I removed ~/.local/share/lutris to try start with a blank profile but same error occurs. So must be something more fundamental. I installed it from the listed repo

deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/strycore/Debian_8.0/ ./

Any ideas?

Thanks.

This is a know bug caused by some Steam games that have their names set in a different manner than most other games in their config file.

You can start testing lutris 0.4.0, or wait for its release which will be happening in the next few days.
