Lutris can't play epic game launcher / Vulkan

TL;DR
Below is a journey of issues aiming to install the epic games launcher, the seemingly final issue is I cant install Vulkan because my card is not officially supported. Skip to entry 4 if you have tips. Thanks :smiley:

Using Mint 19.3
Hello all and thank you so much for your time… I know there’s a fer new people trying to figure out how to install and/or what went wrong with the installation… I hope this helps others out as I am unable to find any answers as i scrub online and continue to learn more about lunix.

Here’s what I have done so far (from a fresh start of Mint)

Terminal:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:lutris-team/lutris

Terminal:
sudo apt update

Terminal:
sudo apt install lutris

I also installed wine through the software manager.

Below is running ‘lutris-d’ in terminal, which is so slow… then when I close the loading window, terminal starts up with more info, as seen below.

—Start Terminal

–End Terminal.

I’m sure the answer is right in fornt of me, but I know the answer will help others stumbling here too.

Again, many thanks to the dedicated helpers- you all make the world go round.

Update:

I went though various tips that applied to my system here:

Then found this old forum and did some suggestions they recommended

Now, I dont need to close the “Lutris is loading” little window to actually run the program.

Here’s my terminal now:

It appears to be working, but cant figure out how to install the Epic Games launcher as a source. I can start steam and log in, but cant figure out how to install other launchers… Still looking… but making progress.

Update:
After doing what was mentioned above, the loading of lutris was now working, and finally found out how to install epic games launcher via the lutris website… I had to “add it to my library” but when I clicked, nothing happened… so I saw the install wine button… I already had wine installed but I clicked it anyway… that unleashed the installation of the epic game store to be added to the list in the lutris app.

My rejoicement was short lived, as I had yet another issue scream at me. Vulkan.

a window appeared when attempting to launch epic games…
“Vulkan not found or is not compatable with this system”
“File not found”

At this point, I’m getting quite upset at how theres so much extra work to install something, and the only way to fix it is by throwing terminal commands that someone posted years ago and hope it applies to this setup… I degress…

I found a website that showed me what video cards were compatable… oddly, mine is clearly not compatable at the moment.

I have the Radeon HD 5000 Series, so I have nothing to download, and am dead in the water.

What do you think?
