Lutris 0.5.13 has been released

With this release, we're adding back the ability to run games with Proton. While this can be an useful thing for testing compatibility, it is still recommended to stick with the builds provided by Lutris. We are now using @GloriousEggroll's Proton based builds by default, which makes using Steam's proton an even narrower edge case.


For players with very large libraries, Lutris will be a lot more responsive thanks to the performance improvements by @danieljohnson2, along with loads of other UI improvements!

Starting from this release, it is now possible to reference ModDB links in Lutris installers. If your distribution doesn't provide the moddb Python package, you'll have to install it with: pip install moddb.
We also have an integration with Itch.io, thanks to @GoGoOtaku (note that we don't have a way to search for or install free games from Itch.io with this integration).

Changelog:

  • Add support for Proton
  • Add drag and drop on the main window. Dropped files will be matched
    No-Intro, Redump and TOSEC checksums.
  • Add support for ModDB links in installers (moddb python module required)
  • Added "Missing" sidebar option for games whose directory is missing
  • Re-style the configuration, preferences, installer and add-games windows
  • Group configuration options into sections
  • Added checkbox to stop asking for the launch config for a game
  • Added checkbox to sort installed games first
  • Support for launch-configs in shortcuts and the command line
  • Show platform badges on banners and cover-art
  • Installing games from setup files can now use different presets (Win98, 3DFX, ...)
  • Add filter field to runner list
  • Show game count in search bar
  • Workaround Humble Bundle authentication issues by allowing importing
    cookies from Firefox
  • Add Itch.io integration
  • Add Battle.net integration (protobuf dependency required)
  • Improve detection of DOSBox games on GOG
  • Added "Unspecified" Vulkan ICD option
  • Removed ResidualVM (now merged into ScummVM)
  • Detect obsolete Vulkan drivers and default to DXVK 1.x for them
  • Improved High-DPI support for custom media
  • Performance improvements

Manage Your Linux Game Library With Lutris

Lutris is an open-source Linux game manager, but it’s more than that. It aims to provide a single unified way to handle gaming on Linux.

It brings together all aspects of Linux gaming into one place. Steam, Wine, HumbleBundle, GOG, and even a whole range of emulators are all brought together for a relatively seamless experience.

Lutris also provides methods for installing games. It integrates with Steam, and it provides installer scripts for even the trickiest Wine games.


Running Lutris

Start Lutris for the first time

You can start Lutris from any other graphical application. The basic screen that you get when you don’t have any games installed is fairly plain. It just prompts you to create an account and add your games.

Create a Lutris account

It’s best for you to create a Lutris account now. Your account is the way that the client can keep your game library synchronized. It also opens up the option to browse and install games from the platform’s website. You can register easily on the Lutris website.

Once you’ve set up your account, take a look at the client again. The middle button on the main screen will allow you to link your new account to the client. Click on it and enter in your username and password.

Adding Games and Runners

Lutris has a couple of ways of adding games. It uses other programs called runners to actually run games. This is more of a management platform than anything else. It organizes things but doesn’t do any heavy lifting.

Lutris Runners

To see the list of available runners, click on the icon at the top of your Lutris window. A window will open up with a list of runners. Many are emulators, but you’ll see Steam and Wine there, too. With the exception of Steam, you can install the runners through this window. You can even manage and install multiple versions of Wine. Lutris will keep track of them. It actually has custom scripts for Wine games that specify the best version of Wine to use.

Lutris Wine Install

Steam has to be installed separately through your distribution’s package manager, but Lutris will pick it up immediately once you have. In order to actually get your Steam games, you need to sign into your Lutris account in your web browser. Go to your profile and click on the “Sign in through Steam” button. This will link your Steam account so the client can display your games and other Steam features.

Lutris Games

For many other games you can browse the selection on the Lutris website. There are tons on there, and more are constantly being added. Like with Steam, you can download games from the site, and the client will set them up for you.

If you have any other games that aren’t covered through Steam or the Lutris website, you can add them manually. The plus sign at the top of the client lets you create your own custom game launcher for games that are already installed on your computer.  The development team plans on adding support for GOG and HumbleBundle in the near future, but for now you can still add games that you purchase through either of these services manually.

Once you’ve added a library of games, you’ll see a nice tiled image layout of all of your games on the main screen of the Lutris client. You can now run all of your games through Lutris!

