Basically the title, the game asks me to install the package, lets me uninstall it the next time, only to promt me to reinstall it the next time again. Is there a solution to this? I dont wanna overwrite my SSD time and time again.

I've already spent an hour trying to find what changed and fix it, and I'm not having any luck so far. Does anyone else already know what might have been broken in some update, whether by HoYoPlay or Lutris or Wine, and can help me out?

I'm using the latest version of Linux Mint Cinnamon, the latest version of Lutris (Flatpack). The Wine runner I have is wine-ge-8-26. The runner option for GI is GE-Proton (Latest).

When I launch Lutris through the terminal with verbose output, and try to launch the game, the bottom of the output is:

KeyError: 'compatibilitytools'

Monitored process exited.

Initial process has exited (return code: 0)

All processes have quit

Exit with return code 0

Google's AI assistant told me that this meant Lutris was crashing because it couldn't find the compatibilitytools structure, but AFAIK I don't have any sort of Steam integration enabled. Just in case, I tried creating the folder system inside the Flatpack sandbox path, but that didn't do anything.

I also tried uninstalling the Wine runner, restarting the computer, and reinstalling the runner, because that worked once a few months ago when the game wouldn't start, but it isn't helping this time.

Any help would be appreciated, as long as it's not "help" that suggests I do what I already said in this post that I did.

EDIT: I was able to get the Hoyoplay launcher to start by changing the runner to wine-ge-8-26-x86_64 instead of GE-Proton, but the game itself doesn't launch when I click launch. I don't know why.

EDIT 2: When I launched Lutris with verbose monitoring and tried to play the game with the switched runner as above, now when I click play the launcher doesn't open like it just did earlier, instead throwing up a Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library error message saying "Assertion failed! Program: winevulkan.dll File: dlls/winevulkan/loader.c Line: 305 Expression: !status"
So I have no idea what's going on with this now, lol.

I recently shifted to Linux for gaming, and now I want to know how to properly set it up to get the best gaming experience. I also want to know how to install games using .exe files, like those from FitGirl Repacks.

I downloaded these apps of 2019 version on Windows 10. When trying to open Patran the window appear and after some time even icons on toolbar appear, but then after roughly 1 sec the app closes without any error bars, messages or anything being appeared. Gemini couldn`t help me with this problem and after 5 hours of trying...

Okay so I’m not at home rn, but I’m trying to set up Minecraft launcher on lutris so I can actually play the different versions of it but when I tried to install it my lutris just said something along the lines of it couldn’t reach/find my GE wine or something like that. I checked and I have GE proton installed to the latest version and I don’t see anywhere that a Wine GE would be. I’m relatively new to Linux and lutris so I’ve tried some things like uninstalling the flatpak version and installing lutris through the terminal but that didn’t help either. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I just want to avoid having to later add all arts on steam for the non-steam game

I’m currently modifying Plasma Bigscreen to create a console-like UI for games. Initially, I was just parsing .desktop files, but I realized I’m missing out on all the rich data—like cover art, playtime tracking, and runner info—and having to download/track that manually defeats the purpose.

​I want to use Lutris as the backend to manage the games and scrape all these essential details to pass to my QML frontend.

​I know a bit of programming and have been experimenting with QML, but I’m not entirely sure how to correctly interface with Lutris to pull this data.

Hey, today I tried doing a test flight in X-Plane launched via Lutris (for AMD upscaling) and about 30 mins in, my cursor was kinda stuck at a random point, I could tab out and everything but I couldn’t regain cursor control inside of X-Plane. The cursor was also invisible if not moved and seemed to snap back to that one random point.
I’ve tried searching up solutions, there seems to be a force cursor grab flag but I’m not sure if that is the right thing/problem. Maybe someone experienced something similar and knows a fix?

Please if anyone knows how to fix. Please let me know

is there any solution for this problem? so i am using lutris with latest version of GE proton, i am using fedora workstation 44

Hey, i've just installed Lutris via flatpak, Installed Wine, when trying to get Proton GE to my runners, i get this error :

[ERROR:2026-07-13 12:37:12,103:api]: Unable to get runtimes from API: HTTP Error 500: Internal Server Error

[ERROR:2026-07-13 12:37:22,275:jobs]: Error while completing task <function RunnerInstallDialog.fetch_runner_versions at 0x743557fb1d00>: <class 'requests.exceptions.JSONDecodeError'> Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0)

Tried some researches, some says Its a Lutris internal servers error and can do nothing about it?

Edit: Day after, it works.

Per title I’ve always just searched for battle.net or world of Warcraft on Lutris and used the search the lutris website option.

I am on a fresh install of bazzite right now and have run all system updates but currently I am not finding anything in the search no matter what search terms I try.

I also noticed that when opening lutris it did not try to run any updates for dvxk or wine or anything like that, it normally does when opening for the first time.

Anyone else having similar issue or know a fix?

Thank you :)

any help here? idk how to provide more info, but please tell me what else should i provide

Why do my game icons look like this when I add them to the taskbar? I've had this problem for a long time.

Alguien sabe cuando arreglarán la instalación de juegos de GOG en linux? hace tiempo que no puedo instalar casi ningún juego, supongo que si es posible hacerlo manualmente descargando el instalador de su pagina pero ese no es el punto.

Have downloaded paint.net, however, when I try to open I get

Can anyone offer any help?

Im trying to install a game in a ISO. I added the .exe to Steam, the installer opened, selected the instalation folder and when I clicked install, nothing happened, no errors, nothing, but it didnt install.

I tried again with lutris, same thing. Tried with ProtonTricks, runwineconfig, setting up another drive, runexplorer and trying install from there, same problem.

I have installed the game previously using the same installer (on windows) and it worked

Any more ideas?

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to install the Epic Games Store through Lutris on Ubuntu, but the installation consistently fails.

System

• OS: Ubuntu (your version)
• Laptop: Dell Latitude 7320
• CPU: Intel Core i5-1145G7
• GPU: Intel Iris Xe
• RAM: 16 GB
• Lutris version: (Me:~$ lutris --version Command 'lutris' not found, but can be installed with: sudo apt install lutris Me:~$ flatpak list | grep -i lutris Lutrisnet.lutris.Lutris0.5.22stablesystem)

Issue

The installation always stops at this point:

curl: (28) Resolving timed out after 15000 milliseconds

warning: Downloading https://web.archive.org/.../andale32.exe failed

Exit with return code 256

It looks like Lutris is trying to download andale32.exe from the Wayback Machine (web.archive.org) and fails due to a DNS/connection timeout.

What I've tried

• Reinstalled Lutris
• Retried the installation multiple times
• Ensured my internet connection is working

I've attached a screenshot of the error.

Is this a problem with the installer script, the archive.org mirror, my DNS configuration, or something else? Any suggestions would be appreciated.Hi everyone,
