Hello everyone.
I made the mistake of tinkering with what was already working. Now I don’t know how to start from scratch.
Linux Mint 22.3
Lutris 05.19 (Flatpak Flathub)
I tried to update Lutris just like how I configured my friend’s installation via Terminal by installing and reinstalling however I may have been able to mess up my installation hence my settings and prefixes don’t work anymore like how it used to the other day. The games I am installing are Non-Steam game copies that I’ve had for years and decades. The games I configured via Lutris worked well in a step by step process that usually works before I messed it up:
- Add Locally Installed Game
- Choose Wine as the Runner
- Wine version of choice
- Game launches
For example I tried to run COD Advanced Warfare with the below parameters:
Proton Experimental, everything defaults and got the said logs:
sequence item 0: expected str instance, int found
Traceback (most recent call last):

", ".join(running_processes),
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
TypeError: sequence item 0: expected str instance, int found
Lutris log:

For my CS 1.6 and CS Source both Non-Steam installations it’s stuck in “Launching”. Same with Unreal Tournament 99
Is there any way I can have these games working again? How should I clean up Lutris after uninstallation to ensure I have a “fresh” installation of Lutris?
Or worse, do I have to reinstall Linux Mint?
Thanks!
