What are /r/Lutris' favorite Products & Services?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

Go here https://lutris.net/games/the-witcher-enhanced-edition/ and press install. Point Lutris to the local exe, the script will take care of the rest.

Personally, I use Lutris to organize all my Windows (and even native Linux) games. You can install games with one click from their website, and you never have to manage wine prefixes or other settings. Lutris will configure everything for you neatly. It even supports Steam, GoG, and Humble Bundle integrations so all your games show up in one, neat library.

All of them. Before an installer get published it needs to be revisited, I assume strycore and such are doing this. Also afaik they do also maintain some installers but the majority of installers are maintained by the community.

I do keep a separate git repository where I work on installers I am involved in and then publish them to lutris.net. This is to keep a) track about external changes by others b) to have a personal issue board to fix installers if they get broken by a game updates and c) to revert changes accidentally done to a lutris installer.

I had this issue multiple times in the past. Some random dude fiddled around with an working installer because it was not working for him for whatever reason (maybe wrong or missing system configurations or just out dated packages) and therefore start to change stuff of the installer. Sometimes someone did even removed things from an installer which looked to him unnecessary but actually where necessary in order to make the game work. And therefore I started a separate git repo to avoid such issues.

Edit: No I am not part of the lutris team :D

Use Rockstar Launcher config instead of individual game scripts for Lutris:

https://lutris.net/games/rockstar-games-launcher/

Don’t use fsync and esync at the same time either one or the other. Fsync is only supported on custom kernels like Manjaro, Xanmod, Zen, etc. If you don’t have one of those then just select esync and leave fsync off.

Delete the prefix entirely and let the install script above make a new one.

The reason this happens is because the GTA install script excludes the rockstar game service background program because it use to cause issues with wine but it’s fixed on wine 6.14 so I updated the rockstar launcher script to remove the exclusion.

> I downloaded Lutris (obviously), and I have the python script in a folder.

Waitwhat, downloaded from where, using what instructions, and what do you mean python script in a folder? The official installation instructions for Debian make no mention at all of any such thing.

What output are you getting when you run

lutris -d

in a terminal?

I don't use Debian so I cannot advise on that, is this the Lutris script you used?

https://lutris.net/games/satisfactory/

If so the script installs a lot of dependencies, that could be missing from your installation.

If this still does not fix it, post this in Linux Gaming subreddit, more eyes over there so more likely to find a solution.

~~Right click game, configure, system options, scroll to the environment variables section, add a new one with name PROTON_NO_ESYNC and value 1. Repeat for any additional variables.~~

Edit: Ah, my bad, the above is objectively wrong; after a quick look at what it's doing, it turns out the Proton runner built into Steam is the one parsing those and setting up the environment based on them--and when running a game using a Proton Wine build from Lutris, the Proton runner isn't invoked.

Will probably need to reverse engineer this -- lookinh through Steam's Proton runner for the name of that envvar would be a start. E.g., here and then following up on what it's doing. /u/XRaTiX 's advice about using the toggle is likely the easiest way :)

Edit 2: In this particular case, the Proton runner sets the environment variable WINEESYNC to value 1 if PROTON_NO_ESYNC is not present -- i.e., the Lutris configuration esync UI toggle button will actually control esync, since it sets WINEESYNC when it's on.

Not exactly. As long as you use an application that is running native code on ARM, gaming is quite possible.

Examples:

• Any game based on the XNA-Platform can run natively via FNA (reimplementation of XNA that runs on ARM via mono) for example Celeste. Here is a guide how to make Celeste run in the Pi4, which I tried myself. It runs really well: https://hackmd.io/@djazz/Sysdqjva8

• Almost any console emulator (up to N64) compiled for ARM.

Try a VPN. This usually is a problem when connecting to Lutris server. ProtonVPN offer a free tier and native Linux client. I use it when stuffs like this happen (, Ubisoft Connect, Lutris, etc...).

This is a HIGHLY NOT RECOMMENDED setup. Having windows and linux use the same ntfs partition is a bad idea in so many ways.

That said, it's possible, and I do this, too. However, I've split my drive into two partitions, so I can keep games I only ever run on linux on ext4, because it's just less trouble. basically I only keep the ntfs drive around for windows-only games, this way steam can keep them updated while running on linux, so i don't have to do that when I boot into windows to actually play them.

There are many reasons your steam games from windows may not be running through proton, due to some quirk or other of ntfs on linux. Maybe it's mounted as read-only because you didn't unmount it in windows properly, maybe execute permissions aren't properly set... etc. etc.

