Hi,
Please could you include some debug version information (see forum sticky) and please outline the process - is this the first time attempting to install a game using Lutris, or is this something you have just manually added yourself?

It could be that your Lutris is old (Ubuntu still has 0.9.1 in their repo) or your Linux is out of date (needs up to date Python 3 - version 3.10 onwards usually okay)

As a guide -
I have noticed some installers work with defaults (especially GOG Auto,) but in the config panel have an empty prefix when you open it, and using “duplicate” on those games (to point at a separate .exe) does give a similar error, but a prefix can be manually entered to fix it.
I’ve also broken Lutris on a couple of occasions installing Python packages for other things.

Let us know how it goes :slight_smile:
