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?

Yeah, I had to change the runner (is that the term? my UI is in French) for half my games after the update. I suspect it just changed it on my existing game configurations for no reason.

I had stuff like proton complaining it can't run 32-bit prefixes, an obscure error saying it couldn't find gamemode... All fixed when I manually changed the runners.

Quite annoying when somzthing that just used ro work suddenly breaks everything.