The simplest fix is to shrink your ntfs partition in windows, then create a new ext4 partition in linux, and move you installs over into a second steam library folder on a better suited file system.

At the very least, you need to take ownership of the partition in linux, before anything on it will run, if you haven't done that, start there. From there make sure you mount it using sane parameters in fstab. You can then go on to switching to a more performant ntfs driver implementation, such ntfs3 from this AUR if on arch/manjaro.

If you copied over your Epic games into the wine prefix (with the C: folder pretending to be the C: drive) then they are almost definitely on ext4, and that's the reason they work. Not something special about Lutris.

I'm having the same issue.

Installing from https://lutris.net/games/league-of-legends/

Wine
Standard (Launch Helper) version

last published 3 weeks, 5 days ago

keep getting Failed to execute process. Check that the file exists

using the normal installer since i'm on NA

Woooo, despite not using the Battle.Net version, installing these dependencies made it work. Thank you for making me realize it!

And the Warmane version are supported!

SOLUTION:

I somewhat followed the lutris game page: https://lutris.net/games/cities-skylines/

I had to manually find the old Wine version 5.21, available here: https://github.com/lutris/wine/releases?page=3

Then used the Lutris page "Install", which installed a second version of the EGS (I already had a version previously installed, they didn't install to the same exact location within wine, so i had 2 copies launched and in my tray) which as the Lutris page notes you have to use to manually install Cities: Skylines. I'm not sure, but I probably could have skipped this step and installed it from the first instance, but because it was already there, I just uninstalled the second EGS instance.

I then just changed the lutris "Game option" tab executable line to point directly to the cities: /home/mooky1977/Games/cities-skylines/drive_c/Program Files/Epic Games/CitiesSkylines/Cities.exe

And then I right-click added shortcuts to the application menu and my desktop from inside lutris.

The lutris launcher doing it this way also made the correct configuration that automatically pointed to the right wine version by default in its shortcut, instead of the current version.

That's my convoluted story. Suffice it to say, it wasn't as easy as many newer games.

• Lutris version: 0.5.9.1
• Application: https://lutris.net/games/battlenet/
• Video of the issue: https://youtu.be/Z49Af0XxYG8

Decription: When using target markers in the classic_era version of world of warcraft, the game freezes up completely and even locks up the computer for a few seconds.

Target markers work in the TBC version of the game.

After last update I even couldn't start Arena, had to reinstall with default installer (https://lutris.net/api/installers/magic-the-gathering-arena-latest-self-updating?format=json) I changed used wine version to 6.03 (instead of 5.x)

Hey bud, pretty sure all I did change out the URL in the default install script with the older client's URL.

If that doesn't work, you should be able to download the older client then change out the URL in the script with the path you downloaded the older client to.

• Install lutris version of Rockstar game launcher from lutris Website Link: https://lutris.net/games/rockstar-games-launcher/

• When it ask you for for the Source of the Rockstar game launcher, Choose Select File In the Source: Menu

• Then Choose the .EXE file downloaded from the link in Reddit thread and continue installing it.

Did you use the unpublished installer here? https://lutris.net/games/diablo-2-resurrected/

This worked well for me. I just had to get a newer wine version (wine-ge-6.18) to improve performance on Act IV. https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/pyogyp/diablo_2_resurrected_100fps_with_wine_devel_618/

Lutris - Version 0.5.8.4 with this script

https://lutris.net/games/crash-bandicoot-4-its-about-time/

Ran into the same issue... fix:

https://lutris.net/games/rockstar-games-launcher/

read the latest comment -> hit show replies, follow the link to the download the previous version of the launcher and use that. Works!

Try deleting the Wine Prefix and reinstall (delete the folder where you download the launcher and the game),just days back someone installed GTA V on Lutris and it works just fine so yours should be the same.

Also are using Lutris script? What I mean is if you are using the installer depending on where you have the game.

(Assuming you want to install GTA V)

https://lutris.net/games/grand-theft-auto-v/

Hey, I stumbled on your thread after searching for some tips on making my mumble overlay work with Lutris.

For what it's worth, I managed to launch EVE without any issue with the DXVK and ESYNC - 1796697 version, using the lutris-fshask-6.14-3-x86_64 wine version.

The only issue I had, is that I (accidentally?) clicked "Launch the game" during the installation, which made it hang up in the Lutris install. After waiting for the updates, I just closed the launcher and the lutris install finished without any issues.

