Lutris doesn't proton variations such as Proton-EM? (lemmy.world)

Hi guys! I am changing distro and am kinda settling on KDE-Neon (ubuntu based), as this was pretty reliable for me back in the day. So far it's been all great, but I'm wondering why Lutris (which came pre-configured and untouchable in a way in Nobara) won't detect additional proton installs. I'm using ProtonPlus with Lutris chosen, and I have installed for example Proton-EM. I can see ProtonPlus did download and add a folder on my user:

/home/my-user/.local/share/lutris/runners/proton/

However this doesn't seem to get Lutris to show it. I only get wine-ge-8.26, Proton-GE Latest and the system Wine. Why is Lutris not catching the Proton-EM? What should I do?

Thanks!

do you have the flatpak version of Lutris installed by chance? If yes, the correct path would be:

~/.var/app/net.lutris.Lutris/data/lutris/runners/proton/

Good one! But I think it's the Ubuntu repo package.

In ProtonPlus, with Lutris selected on the top left, I went and clicked to install “Proton-GE-Latest, GE-Proton10-26, EM-10.0.32, EM-10.0.31, Proton-10.0.3, DXVK v2.7.1, VK3D-Proton v3.0b, VK3D-Lutris v2.14”. All of these. However, in Lutris - any game’s configuration - Runner tab, I get only: System (9.0 Ubuntu), wine-ge-8.26, and Proton-GE-Latest. There’s quite a lot of them missing. And I don’t know what triggers the ones it finds and why the others are missing.

EDIT: Sigh...Since this is KDE Neon, running on Ubuntu 24.04...the Ubuntu repo version of Lutris is v0.5.14...From 2023. I guess that might have something to do. I'll install the flatpak first.
