lutris pushed runtime updates without regression testing to make sure it worked with lutris 5.17, and then had to push out more updates to fix it. my favorite though was winetricks not being executable

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Lol that explains it then. Thanks for the info.
Yeah, it's strange how that requirement appeared out of nowhere. I was able to find a repo with umu on OpenSUSE to solve it. But that's obviously not possible with flatpak.
Well thats better then compiling it atleast lol. Im on mint so id have to add the source. I am hoping someone is gonna reply soon and be like "oh that happened to me just type this command and itll be fixed" tho lol. But ill definitely be giving that a try if no other options appear. Thanks.
Similar issues here, but this time with steam i.e steam launches, the window appears, doesn't fully load and crashes or closes with no error messages (running it from terminal) and then it keeps on restarting and trying to launch again, always unsuccessfully. It's been happening for the last few days.
Now, Lutris suddenly requires umu and an update to the steam runtime to launch a game with Proton, so I can't play my games. Very annoying and weird.
mine just kinda fixed itself for no noticeable reason. Maybe try a reinstall, and reboot?
There doesn't seem to be a bug report for this. Maybe you can make one and get a workaround on the way.
Issue is i have no idea how to reproduce it because i didnt do anything to cause it lol. So i have very limited info to give them at this point. Edit: Also i literally just went and tried it again the next day and it has miraculously fixed itself....
Didnt reboot or anything either. Laptop was suspended. Just opened lutris and suddenly proton works again lol
I guess Lutris downloads some updates by itself without updating the main app. So probably whoever caused the issue in the first place probably fixed it using the same mechanism.
ya that may be it
It would be very nice if you updated the title and the post description that that issue is fixed.
updated
