Hello, I have issue with launching lutris 0.5.10 from offical repo as non-root user. If I launch lutris with sudo lutris everything work as expected, but if I run just with lutris this error message pops up:

Traceback (most recent call last):

Am I missing some python package or does somebody know where is the issue? I tried reinstalling lutris multiple times, but still no luck

EDIT:
Bad info not from AUR, but from offical repo

why are you using Lutris from AUR?? Lutris 0.5.10 is on the official repositories! try using that version:
sudo pacman -S lutris

My bad, I checked and it’s from the official repository. The issue is still present

I don’t know why it’s not working and you shouldn’t be running lutris with sudo. I never had to do anything else than installing lutris using pacman:
sudo pacman -S lutris
it should resolve all dependencies but are you sure you have them? please check Arch Linux - lutris 0.5.10.1-2 (any)

I checked with sudo pacman -Qi lutris and it seems all dependencies are present

I JUST FIXED IT!

I just needed to update pip packages with pip list --outdated --format=freeze | grep -v '^\-e' | cut -d = -f 1 | xargs -n1 pip install -U and it worked!
