Lutris Starts Painfully Slow

Hello, I have been getting this issue after installing it on my new computer (specs below). Upon running Lutris, there is a long delay before the application actually starts (i.e. I can see a window). Once the window is open, it seems to be “unstable,” but I will focus on this issue for now.
Here is the debug log for opening Lutris (lutris -d):

Yes, I know I shouldn’t be awake at 2AM
The issue appears to be, to me, that the initial GET call just takes a long time, but this doesn’t really make sense to me, as the next GET appears to be quick (or it is not finished before I cut the logs off without noticing). Other applications, e.g. Firefox and Discord, connect and interact with the internet at normal speeds, however, GNOME Web doesn’t. Running GET https://lutris.net/api/runtime leads to the terminal appearing to wait—I haven’t been able to get a response within a reasonable amount of time.
At this point, I am not sure if this is a Lutris problem or something “deeper” with my computer. Any ideas?


System Specs:

  • Hardware: Dell XPS 9570 (i7-8750H, GTX 1050Ti, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD)
  • Operating System: 4.19.2-arch1-1-ARCH
  • Desktop Environment: GNOME 3.30.2
  • Lutris: lutris-0.4.23

This is fixed in the development version which is to be released soon.

Oki doki, I’ll be waiting

My startup hang was fixed by deinstalling flatpak
