I’m trying to install Epic Games on Lutris on my Ubuntu 22.04 LTS distro. I’ve installed the deb package using dpkg command and whenever i tried to install Epic using any tutorial from 2023 and up, i’m gettint this error:

I did some research and a few people told others to delete .wine folder but i don´t have it here (yes i’ve checked the field to display hidden files)

What can i do to fix this?

  1. installing using dpkg does not install all the required dependencies - on lutris.net → downloads follow the link for Ubuntu to get the deb file (or if you all ready have the 0.5.16 deb do the next bit). In the folder where the deb file is located run:
    sudo apt install ./lutris (press the tab key to complete the file name - if it does not complete you are in the wrong folder

  2. on the left hand pane of lutris find the runners section, click wine and then the folder icon. In the window that opens install version wine-ge-8-26 from the list.

  3. in preferences → global options → enable Advanced at the top → vulkan ICD loader → if this says unspecified you will have issues - change it to not say unspecified and match your gpu
