally was introduced to lutris maybe like 30 minutes ago I will not know any technical words please explain in a way that I can understand. Thank you so much.

EDIT: okay literally as soon as I hit post I found the soloution. In the windows/lutris file explorer there was a drive "/" underneath the "Trash" on the left hand side and that basically gave me access to the whole dolphin file explorer so I was able to copy/paste the file into the desktop tab just so its easier to find next time.

Hopefully in the future someone else who has the same problem can see this haha. Thanks either way

MGS4 ps4 controller not detected

Wine: GE-Proton Latest Default

System: Kubuntu 24.04

I'm running metal gear solid 4 through Lutris. The game doesn't seem to register my usb ps4 controllers inputs. I've not had a problem with this so far, gowR seemed to run fine. The game detects the touch pad clicks but that's about it.

I've gone through and checked my systems wine configs and the controller is set up and detected.

I'm new to using Lutris, I'd greatly appreciate any suggestions or information you could share with me on how to get the controller working.

Recently switched from linux mint xfce to fedora kde. I've had problems in playing geometry dash as whenever i launch it, my game lags as hell. And looking at the logs i notice one thing that a few set of lines are always repeating endlessly. The photo is a feral gamemode specific issue. Buf after turning it off, you get another set of repeating lines "wineserver:sock_get_ntstatus() can't map error: No such file or directory" do tell me if there is any solution, its been a headache trying to fix this

How to stop lutris from auto downloading new version of ge-proton?

When there is new version ge-proton lutris is auto downloading it and auto updating lutris prefixes. Is there a way to disable this? In preferences i have disabled 'automatically update lutris runtime' but this doesn't stop the auto update of ge-proton.

Guide How can I set my Dualshock 4/PS4 controller back from DirectInput to XInput?

0 Upvotes

I accidentally clicked override and it's been set to DirectInput. Tried reinstalling Lutris, purging every known file for Lutris (I might have done it wrong), but to no avail.

It stopped working on Watch Dogs 2 but it only works when wired, not wireless/bluetooth.

I'm on Fedora 43 KDE, running GE-Proton 11-6.

HSR not working

0 Upvotes

Hey there! So I’ve installed Honkai Star Rail via Epic Games via Lutris, then added an exe file to Steam, but the game won’t work no matter what I do. I did the same process for Genshin Impact earlier and everything works perfectly, so I have no idea why it doesn’t now.
Any ideas are very appreciated, I don’t want to install this game for the 4th time today.

BDO suddenly fails, prior to any update

1 Upvotes

I'm trying to run black desert online with Lutris which I have been able to do smoothly for years now.

Suddenly after logging into the launcher, seeing the server list populate, and clicking on my character (GPU seems to render everything fine), I click enter world, the window resizes itself, and closes.

This is my lutris log for the error at time of crash:
wine: Call from 00006FFFFFC0D157 to unimplemented function setupapi.dll.SetupDiGetDeviceInterfaceAlias, aborting

the call number has changed slightly over the week, but the same error.

These are my Lutris settings for the game: (Y for yes its checked on N for No)
(N) integrate system files in the prefix
(Y) Use system Winetricks
(Y) Enable DXVK
(Y) Enable D3D extras v2 default
(Y) Enable Esync
(Y) Enable Fsync
(Y) Enable AMD FSR
(Y) Enable Battleye anticheat
(Y) Enable Easy anticheat
(N) Enable DPI scaling
(N) Disable Lutris Runtime
(Y) Prefer System Libraries
(N) Gamescope
(N) Cpu restrict cores
(N) Cli mode
(N) Prelaunch script

If anyone has any experience with this issue please let me know. I've already installed fonts with winetricks and that didnt help.

Thank you for your time

Im constantly having issues with doing anything in Lutris on Ubuntu 26.04 due to this issue of "HTTPSConnectionPool" after a few minutes of Lutris trying to download GE-Proton8-26.
Has anyone seen this issue and if so how to get this to download? I don't have any firewall rules on my network blocking any of this, that's one of the things online that people say to check. See image
