So, Lutris is having issues running Windows games on my system lately.This is on Linux Mint, and I don't know what the fuck I did, but all that happened was I reinstalled my OS and copied my Home folder back to my system, and suddenly, Lutris doesn't want to function anymore.I even tried reinstalling Mint again, without copying any hidden folders in my Home folder back, and it's still doing this same shit. How can I fix this?
Works on my machine
>>106858914settings files are probably not pointing to the correct locations. I never use lutris anymore I just run everything through proton/steam, makes shit easier.
>>106858914install Bottles
>>106858950And?Do you have any idea why this might not be working? Could it have something to do with Secure Boot? Could it have something to do with Nvidia? Could it have something to do with NVRAM keys?...
>>106858956How would this happen when I installed Lutris on a brand new system with nothing on it? I only copied things in my Home folder afterwards. It's the same exact way I installed it the first time (and yes, I did it through the Software Manager), which worked, but I'm at a complete loss as to why this is happening now.
>>106859006I was under the assumption you copied the lutris files that live in your home folder over from old install. Most config files live in the home folder, so if you copy them over they maybe be incorrect for your new system.
Did you install wine properly with all dependencies? Start lutris from terminal with lutris -d and google any error you see (errors, not warnings or notes)
lutris -d
>>106859042No. I did that the first time, which is why I reinstalled my OS again, this time without copying any hidden files over, no system files, no nothing.Unless it stores some config files that aren't hidden in system directories like .var, and are visible to the user that I am just somehow missing, then I have no idea why this is happening.
>>106859048Starting it from the terminal does not work with the Flatpak version. I didn't need to install Wine manually anyway, since Lutris did that for me.Can you tell me how I can run it from the terminal with the Flatpak version? Because I can't find an answer for that, for some reason...
>You WILL install the launcher for the launcher that installs 50% of 50% of the time on Linux™No thanks, Linuxjeets. I'll be sticking to Win10, the white man's OS.
>>106858914You're not going to like this answer, but it's because of jews (really).
>>106859160Have fun having the shortest service life of any major Windows release :)
>>106859190Imagine pissing off the Jews so badly that they break Lurtis.
>>106859160>50% of 50%Bro can't reduce fractions.
I had a similar problem with lutris not even running Linux native games, there were a set of libraries that it depends on that were updated but not all of them so when I finally got everything current the games ran fine.I wish I had more info for you
>>106859198>Every Linux version is outdated within the year>Good fucking luck getting legacy Linux applications running on modern installs >If you don't upgrade everything breaks >If you do upgrade everything breaks>No established standard for installing applications after 50 years of existence >No guarantee that a given distro is going to exist in 5 years >Still bickering about display servers or some shit>No HDR>No multi-monitor >No professional applications >Despite years of work the average Linux user has to unfuck at least one thing a week on their OS >Despite years of development windows application support is still spotty>Shitty user communities >Devs are majority fags trannies furries and nolives >Spotty or non-existent gesture support on laptops>Spotty hi-DPI support for high resolution displays >"65% of Linux users are autistic, 56% unemployed" - Reuters 2024Nigger who is really the one who needs support here
>>106859257So, you don't know where any of these libraries were?It runs Linux games for me fine, though.
>>106859260Imagine being more wrong than this.>Nigger who is really the one who needs support here(You)
>>106859141No idea honestly, I'm not using flatpack and I always install wine from repo. Why are you using flatpack Jookie? Just install it normally
>>106858914Speaking off, is there an easier way to launch games on Linux than running everything through a launcher? I like how easy they make running games, but it would be nice to have something that did most of that stuff in the background without a bloated Steam knockoff tacked onto it.
