I hate when you spend weeks getting games to work and then an update happens and everything is now broken. My copies of Simcity REFUSE to launch in any way and now i can’t reinstall them either. All my other games i had to change the runner and redirect the .exe on each game. I may just install 0.5.19 and see if i can get them to start working again.

Apparently plenty of people had their game libraries ruined by this update as well and i lost all my hours of Simcity, so that sucks. Anyone else having issues with the update version of lutris?

    Yeah, I had to change the runner (is that the term? my UI is in French) for half my games after the update. I suspect it just changed it on my existing game configurations for no reason.

    I had stuff like proton complaining it can’t run 32-bit prefixes, an obscure error saying it couldn’t find gamemode… All fixed when I manually changed the runners.

    Quite annoying when somzthing that just used ro work suddenly breaks everything.

      Of course I read your response in more detail as I am posting my own inquiry about this. I will take a look at the Lutris game-config settings and see what they are now. I wish I knew for sure what it was configured as prior to this update. Could you please elaborate on what you had to change from and what you changed it back to? Cheers.

        I don’t have access to my machine right now, so I can’t check exactly what worked for me. I didn’t have the previous configuration either (the lutris scripts I used to install the games must have done this), so I just tried other options I had for runners. When I checked them they were all set on the last entry on the list.

        I think for the 32-bit prefix error I had to choose a wine one instead (probably latest wine-GE).

        For others that didn’t show anything but had the gamemode error in logs, I switched to another proton version. I remembered being confused seeing two slightly differently worded entries that looked like latest proton GE, and using the other one worked.
