Hello, it’s been a while when I don’t touch Lutris, and even if I try uninstall wine and lutris using apt and I don’t know how to fix this issue.
Thanks, WiBlum.

The game won’t launch and I need to manually Stop it (2024-03-07 00:43:35,633: The game has run for a very short time, did it crash?)
Also, at 4-7l it say Failed to read content length on response from … but all files are accessible and seems to be readable.

It tells you the problem in the log…

2024-03-07 00:43:14,684: Failed to get runtimes: HTTP Error 426: Upgrade Required

Go to the downloads section here and follow the links for Ubuntu to the git site, download the 0.5.16 deb file then in the download folder run:

sudo apt install ./lutris (press the tab key here to complete the file name)

Once it installs, run lutris -d to verify your version and get the latest runtime files, set your vulkan ICD loader (preferences → global Options → enable Advanced at the top) to nvidia proprietary and you are set ready to fix bnet
BNet had an update last year which is a pain to work around, easier to just reinstall bnet and use locate in game to find your existing downloaded games (eg WoW). To do this, make sure you rename the folder ~/Games/battlenet if it exists then press the + button on lutris title bar → search lutris.net → battle.net → standard install, remembering not to login during installation.
Most other games should be fine.