Steam and Lutris in EuroLinux Desktop

The holiday season is approaching, so today we offer a slightly lighter, but interesting topic. After a period of tumultuous development, Linux gaming has finally managed to win the trust of gamers and convince them to the platform from under the penguin sign. Thanks to digital video game distribution services, gamers can enjoy their favorite Windows titles also on EuroLinux Desktop.

However, before trying to install Steam, you should make sure that EuroLinux Desktop includes the required graphics drivers. If not, Nvidia users should download the company's official drivers, and AMD users should install the open Mesa drivers.

EuroLinux Desktop gry

Compatibility layers

  • Wine – allows Windows programs to run on Linux using native Linux libraries, APIs and drivers.
  • Proton – Wine fork by Valve, with some special tools for additional compatibility.
  • Vulkan – a cross-platform, open-source graphics API that is capable of using most DirectX calls present in Windows games. Although you can install DirectX in Wine, a "more native" alternative is to use just Vulkan.

EuroLinux Desktop gry

A breakthrough for gaming on Linux systems was the introduction of DXVK (DirectX to Vulkan), a tool for converting Microsoft DirectX 11 and DirectX 10 graphics calls to Vulkan, an open source graphics API that is compatible with Linux. DXVK is mainly used in Steam Play and is part of the Proton group. The solution works differently than the traditional emulator approach to gaming, where you have to use a Windows virtual machine and play as if "inside it." DXVK allows translation and full use of the computer's hardware resources. With this solution we get comparable performance to the native version of the game.

ProtonDB

ProtonDB is a service that compiles player experiences into a convenient-to-view database where you can see how well a title performs on GNU/Linux. The service has an actively growing community of testers who help improve Proton. Users can easily check the game's compatibility rating, leave reviews, and rate performance and compatibility. Game testers also leave bug fixes and tips on what to do to fix a game and help it run on Linux. Using the site, you can search for games from your library on the homepage or link your Steam account to check the status of each game in one go.

Steam

Steam is Valve's digital video game distribution service and store. The Steam software client was launched in September 2003 as a way to provide automatic updates for games developed by Valve. It was then expanded in late 2005 to include the ability to distribute titles from other game publishers. Steam offers various features such as digital rights management (DRM), game server matchmaking and anti-cheat programs, as well as social services and streaming games.

EuroLinux Desktop gry

Civilization V game running via Steam on EuroLinux Desktop

To install Steam on EuroLinux 9 Desktop, run the following commands:

sudo dnf install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-9.noarch.rpm && \
sudo dnf install snapd && \
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket  && \
snap install --beta steam

Activate Proton in Steam

Proton is integrated into the Steam client via "Steam Play." To activate Proton, launch the Steam client and click the Steam menu in the upper left corner. Then click the Settings menu to open a new window, and the Steam Play button. At the bottom of the panel, select Enable Steam Play for Supported Titles and leave the Proton Experimental selection in the drop-down list. The application will ask you to restart the Steam client. If you want to try other games that are not guaranteed to work on Linux, check the Enable Steam Play for All Other Titles checkbox.

GOG

GOG is a digital distribution platform service for video games and movies. It makes many DRM-free digital games available for many platforms, including Linux. A Linux version of the client is planned, but an expected release date is not available. Nevertheless, in the Software application in the FlatHub repository, you can find several minimalist clients for this (Polish) provider. In addition, GOG provides standalone game installers, so you can use it with any web browser. GOG is also integrated with the Lutris platform.

Lutris

Lutris is a free and open source game manager for GNU/Linux. It provides a consistent interface and community installation scripts that automatically configure the Wine environment for specific game titles. Lutris also offers integration for software purchased from GOG, Humble Bundle, Steam and Epic Games Store. These can be run after logging into the respective services, directly through the Lutris app. In addition, Lutris supports more than 20 emulators, including ScummVM, DOSBox. Dolphin, MAME, Snes9x, PCSX2 and PPSSPP. On EuroLinux Desktop, the Lutris client can be installed directly from the Software application by searching the FlatHub repository.

Lutris 0.5.10.1 has been released

Lutris helps you install and play video games from all eras and from most gaming systems. By leveraging and combining existing emulators, engine re-implementations and compatibility layers, it gives you a central interface to launch all your games.

