I hate when you spend weeks getting games to work and then an update happens and everything is now broken. My copies of Simcity REFUSE to launch in any way and now i can't reinstall them either. All my other games i had to change the runner and redirect the .exe on each game. I may just install 0.5.19 and see if i can get them to start working again.

Apparently plenty of people had their game libraries ruined by this update as well and i lost all my hours of Simcity, so that sucks. Anyone else having issues with the update version of lutris?

Not with Lutris, but my Heroic Games Launcher broke Epic Games recently.

I had updated my system, which updated python, and this new version of python was not compatible with Legendary (the epic games cli or something which heroic uses to log user into the epic games account), and the games refused to launch. Pirated games and GOG still worked fine, though.

I came across this issue many times today while researching my issue. Seems both apps had a major update in the last week and screwed up a lot of our games. But i do appreciate them working on this open source software, just sucks when it breaks like this.
