Hello im still new to this whole gaming on linux so im sorry if i dont understand much but ive encountered an issue trying to open street fighter 4 that i downloaded from gnarly, like i did everything right but when i press "play" it goes to "launching" then "stop" and finally "play" again as if it didnt open at all

I am currently on LMDE7, using Lutris to run my GOG games with ProtonGE, and it works great!

However, some games I want to play are Steam exclusive. I do not like Steam because of the DRM, but I know there isn't another way to play certain games without it (I wanna play PAYDAY2 or Unturned for example).

But I know that certain launcher, like Lutris, Heroic or Faugus give you the ability to get Steam games through their API. I know it's not a DRM-free solution, but still better than using Steam itself.

I am confused tho, because I do not know what exactly gets installed through the API.

Is it just the game itself? Do some Steam libraries or files get installed?

And also, how does this then integrate with Steam itself? I personally want zero integration, or at least minimal. I just want to be able to play the offline once installed, and then also multiplayer sometimes, with updates being avaiable.

I do not want Steam to track my hours, achievements or the game I am playing showing on my profile. I do not want Steam installed. I just want the game installed.

I just don't know how exactly Lutris handles this, so, if someone has any advice or experience with this, please share or help.

Hello guys. I have posted the same question in r/SteamDeck already but I'm gonna put it here as well just in case.

So basically, Im trying to play a visual novel using Luna Translator to translate it and the way I've been doing it is running both the game and LT .exe files in the same wine prefix with lutris. It worked fine before but I've used a windows laptop for some time and partially played the game on there. Now when I try to run the .exe file with lutris it seems to not be able to access steam save files or something and I lose my progress. It's not a problem when I open the game with steam, but then I can't use LT as it doesn't see the game.

Is there any way to let the game's .exe access its steam save files? Or a better way to make it work as a whole?

Genuine question, I’ve got to be missing a detail here. If you’re installing the 2001 2-disk CD release of GTA 3, you can search the database in Lutris and the tool will help you through the install. There isn’t a similar option for installing Vice City, though. Is there a specific reason for this?

I'm trying to play the Witcher 2, but when I run the download it will finish downloading and then just end without running the install / trying to launch the game will error with a message saying "launcher not found."

Seems kinda obvious that there is no launcher because the installer never ran, but hiw do I fix this / am I doing something wrong?

Currently getting DCS running with proton runner through lutris, however it ends up reporting that it is cpu bound (drops from 200fps to 40) whenever the mouse is moved. The closest report I've seen to resolving this indicated adding `LD_PRELOAD=“”` as a launch option, but I cannot seem to set the env var to an empty string in Lutris.

I'm not entirely convinced it would work if I could, but at this point just trying to throw anything at the problem in the hopes I don't have to work out how to fix this properly. Any advice would be appreciated, either to the underlying problem or the workaround I'm trying to test.

I was trying to play the amazing spiderman 1(2012) through lutris. But the game isn't launching and showing this error message which caught my eye:

Proton: Error: unable to use parent for game drive, path /home

I have checked every permission and everything related to directory permissions including ACL, but still can't figure it out. Please Help

How can I run the Golden Age 3.6.8 mod using modengine2_launcher.exe? On the Steam Deck via Lutris, I can only launch modengine2_launcher.exe, not StartGoldenAge_Offline.bat. How do I run StartGoldenAge_Offline.bat within Lutris, or otherwise use modengine2_launcher.exe to launch the mod?

I recently tried Lutris for the first time, and almost everything went perfectly. I tested something simple—I installed *LEGO Star Wars: The Clone Wars*—and it runs great, except for two issues.

First, the camera is positioned too high; instead of being focused on the characters, it’s hovering above them, making gameplay awkward.

The second problem is character movement. They move at normal speed when going forward, backward, left, or right, but for some reason, they move extremely slowly when moving diagonally, which also makes playing uncomfortable.

I’m not sure what could be wrong, and since I only used it for the first time a few days ago, I don't know much about the configuration. Maybe changing the Proton version I'm using would fix it?

Is there a way to run Office 2010 or Office 2007 using Lutris with Wine 11.18? Does anyone know about this or can help me install it? Helppppo

I'm extremely new to linux and i'm trying to install The Witcher 3, Gog version with Lutris. I'm using mint and installed it using the flatpak from the software manager.

When i log in to Gog it prompts me to choose files to download and takes quite a while downloading. But then when the installer opens it asks me tor the bin files again, so I ended up downloading the manually and picking them from my downloads folder. In any case, once the installation is done I can launch the game form the installer, but if i close the installer, the Lutris windows gets stuck in the title message.

According to my research that message means everything went according to plant but i can't close the window or interact with it. What am I supposed to do? The only button available is abort.

Also I'm not sure if there is now trash data around the computer since i tried this three different times, but my pc's free storage space has gone down a lot.

Also. Is lutris the best way to install it?

Sorry for my ignorance and thanks for reading.

So Ive been thinking If I should get the legion go s for a while and I'm curious if Linux would be better.

I think I have made a good one finally. Its usable for all "immersive gaming" "competitive gaming" and "music". Not "perfect" for any single of these goals but its a good middle ground for all. I know some of us just wants to use one EQ for everything.

(32 Hz +3.5) (64 Hz +2.5) (125 Hz +2) (250 Hz +1) (500 Hz 0) (1 kHz 0) (2 kHz +1) (4 kHz +1.5) (8 kHz +1) (16 kHz +0.5)

Using the Linux install of steam onto ChromeOS. Steam opens just fine, but any time I try to launch a game that is installed, it will not open. I’ve tried opening up the game files but it just leads to an error saying that they’re not installed when they are. I tried backing up the files into the Linux and it doesn’t work either. Help please

With their being so many different installation methods (SNAPs, Flatpak, .deb, apt) what are the advantages and disadvantages that should be considered when choosing which installation type to use? For example, what is the ranking in order of easiest to most difficult to use? Which are more problematic regarding installation of runners? Questions such as those and things I haven't even thought of.

So via lutris, when i search lutris website for installer, runescape 3 shows up, i click it, but it shows 2 options

Is this legit? I tried both, neither worked, i'm kinda worried it's malware. What do you guys think?
