Im kinda baffled. I use lutris for launching windows games in linux and for the longest time now its worked great. Well i was playing a game and it was working fine. i closed it went and did some other stuff for an hour or so and came back. When i went to launch it suddenly its throwing errors about needing umu to launch proton even tho proton worked just fine not an hour ago. I think ok ive had issues with flatpacks before. Let me uninstall the flatpack and get the system package. I do so and now proton doesnt even appear as an option in the configure menu. I googled around and i cant find any similar issue. The thing that really baffles me is it just seems to have stopped working for no reason. I didnt update anything, didnt change anything. The Lutris on my desktop still works perfectly fine too. Its just the one on my laptop doesnt want to use proton now? Anyone experienced this and know whats up? The umu thing it mentioned at first would need to be compiled from the github and i know thats not something Lutris normally needs since i have had it working without doing that and currently do on my desktop. I guess i could manually install it anyway but i worry itll just make things worse.
Edit: Its suddenly working again i have no idea why
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.