The client can connect with existing services like Humble Bundle, GOG and Steam to make your game libraries easily available. Game downloads and installations are automated and can be modified through user made scripts.

This is a small update for the client released a few weeks ago. The goal is mainly to provide some fixes to improve Flatpak compatibility and provide a good experience on the Steam Deck.

A few fixes unrelated to Flatpak have been added as well and the MangoHUD option is now a simple switch (this requires the latest version of MangoHUD to have support for both 32bit and OpenGL games.)

CHANGELOG

  • Check for Steam executable in home folder for Flatpak
  • Adjust the Steam, application and desktop shortcuts to launch with
    Flatpak when necessary
  • Disable local (XDG) service in Flatpak
  • Simplify MangoHUD option (now an On/Off toggle)
  • Remove ability for Lutris to quit Steam
  • Don't default to fsync on older kernels
  • Default to a base resolution when Lutris is unable to read the current
    configuration
  • Fix issue with .NET 4.8 installation which affects the FF XIV launcher

Lutris 0.5.10 has been released with Steam Deck support

Lutris helps you install and play video games from all eras and from most gaming systems. By leveraging and combining existing emulators, engine re-implementations and compatibility layers, it gives you a central interface to launch all your games.

The client can connect with existing services like Humble Bundle, GOG and Steam to make your game libraries easily available. Game downloads and installations are automated and can be modified through user made scripts.

Download this version of Lutris from here.

Steam Deck support

We're pleased to announce the release of Lutris 0.5.10! This is the first release since the Steam Deck has started shipping and yes, Lutris runs quite nicely on the device. Many thanks to Valve for providing a dev kit!

Please note that the Flatpak version still needs some work and will be the next point of focus now that 0.5.10 is out. Currently, Lutris has been tested with the installation from the Arch and AUR repositories. This requires disabling the read only flag of your Deck's system drive and should only be done if you're comfortable with Linux to some extent. Consider re-enabling the read-only flag after installing Lutris.

Also note that major SteamOS upgrades might reset the system partition and require you to reinstall Lutris. This hasn't happened yet, and minor Steam Deck updates won't affect your Lutris installation. We hope having the Flatpak version ready before any major upgrade happens.

It's recommended to use the "Create Steam shortcut" when installing games, this will make the game available in the Deck UI and allow you to benefit from Steam Input. If you want to play games in desktop mode and use the Deck controls as a joypad, make sure you configure Steam accordingly, as it is set by default to emulate a keyboard and mouse.

Adding games

Make sure to click the "+" button to see its new functionality. It used to be for adding a game manually but now offers a lot of other options as shown below

Screenshot from 2022-04-01 14-11-20

"Search the Lutris website" replaces the "Community installers" tab in the Lutris service. The Lutris service now acts like the others and simply show your library from lutris.net.

"Scan a folder for games" is useful if you have a folder of games you previously installed with lutris but are no longer indexed in the client. This feature matches folder names with lutris game identifiers and uses the install script to find the correct executable

"Install a Windows game from media" is useful when you want to install a game from a setup.exe in an optical media or a download.

"Install from a local install script" is a GUI version of the previously available -i / --install command line flag and allows you to install local YAML installers

"Add locally installed game" open the dialog to add a game manually, this was the default behavior of the "+" button.

Integrations

Lutris receives 2 new integration with support for Origin and Ubisoft Connect. As with the Epic Games Store integration, you will need to install the Origin and Ubisoft Connect clients to use this integration. This is especially important for Ubisoft Connect, since their API doesn't return all your games and most will be available once you have logged in the Windows client.
Ubisoft Connect also has a tendency to be slow and getting stuck on an "Initializing" dialog. If this happens, close the dialog and retry installing or launching the game you which to play.

The Origin client can sometimes fail to update itself. When this happens click the "cancel" button but when Origin asks you for confirmation to cancel the update, say no and Origin will restart the update process, completing it successfully.

Humble Bundle has made changes to their API and it is currently not possible to log in or install games until we provide a patch.

Changelog

  • Add new window to add games to Lutris, with searches from the website,
    scanning a folder for previously installed games, installing a Windows
    game from a setup file, installing from a YAML script or configuring a
    single game manually.
  • Move the search for Lutris installers from a tab in the Lutris service
    to the window for adding games.
  • Add option to add a Lutris game to Steam