>>106859365You think a Linux noob can figure out how to use GitHub?I'm more confused on the fact that it ran perfectly before, and now it doesn't. Mint is a noob-ass distro for people who shouldn't have to deal with crap like this.
>>106859385You can make shell script shortcuts that just run a command like WINEPREFIX=/home/username/pissjar WINEDLLOVERRIDES="dinput=n,b” mangohud /home/username/game/japanesepervertgame.exeor something like that
>>106859324>No point-by-point peer-reviewed refutation with multiple sources per argument I accept your concession
>>106859365>>106859398*It's not like either version offered on the Software Manager works for me anymore, anyway.
>>106859398You have fresh install now, I would at least try to install wine and lutris from repo. It really isn't that complicated, there must be some guides on mint forum. I don't know what kind of games you play, but I never had any problem with version from repo (that can't be fixed) and I have almost 100 games installed on debian stable.
>>106859423
>>106859416Dude, you are very narrow minded. Imagine looking back on this in the future when you've gotten smart, or not.
>>106859405I suppose, I just wish there was a middle ground. Like a simple GUI for setting up prefixes and shortcuts and all the other tweaks you might need, but without having to start a full featured gaming launcher.
>>106859446>Ad hominem Uuhm honey you better lean to argue before posting again, okay?
>>106859447So you want to click add desktop/application menu shortcut in lutris?
Just installed linux and been testing things. Seems like gaming is still a total clusterfuck.I don't mind editing config files, in fact that's what I prefer to do but still. Don't even want to type more than this.
>>106859432I want you to tell me why this isn't working anymore when it worked previously. I want you to tell me what could be different, anything at all.I'm not going to install the same thing from a different source just to circumvent trying to fix what's broken on here.
>>106859468lutris is just point and click
>>106858914I switched to heroic because lutris kept letting me down
>>106859463Essentially, but unless I'm retarded or having a stroke, launching the shortcut also launches Lutris.If not I have to jump off the Heroic and bash my head against the wall trying to make Lutris install a VCRedist properly for once in it's life.
Op. Just install arch + nvidia drivers. You dont need more. Try this toohttps://github.com/DavidoTek/ProtonUp-Qt
>>106859481I don't know.
>>106859468If you want a smooth linux gaming experience you buy shit on steam. Otherwise you're probably gonna have to tinker yes.
>>106859437Aaaaaand, it's not there. :c
>>106858914lutris just sucks and has bad support. Steam proton has actual professional people working on it. No brainer these days.
>>106859141>Starting it from the terminal does not work with the Flatpak versionYou sure? Typically flatpak releases just have very different names, like org.lutris.whatever
>>106859551what is not there? click on wine runners in the left menu and there are 2 buttons, one is settings and the other one is wine version management
>>106859516Posting screenshots of your game library on Lutris is not going to un-fuck my broken outlier system.
>>106859481You've posted absolutely zero actionable information. No logs, no configs, no nothing. No one is going to help you.
launch lutris in terminal, try launching a gameprovide logs
>>106859559>You sure?lutris -dCommand 'lutris' not found>Typically flatpak releases just have very different names, like org.lutris.whateverAnd I don't know how to launch it from the terminal like this.
>>106859530>just consume and everything is fineWhat sort of zoomer retard are you?
>>106859565I do not have lutris-GE-Proton7-32 listed, is this what you wanted me to install?
>>106859605I am trying to figure out how to even get those! Can you tell me how to get to those?
>>106859685lol>>106859706see >>106859626
>>106859706 /var/lib/flatpak/exports/bin/ Check if you have that folder, look inside and you should see something like org.bullshit.lutris. Run that command in terminal and add -d (for debug)
/var/lib/flatpak/exports/bin/
>>106859727I don't know what the hell happened to that image, the only thing it should've shown is lutris-GE-Proton7-32 not being there anyway.see >106859626kys

