Hi!
I updated my system from Fedora 32 to Fedora 33 some week ago, and now I wanted to play a bit with FF7.
I didn’t change its configuration in lutris, in which I use Libretro runner > Sony - Playstation (PCSX ReARMed) that used to work.
Now I get a blank screen whenever I launch the game.
I tried to give lutris -d from a terminal and load the game then. This is what I get
$ lutris -d
Unable to load locale dir, translations won't work.

Everything seems fine, no errors (apart from the complaints about 3 missing bios files, which are actually in, hopefully, the right folder ~.config/retroarch/system~).
And yet, I get a blank screen/window and the game is stuck there. Maybe not even loading? I can tell I see nothing but a full black screen (and well, just a libretro notification on the bottom left, telling me it is loading/applying cheats. That sentence stays there as well and never vanish).
Can I get some help, please? I don’t even know how to tackle this, since I get no (significant) errors not even on the terminal.
I get the same issue when loading other games that use other Libretro cores. I assume the issue is with Libretro…? In fact, other runners work fine as always.
Thank you!
EDIT:
I’ve just tried to login using xorg, and everything works fine. So this is an issue between lutris and the wayland session. I’m gonna file this in the github repo page.
EDIT2:
Well… I can’t since opening issues in the github repo is restricted to devs…
So, retroarch doesn’t work on wayland.
