Antergos: won't run lutris

Hi, I’m new with lutris and I tried running on antergos 64bits. This is the output:

Traceback (most recent call last):

Any tips to solve it?

Thanks

This error looks familiar, are you running the latest version of Lutris? I’ve released it a couple hours ago and it might take a few hours more to land in AUR.

Using version lutris-0.4.5-1 uploaded on 8 of march 2017.

Yeah, the version from AUR is still at 0.4.5, it will be updated eventually.

Any thoughts?

Antergos AUR user here and everything is ok for me…

Works correctly with normal Arch

Arch users will really make everything to be about their distribution :laughing:

This has obviously nothing to do with running Arch or Antergos or anything other distro, just a simple bug happening when parsing Steam games. (seems that Wine isn’t installed and it’s trying to access wine or something).

I think I have enough info to make it not crash in next release. I don’t think I can write a proper fix with what I have here (unless I somehow managed to reproduce it) but maybe just preventing the crash will be enough.

In my case after running it in debug mode I saw these two commands prior to the crash:

[system]:WINEARCH=None WINEPREFIX=/home/<username>/.local/share/lutris/runners/winesteam/prefix
[system]:Executing /usr/bin/wineboot

So I went to verify the above location and saw the prefix never created, after creating the directory manually lutris executed just fine.

You are NOT god, but I love you like you were. Solved

Just had same problem with new Arch install and this was the solution.