>>106859803Could you not read that I couldn't get this to work? You didn't even tell me to try something else when you posted, it's too late for you.>>106859755Nevermind, it worked with the system package version.Here's what happens when the game fails to launch, and yes this is torrented.

>>106859315Nope, it was strange since it was the inverse with windows games working fine but anything Linux native not working. I doubt there's any overlap in our issues then, I just installed a new program to install flatpak updates and eventually stumbled into whatever I needed.

>>106860732You need to fix your environment. Something is clearly wrong - >you don't have necessary dependencies installedor>you don't have necessary environment variables pointing to the correct locationMaybe use perplexity.ai and give it your error message, it'll scour internet for you.Asking 4chan and /g/ of all places is often useless and in this case, as linux gaming is a massive turd, odds are really small that you're going to get someone else to work it out for you.
>>106860744If they said anything about it, I didn't know what it meant. Can you show me where?But I can assure you my graphics card still works in a different capacity, FlightGear flight simulator isn't giving me any issues.
>>106860732To add- if you are sure you have all the correct packages it simply tries to use your integrated graphics instead of your main gpu.
>>106860822>You need to fix your environment.I don't know how, but this is what I'm trying to do...If this is because of the Haswell Vulkan thing, things were giving me warnings about that when it worked before, anyway. Can't say I've seen Lutris logs specifically, before, though.>Asking 4chan and /g/ of all places is often uselessIt's not my fault the Mint forums were even less helpful than 4chan, the Gaming board crawls at a snail's pace.

>>106860862You're illiterate. Ok. You have world class ai tools at your disposal and you are still crying.
>>106860905Is it so fucking hard to point this out!?I already used the AI, and all it's telling me about is Haswell Vulkan crap. I don't even fucking remember if it was actually giving me warnings about it before but it just worked anyway, or if I'm making that up. I swear to God, I didn't do this much crap for these games to work before. Nothing I am trying is working, I don't know what this issue is anymore! I can't fucking remember, okay!?

>>106860905Can you show me how illiterate I am, and link to the posts that I haven't answered to yet? All I've seen was "probably", and someone telling me to install gamemode crap that didn't even work, and some moron telling me I'm using integrated graphics.See >>106861080you fucking retard.
>>106861080Open lutris, go to preferences and click on system. Scroll down to graphics and check if lutris can see your nvidia card, if not you aren't using it. Also check on top of system info for vulkan support.
>>106861259It says "Vulkan support: YES" and:[Graphics]Vendor: Unable to obtain glxinfoVulkan Version: 1.3.261Vulkan Drivers: Intel(R) HD Graphics 4600 (HSW GT2) (1.2.305)But this isn't the same as if I were using the actual integrated Intel graphics ("Power Saving") mode, which instead would say:Vulkan support: YES[Graphics]Vendor: IntelOpenGL Renderer: Mesa Intel(R) HD Graphics 4600 (HSW GT2)OpenGL Version: 4.6 (Compatibility Profile) Mesa 25.0.7 (git-742a20f48c)OpenGL Core: 4.6 (Core Profile) Mesa 25.0.7 (git-742a20f48c)OpenGL ES: OpenGL ES 3.2 Mesa 25.0.7 (git-742a20f48c)Vulkan Version: 1.3.261Vulkan Drivers: Intel(R) HD Graphics 4600 (HSW GT2) (1.2.305)There is a clear difference between the two. The Lutris logs also look like this when using NVIDIA "Performance Mode":[INFO:2025-10-11 20:40:00,381:application]: Starting Lutris 0.5.19[INFO:2025-10-11 20:40:00,411:startup]: "card1" is Intel HD Graphics 4600 (8086:0416 1028:05cc i915) Driver None[ERROR:2025-10-11 20:40:00,418:system]: ['vulkaninfo', '--summary'] command failed: Command '['vulkaninfo', '--summary']' returned non-zero exit status 1.[INFO:2025-10-11 20:40:00,434:startup]: "card0" is NVIDIA Corporation GK106GLM [Quadro K2100M] (10de:11fc 1028:15cc nvidia) Driver 470.256.02[WARNING:2025-10-11 20:40:00,436:startup]: Vulkan reports that the 'Intel(R) HD Graphics 4600 (HSW GT2)' device has API version of 1.2.305. 1.3.0 is required for the latest DXVK.
>>106861259>>106861383So, it's able to use both integrated graphics and the Nvidia card. I guess it just really wants to use Intel for Vulkan.But like I said, the game still worked before even when using integrated graphics exclusively.
