v0.5.17 Latest Fix critical bug preventing completion of installs if the script specifies a wine version Fix critical bug preventing Steam library sync Fix critical bug preventing game or runner uninstall in Flatpak Support for library sync to lutris.net, this allows to sync games, play time and categories to multiple devices.

Torturous and sadistic options for multi-GPUs that were half broken and understood by no one have been replaced by a simple GPU selector. EXPERIMENTAL support for umu, which allows running games with Proton and Vessel. Using Proton in Lutris without umu is no longer possible. Better and sensible sorting for games (sorting by playtime or last played no longer needs to be reversed) Support the “Categories” command when you select multiple games Notification bar when your Lutris is no longer supported Improved error dialog. Add Vita3k runner (thanks @ItsAllAboutTheCode) Add Supermodel runner WUA files are now supported in Cemu “Show Hidden Games” now displays the hidden games in a separate view, and re-hides them as soon as you leave it. Support transparent PNG files for custom banner and cover-art Images are now downloaded for manually added games. Deprecate ’exe’, ‘main_file’ or ‘iso’ placed at the root of the script, all lutris.net installers have been updated accordingly. Deprecate libstrangle and xgamma support. Deprecate DXVK state cache feature (it was never used and is no longer relevant to DXVK 2)

Lutris 0.5.13 released

Wed, 17 May 2023 00:00:00 +0000

Another version (0.5.13) of Lutris has been released:

v0.5.13 Latest 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

Lutris 0.5.12 released

Fri, 02 Dec 2022 00:00:00 +0000

Sun, 03 Apr 2022 00:00:00 +0000

Another version (0.5.10) of Lutris has been released:

lutris (0.5.10) impish; urgency=medium * 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 * Add a coverart format * Add integration with EA Origin * Add integration with Ubisoft Connect * Download missing media on startup * Remove Winesteam runner (install Steam for Windows in Lutris instead) * PC (Linux and Windows) games have their own dedicated Nvidia shader cache * Add dgvoodoo2 option * Add option to enable BattleEye anti-cheat support * Default to Retroarch cores in ~/.config/retroarch/cores if available * Add support for downloading patches and DLC for GOG games * Add –export and –import command line flags to export a game a lutris game and re-import it (requires –dest for the destination path, feature still experimental) * Add command line flags to manage runners: –install-runner, –uninstall-runners, –list-runners, –list-wine-versions * Change behavior of the “Stop” button, remove “Kill all Wine processes” action * Gamescope option is now disabled on Nvidia GPUs * Enable F-Sync by default – Mathieu Comandon Fri, 04 Feb 2022 19:14:41 -0800

Lutris 0.5.8 released

Sun, 15 Nov 2020 00:00:00 +0000

Another version (0.5.8) of Lutris has been released:

lutris (0.5.8) groovy; urgency=medium * 3rd party services are now available from the main window * The “Import games” window has been removed. The concept of importing games from other services into Lutris has been removed. Syncing games from other services on start has been removed. * Integration with the lutris website such as login and showing your library has been delegated to the ’lutris’ service in the sidebar. * The lutris service gives the option of searching your library or the whole lutris.net library. * Games from 3rd party services no longer depend on an install script to be present on the website. Lutris will automatically install games with an auto-generated script. Scripts from the website take precedence if available. * Steam games are directly loaded from the Steam API and it is no longer needed to sync your Steam library on the lutris website to see all your Steam games. * Game banners and icons are downloaded from the services themselves. This allows for customized media size in the UI based on what’s available from the service. * Added option to hide the text under the icons * The installer game cache configuration has been moved to the installer window. * Installers now offer the choice between downloaded files, custom user provided files or cached files (when available). * Bonus content for GOG games such as manuals or soundtracks can now be downloaded as part of the install process. Selected content are downloaded in a ’extras’ folder in the game folder. Those files will likely be in compressed format. * The right side bar has been moved to the bottom of the window to optimize space and to declutter the overall design. Game actions are now shown in a popover menu displayed next to the play button. Runner actions, if available (for example, wine), will show up in a popover menu next to the runner icon. * Running games have been moved from the right side bar to a row on the left side bar. * Added favorites section and allow to add/remove games from favorites * When removing a game, Lutris now displays the size of the folder to be deleted. * Game logs are no longer erased when switching to another game in the window. * Game logs can be saved to a file * Lutris runners can now be written in JSON instead of Python code. This handles only simple cases but it’s enough to handle a vast number of emulators or game engines. Some existing runners have been migrated to JSON such as dgen, ppsspp, citra, ags, virtualjaguar… as well as new ones like melonds, tic80, pcem… Check out the share/lutris/json folder for those runners. If you plan to submit new JSON based runner be sure to provide a valid ‘download_url’ otherwise the lutris client won’t have a runner to download. * Lutris will not delete any game folder that is used by another game or any folder that is in some predefined locations. Note that protection of folders such as ‘Documents’ or ‘Downloads’ only works on English locales for the moment. * Added a Mangohud option with special modes for OpenGL and 32bit games. * Added a wine menu entry to launch a bash shell in the game’s environment with WINEPREFIX set and the correct Wine build aliased to wine. * Added a command line option to generate a bash script that will run a lutris game without the client. ex: lutris quake --output-script quake.sh. This will create a ‘quake.sh’ script to launch the game. * Removed all platform and runner icons from the code base to eliminate any issue regarding their licenses (This is done to help get the lutris package into debian). * DOSBox and PCSX2 display an error if needed libraries are missing. * The old versions of gamemode are no longer supported. Make sure you have the one that ships with a gamemoderun executable. * The runtime now supports downloading individual files. New icons can be submitted by sending a PR to github.com/lutris/lutris-runtime. * Refactor of several core components. New python packages lutris.database and lutris.gui.installer – Mathieu Comandon Sat, 14 Nov 2020 15:03:28 -0700
