Downloading GOG offline installers is often slow...
In the next release, we will be using gogdl (or its upcoming Rust replacement) to download GOG games.
We will also switch our Amazon integration to Nile (https://github.com/imLinguin/nile) which should solve some of our issues.

When you try to run Battlefield V on EA App, which now has the EA Anticheat, you get a pretty clear answer to why it won't launch.

@npub1g7x…c8jt @npub1tvq…l6jk go ahead, no experience with Django needed, it's just HTML. Take a look at the last commits on lutris/website

@npub1tvq…l6jk Lutris does not generate enough income to classify any of it as professional. If I have to give up on making any kind of living with Lutris, I might as well stay really opinionated.
If you have other, more elegant ways to convey the same message, I'm open to suggestions. The website's code is on Github.

@npub1tvq…l6jk a tantrum about what? I'm perfectly happy without those games. People visiting the Lutris website need to get a clear message about why those popular games will not work and why to avoid them in general.

@npub1xea…6nah this website is well known and linking to websites is not an endorsement.
No it won't put us in a lot of trouble.

@npub1ets…ey4e this is not to encourage people to cheat, this is to say that kernel anticheats are ineffective against what they try to achieve.

I also want to provide people with easy ways to access cheats for Fortnite, Valorant, Destiny 2... Is unknowncheats.me the best resource for that?

Installers that do weird things and use too many system commands will now receive this nice big fat warning:

AAAAAHH, it went back in stock, I managed to get one!!!!!!

Well this sucks. After struggling with a bunch of 502 errors, the limited edition Steam Deck is out of stock...

@npub1g7x…c8jt it's sort of build from the same principles as the old Steam runtime (scout) but now the Steam runtime is container based. We also build it ourselves from our own selection of libraries so it's still a different product.

@npub1g7x…c8jt maybe, but we're also well aware that the runtime is heavily outdated (it's based on Ubuntu 18) and we may not focus on that issue specifically.

@npub1g7x…c8jt no crash is expected behavior. But the runtime does need to be updated or completely redesigned.

@npub1g7x…c8jt yes, that's applicable to any software you have installed with Flatpak

@npub1g7x…c8jt any configuration option can be added to a script. If you look at the yaml config file for a game in ~/.config/lutris/games, most of it can be copied to a script.
Gamescope isn't documented for scripts because it's not assured to be available for everyone so please make sure to state it in the script notes and only use it if absolutely needed.
You can submit scripts by going to a game's page while logged in and either editing an existing script or creating a new one.