That sucks man :(

In the Lutris FAQ they mention something about problems when downloading runners and other components. See the section "Runners and other lutris provided files fail to download". The issue seems to affect mostly users of older distros like Ubuntu 18.04 or earlier. Hopefully the info there will be useful for you.

I didn't have this exact problem, but I did have some others when I was using PulseAudio. With Pipewire I didn't encounter any problems with sound when playing bf4.

EDIT: Did you try this?: > To fix 1 second microstutters in the game, remove write permissions for the Origin folder: > chmod -w -R Games//drive_c/users//Application\ Data/Origin

source

If you click Lutris on the left side, under Sources, then search using the box up top, you can install games using scripts that way.

If you're looking to modify a script, the source for the scripts will be on https://lutris.net/ if you search for the game up top.

Info on how to write a fresh script from scratch can be found @ https://github.com/lutris/lutris/blob/master/docs/installers.rst

are you looking on the website or in the app? If you look in the app then go on the site for example

https://lutris.net/games/star-wars-x-wing-alliance/

look at the install button there is a arrow and the menu

Lutris's WoW script does install quite a few winetricks: https://lutris.net/games/install/8505/view

It's very different than just creating a clean prefix and installing the game, which is what gave me the best results.

Every game will require a separate install. Just installing the launcher is in most cases not something that will work as each game will require a different set of tweaks in order to run.

Follow the steps and installer script for specific games on the lutris website.

F.ex.: for Overwatch: https://lutris.net/games/overwatch/

It's not gone it's just harder to do. Add a linux game using the correct name as listed on lutris.net so that you can get the banner art and stuff. I feel like GNOME game launcher integration should be on their to-do list though.

*scratches head*

Beats me so far. Please see my later edit at the bottom -- maybe you can just manually fetch, extract and dump all the runtimes into the appropriate dir and skip the part where Lutris itself croaks...

Edit: If that works and you get hit by a similar snag with the runners, you can find the URLs at https://lutris.net/api/runners similarly.

It runs, I just played a couple of matches with some friends.

I used the Origin installer from Lutris, and it runs out of the box(make sure to read the github link they instruct you to read). Remember to disable Origin in Game because that crashes the game even with Windows. I also disabled all the notifications.

When you get Origin games from other platforms, if your accounts are synchronized, it will appear on your list of games.

-

If that is not the case with Epic. You can try to copy the Origin configurations to your Epic installation.

Yes, use the Lutris scripts on the game page?

https://lutris.net/games/fallout-new-vegas/

And use the one that matches where you have purchased the game from.

https://lutris.net/games/grand-theft-auto-v/

This link, then this Wine Epic Games Launcher version install thing. Rest is next next next. Same as windows.

>messing with wine

what did you do to get the black bar?

do you keep an eye out for these lutris install scripts? they might help.

https://lutris.net/games/genshin-impact/

looking forward to update#3! THANKS!

After installing Overwatch, compiling shaders for the first time takes a long time. For me it was around 5-10 minutes of just waiting in the main menu. Just let it run through until the text on the bottom left disappears.

After that, it should only appear briefly after starting the game again. That is, until a new patch is released.

That being said, I never installed Overwatch with the Battle.net install script. I used the Overwatch install script as it has been configured specifically for Overwatch. Both can work fine, but if you keep having troubles, it could be worth it to reinstall it using the Overwatch script.

Not every game has an installer. They are created by the community so it may be that no one has bothered with this game yet. If you want to be a badass, go ahead and write the installer and submit it to lutris.net and no one else will have to go through this.

Or you could just install it manually.

EDIT: typo

Yes! Take a look at the watch dogs 2 lutris script.

https://lutris.net/games/install/14360/view

It executes uplay://launch/2688/0 which launches the game from within uplay in the wine prefix where it was installed.

pacman is the package manager for Arch. Since you're on Fedora, it's dnf.

Have you tried just installing the game from https://lutris.net/games/warcraft-iii-reforged/?

Also, you can configure wine and dxvk versions directly in Lutris, you don't need to install them separately.

So you overwatch already set up? Good

Open lutris, open overwatch. the launcher will appear. From now on just do it normally. want to install WOW? jut go there and ask to install it. it will show you will be installed at C: and this is inside your overwatch prefix.

You can change overwatch icon to battle.net icon on lutris or something if you prefeer. You dont need to change anything, just understand what is happening

edit === the wine prefix is the place where it will fake the windows OS for your game. Is just that, faking windows. Just keep it organized, you will need different prefixes for most of the games. All my battle.net games use this prefix https://lutris.net/games/battlenet/

all my epic games store Games use this prefix https://lutris.net/games/epic-games-store/

Almost all other games have a prefix for itself.

