Zenity (a GTK program that is used here to make gtk dialogs from console output) is getting linked to the wrong libraries in the lutris runtime. Somewhere there’s a bad library that’s the wrong API for your system’s libgstgl-1.0.so.0 (from gst-plugins-base). It is likely an inherited dependency.

Is this the lutris provided winetricks or system winetricks? (I suspect the latter?)

Also, lutris-fshack-7.2-x86_64 is a very old wine runner, and could itself have library issues. A lot of libraries are “dlopened” (run time linking) by wine so you wouldn’t notice until they are called for. I mean, wine itself won’t necessarily fail. (that’s not your zenity issue though)

Verify that you have the correct version of gstreamer installed in your distro (update your distro’s packages, don’t cherry pick)

How would I tell? “Prefer system libraries” is checked, if that’s what you want.

That runner was being used for a specific game.

Verify that you have the correct version of gstreamer installed in your distro

How can I do that?

On the Runner Options tab, there’s a checkbox to “Use System Winetricks” (that may even be what you want to do if your distro provides it).

I simply meant to make sure your packages are up to date. Have the correct version of gstreamer packages (as opposed to, say for example, updating ffmpeg and not gstreamer, i.e. don’t cherry pick updates)

P.S. Ahh shit, you wouldn’t see that “use system winetricks” on the Runner Options tab unless you have enabled Advanced view.

Currently “use system winetricks” is not checked. I tried another game, this time one that uses the default wine runner, and Winetricks started. I’m not sure precisely what’s going on.

As far as I aware everything is up to date.
