Ever found a way around Lutris asking for a CD for games? I was using Lutris and one of the games I tried installing from a mounted ISO installed, yet I can't find any way to get Lutris to recognize the mounted drive as the CD. Tried adding it to Steam as a non-steam game as well and get the same result. Tried various versions of proton and wine, but I assume I need to direct it to the ISO somewhere... But couldn't find anyone who had an answer online.

    I haven't tried, sorry. I use Heroic rather than Lutris for my non-Steam digital libraries and I haven't messed around with older physical releases too much, so I don't know what Lutris is expecting. Maybe someone else here can help?

    Heroic is very straightforward, as long as what you want is access to your GoG, Epic, Amazon and Battle.Net libraries. Lutris is meant as a more general purpose launcher, so they're aiming at slightly different use cases that overlap.

    Heroic won't solve your Lutris ISO problem, but if you want to play some non-Steam ways it works great, is easy to use and is very Steam-like.
