just switched wm and noticed that not only are all games are missing(their folders still exists), but many of the different wine versions are missing as well. i need a specific lutris/wine runner for an old game and all i see are wine (11) and staging. any ideas as to what could have happened? side note, i cant really upgrade the flatpak to the latest lutris, it just wont work so im stuck with 5.20.
First you need to upgrade to latest Lutris version.
Why you can not update your Lutris version?
not sure. i tried using remote-add for the flatpak and that didnt work either. used flatpak update as well. nothing. i had this issue before on a different distro but i was able to update then.
ok update. apparently the “lutris” i was looking at was the native version. the flatpak version however is the updated version but i cant get it to run. here is the error

i cant make much sense of this either. dbus is installed, along with python3-dbus.
