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.

Download this version of Lutris from here.

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

Think of it as a Windows compatibility layer. Wine does not require Microsoft Windows, as it is a completely alternative implementation consisting of 100% Microsoft-free code.
