Lutris 0.5.21 Adds Support For Running Games Inside Valve's Latest Steam Runtime

([Linux Gaming] 4 Hours Ago Lutris 0.5.21 Game Manager)


Lutris 0.5.21 is now available as the latest version of this open-source Linux game manager. With Lutris 0.5.21 comes some new runners for executing games in different environments.

Lutris 0.5.21 most notably adds Valve's Sniper runtime support. Sniper is the codename for the Steam Linux Runtime 3.0 release as the current latest version of their Linux runtime following the Steam Linux Runtime 1.0 Scout and Steam Linux Runtime 2.0 Soldier releases. This runner support in the new Lutris release now allows easily running games within this Steam Linux Runtime 3.0 containerized environment.

Today's Lutris release also adds a runner for ShadPS4 as an early PlayStation 4 emulator and Xenia as an Xbox 360 research emulator. Lutris 0.5.21 also improves its Dolphin-Emu emulator to use AppImage for that GameCube / Wii emulator. There is also now support in Lutris to move Proton versions from runners/proton to runners/wine.

The new game manager's release also brings UI/UX improvements, support for more storage types, fixing GPU reporting from the Vulkan information, the Wine-Wayland warning will now only warn under Wayland and not X11, Portuguese language support, and a variety of other fixes and enhancements.

Pedro Guerrero was playing third base for the Los Angeles Dodgers in 1984
when he made the comment that earns him a place in my Hall of Fame. Second
baseman Steve Sax was having trouble making his throws. Other players were
diving, screaming, signaling for a fair catch. At the same time, Guerrero,
at third, was making a few plays that weren't exactly soothing to manager
Tom Lasorda's stomach. Lasorda decided it was time for one of his famous
motivational meetings and zeroed in on Guerrero: "How can you play third
base like that? You've gotta be thinking about something besides baseball.
What is it?"
"I'm only thinking about two things," Guerrero said. "First, `I
hope they don't hit the ball to me.'" The players snickered, and even
Lasorda had to fight off a laugh. "Second, `I hope they don't hit the ball
to Sax.'"
