I can install epic in lutris and i can “install” ESO but really it’s just like a template for the installer as the actual installer takes hours to download the game but lets not get ahead of ourselves. After the epic install is finished, that takes only a few minutes it’s supposed to start the launcher (which is really just launching the actual beginning of the install) but it doesn’t launch.
I have lutris and epic and eso installed on another distro install. I use artix linux which is of course arch without that nasty systemd and i use mate desktop and nvidia 550.78-4 which works great for my gtx 1650. I get about 100 fps with optimized settings.
here’s my inxi output

so basically i have artix installed on the one nvme slot inside the machine with a 2 tb drive and lutris runs epic and eso great there.
I also installed artix on an nvme drive that is installed in a usb adapter and connected to a usb 3.2 gen 2 port. that’s the one where i am having the troubles. I have steam installed on this setup and i have no issues running steam or eso on steam but i do have this one epic account i’d like to play from this device also. In both instances i have a seperate root and home partition as well as a separate steam partition in /home/[username]Steamy or the like. And so i had tried a couple of things when this wouldnt run. I tried to symlink to my steam directory hoping that i wouldn’t have to redownload all theose hours long of actual install files. That didn’t help and so i deleted those links. And when that failed to help i tried to copy the spic directories for my installed games from the other nvme to this nvme and that also didnt help and so i deleted all the game directories and started over. Finally i decide to reach out to the forums as it seems the older i get the dumber i get.
so what do i do with this lutris-issue-report.json file?
