Lutris is Slow to Launch Unless it is Run by Root

Support
1

Hello all. I am using archlinux and every time I run Lutris as a user, it takes around 30 seconds to launch. I am using an nvme ssd and everything else on my pc launches very quickly so this is out of the ordinary. When I run lutris as root, it starts instantly. Has anyone else had this problem? My debug output doesn’t show anything interesting.

If anyone has had this or a similar problem and has found a fix, advice would be greatly appreciated.

When running Lutris in debug mode, do you get more output then?

lutris -d

BTW: Running as root is not advised, but reading your issue I gather you already know that. :slight_smile:

Yes, I already knew that lol. I’m fully aware that most apps should not be run as sudo but I figured I’d just try doing that to see if it made a difference. That, there, what I put in my original post was the output I got from debug mode. Nothing but that showed up. Is there some log file I’m supposed to look for or is that correct?
