Lutris doesn't proton variations such as Proton-EM? (lemmy.world)

Hi guys! I am changing distro and am kinda settling on KDE-Neon (ubuntu based), as this was pretty reliable for me back in the day. So far it's been all great, but I'm wondering why Lutris (which came pre-configured and untouchable in a way in Nobara) won't detect additional proton installs. I'm using ProtonPlus with Lutris chosen, and I have installed for example Proton-EM. I can see ProtonPlus did download and add a folder on my user:

/home/my-user/.local/share/lutris/runners/proton/

However this doesn't seem to get Lutris to show it. I only get wine-ge-8.26, Proton-GE Latest and the system Wine. Why is Lutris not catching the Proton-EM? What should I do?

Thanks!

do you have the flatpak version of Lutris installed by chance? If yes, the correct path would be:

~/.var/app/net.lutris.Lutris/data/lutris/runners/proton/

I use https://davidotek.github.io/protonup-qt/ to manage my wine versions in lutris.

Thanks. Which folder does it install them to? Is it the wine one or proton?

You can select the folder. It recognizes the installed versions. You can even install it in steam.

Thanks. I meant I don't want to choose the incorrect folder, as this seems to be an important distinction they're trying to make. I believe I have read the folder structure varies depending on where the wine/proton is installed.

So...which folder does your protonup-qt install to? I understand it should show it on the UI? Mine for Lutris auto-chooses the wine folder. But Lutris doesn't see it.

Just try it out. You can't do it wrong.

As I said, i already tried. It went to the wine folder. And Lutris didn't see it. So, please for the third time... which folder does it install it to in your case?
