I hate when you spend weeks getting games to work and then an update happens and everything is now broken. My copies of Simcity REFUSE to launch in any way and now i can't reinstall them either. All my other games i had to change the runner and redirect the .exe on each game. I may just install 0.5.19 and see if i can get them to start working again.

Apparently plenty of people had their game libraries ruined by this update as well and i lost all my hours of Simcity, so that sucks. Anyone else having issues with the update version of lutris?

Missed the point entirely, but okay. Note that I did troubleshoot it. I needed to know that it was a lutris problem to begin with.

Having trouble making something work is not at the same level as an auto-update messing up all of your library at once. All I'm saying is, if we want more adoption of free OSes for uses like gaming, the tools we have for it needs to be version-controlled so less technical people are not completely lost.

    Well, you're now blaming the OS. You chose Nobara, and that's a "you" problem.

    If this was running in Windows, you'd have the guarantees that everything works all the time? Same with MacOS, BSD, Android...it's software. You don't seem to get that.

    If you're unable to debug and tell what's going on , and expect that to NOT be the norm...buddy, you're in the wrong place.

    Go back to Windows or whatever you previously using and be happy...oh wait...you don't do that because of your higher standards.