Make sure you have the dependencies listed on this page for your distro listed including 32-bit libraries like wine 32-bit, and all of the required vulkan stuff for your specific driver if you want to use DXVK. (amd/nvidia)

https://lutris.net/downloads/

https://github.com/lutris/docs/blob/master/InstallingDrivers.md

Here's another list that might overlap with the other two pages but make sure you have every dependency for your distro on those pages too.

ubuntu: libgnutls30:i386 libldap-2.4-2:i386 libgpg-error0:i386 libsqlite3-0:i386

Arch: lib32-gnutls lib32-libldap lib32-libgpg-error lib32-sqlite lib32-libpulse

Fedora: gnutls gnutls-devel openldap openldap-devel libgpg-error sqlite2.i686 sqlite2.x86_64 (Both i686 and x86_64 versions)

Solus: libgnutls libgnutls-devel libgnutls-32bit libgnutls-32bit-devel openldap-devel openldap-32bit-devel libgpg-error-devel libgpg-error-32bit libgpg-error-32bit-devel sqlite3 sqlite3-32bit

OpenSuse: libgnutls.so.30 libgnutls-devel libgnutls.so.28 libldap libgpg-error (Or libgpg-error.so.0)

Gentoo: gnutls libgpg-error sqlite

You want to be installing the Lutris script for GTA V not the Epic Games Store one.

https://lutris.net/games/grand-theft-auto-v/

Usually the individual game scripts will contain patches or tweaks required to get the game running that will not typically be found in the generic store scripts.

Ryan

Hi thanks, I do not have any old lutris options (or any other lutris runner options than "lutris-5.7-11-x86-64 (default)". Did you explicitly have to download an older lutris runner? If so where did you do it? Thanks so much for your help, i very much appreciate it

I find here: https://www.kernel.org/ but there is no 5.2 option as far as i see

In winetricks you need to install mfc140.dll and this run.

Possibly more dlls to install?

https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/5165

It is a nVidia specific problem - https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/4450

Your only real option at the moment is to play it on Windows.

Is your external hard drive formatted as NTFS (i.e. it was first used on Windows)? If yes, this can cause issues with Windows programs and you have to mount the hard drive in a special way to make it work, as described here: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/wiki/Using-a-NTFS-disk-with-Linux-and-Windows

It looks like Lutris uses runners which are very similar to libretro cores in how they work. Not only similar but it includes quite a few libretro cores.

A major difference is that it also includes things that are not in libretro as some things like WINE and Yuzu do have portable versions but the main line is very much tied to x86.

if he keeps facing problems, tell him to use this script to install Epic Games Store and just install the game you normally does (its a lutris script made to makes things easier) https://lutris.net/games/epic-games-store/

To make things simple, if a game is windows only, you can check on lutris.net to see how well it works though Lutris. You only have to click install if it works well. Because you run a Windows game, the game thinks that you are on windows, no cross platform functionality needed!

Your best resources will usually be the Lutris installer guide doc) and some combination of: - Winhq post for the game (doesn't look like breakpoint has one yet, and the recent wildlands entry was last used for wine 3.19-staging, so probably not too helpful) - Wine guides users put together - Installers for similar games (wildlands has one so may be a good reference

The main thing is figuring out how wine needs to be set up (Lutris can use both wine tweaks via environment settings, as well as winetricks to modify the prefix); from there, its just having the yaml formatting so the installer script makes those settings for you step by step. I've gotten more involved in this sort of thing because of the League of Legends and Warframe installers, but those don't have much complexity for special DRM like uplay or anything, so I can't offer much there, but feel free to message me, I'd be happy to at least give you a spot to vent, haha

First time I hear about it , I can't even find it on the download list.

https://lutris.net/downloads/

It looks like you will need to build it from source but I didn't do it before myself.

>because it runs way more smoothly than windows

Well, I wouldn't recommend a distro not aimed for beginners if it's your first time in Linux , why not try r/Ubuntu or r/ManjaroLinux ?

So the answer is that some are and some are not. I managed to get one of the ones that is on the list, Champions of Krynn, to show up in my library. When I click on it in Lutris it acts like the game is going to install, but also asks me for the installer.

