Lutris syntax error in steam.py since apt -fullupgrade

Support

I am on elementary OS (18.04) running lutris quite nicely until today’s update of lutris further to apt-fullupgrade

short abstract where the error happens:

…

can someone guide me to have it working properly like before.
thank you so much.

I also have this problem. Time to panic.

I had the same problem (see my thread). I had to roll back to lutris version 0.5.8.3 to avoid the invalid syntax error. I hope this helps.

Seems like we’re threading the same waters… I figured it’d be important to include most relevant info, along with getting folks to engage to brings dev eyes to this issue, posthaste. As it seems to entirely prevent launching Lutris, if one does not downgrade back to previous version.
With the pretense of more info, the better, here’s my setup:

Further to Zhymm post a fix should be applied in order to have lutris working.