Is that supposed to work that way? If so I guess I'm super spoiled with GameHub which just downloads and installs it. I really wish GOG would just make their installer for Linux considering how much they seem to support it throughout their store. :(

LEAGUE IS BROKEN ON ALL VERSIONS OF WINE AS OF PATCH 9.20 (including this installer). This is likely caused by a change to their anti-cheat. You can still log in and use the client, but games will not start. Expect *at least* 2 weeks for a fix to be found. Uses a 3rd party build of Wine shipped in an AppImage container. This build of Wine has not been audited for security purposes.

From https://lutris.net/games/league-of-legends/ 8 hours ago

Try downloading the runners that are slow to download from the Lutris intergace manually from the URLs present in https://lutris.net/api/runners (or in https://lutris.net/api/runners/wine if you specifically mean the Wine runners) using a web browser. If it's still slow that way, the problem doesn't lie with Lutris, but with your Internet connection--possibly bad peering between your ISP and the runner repository. Recent runners are hosted on DigitalOcean in one of their New York datacenters, judging by the lutris.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com hostname, so maybe you have some bandwidth problems to the US. Previously the runners were hosted on lutris.net which is fronted by CloudFlare, which have a much better worldwide presence than DigitalOcean (let alone a hardcoded DO location.)

1.7TiB free on this drive, definitely enough space. Even my root partition has 80GiB free.

If it's my internet that's the problem, there is literally nothing more I can do.

I'm using a powerline adapter to get a semi-wired connection. It's more reliable than wifi and about the same speed; I don't really get interruptions due to the connection to the router. My ISP is really crap though, I tend to get several-hour interruptions at least once a week. I get smaller blips that cause buffering when watching streams but I never had an issue with large downloads being effectively impossible, though now that seems to be largely the work of software.

Back when I was on Windows, every frontend would automatically resume downloads after interruptions, GOG Galaxy included. However Lutris and Minigalaxy don't seem to do that. Minigalaxy silently aborts, and Lutris just halts forever, reporting a near-infinite estimated completion time. Vivaldi stops quietly and can be manually resumed, but if I need to do that every 2-5min over the course of a 6hr+ download, that is just pain, I'd rather re-purchase these games on Steam.

The only other single-file downloads I've had anywhere near this big are Linux system images, but I didn't have this problem there either, despite going through the browser.

You should not use x360ce, it's obsolete and buggy on Linux. On Linux I'm using antimicrox, it's worth to try https://github.com/AntiMicroX/antimicrox

It's a native application.

5.19 also works

You can grab the PlayOnLinux 5.19 wine distribution without installing PlayOnLinux itself: PlayOnLinux-wine-5.19-staging-linux-amd64.tar.gz

Extract that somewhere (make sure current user has write access to the directory), then update your lutris Battle.net configuration to point to the 64 bit wine bin (screenshot).

You'll want to install vulkan, probably both 32- and 64-bit. Without it dxvk can't function. Laptop or no, you also need to install the nvidia proprietary driver if you want a quality gaming experience. I recommend reading over the proton requirements, as those are a good start to getting yourself set up properly.

They announced it today on their Lutris discord: >@everyone In order to upgrade Lutris to 0.5.1.2 and keep receiving updates for it on Ubuntu, Pop!OS, Linux Mint and Elementary, please switch to our new Launchpad PPA: https://lutris.net/downloads/ The PGP keys in OBS repo got expired so you won't receive any updates until you make a switch. And if you have Pop!_OS from System76, we suggest to install Lutris from Pop Store.

I just installed successfully and was able to play a game without incident.

Please note, when installing the title using the installer here: https://lutris.net/games/magic-the-gathering-arena/

After installation is completed, make sure to press "close", not "launch". Afterwards, you can select the title from your library and press Play.

In case something got quite messed up with your wine prefix, I'd suggest removing it from your library including to delete the contents from disk. Make sure that ~/Games/magic-the-gathering-arena/ has been deleted, and then start the installer from the link above.

Looking here: https://lutris.net/games/magic-the-gathering-arena/

There are a non-trivial number of people who have been experiencing issues with this title / it's install script including stating "Latest MTGA update (4th march) killed something again, game does not update properly."

I however am downloading a copy to see what happens and if there is any way to make it work sanely. Considering it seems to break with some regularity citing client updates, I can't say if I will have much success.

I believe your videos will be more popular on r/PeerTube since there's a need for videos like these, while on youtube the competition is too high. This doesn't mean you have to give up on youtube, just post them in both places.

A good instance to sign up on would be bittube.video, or you could find another instance here.
