With this release, we're adding back the ability to run games with Proton. While this can be an useful thing for testing compatibility, it is still recommended to stick with the builds provided by Lutris. We are now using @GloriousEggroll's Proton based builds by default, which makes using Steam's proton an even narrower edge case.
For players with very large libraries, Lutris will be a lot more responsive thanks to the performance improvements by @danieljohnson2, along with loads of other UI improvements!
Starting from this release, it is now possible to reference ModDB links in Lutris installers. If your distribution doesn't provide the moddb
Python package, you'll have to install it with: pip install moddb
.
We also have an integration with Itch.io, thanks to @GoGoOtaku (note that we don't have a way to search for or install free games from Itch.io with this integration).

This is a small update for the client released a few weeks ago. The goal is mainly to provide some fixes to improve Flatpak compatibility and provide a good experience on the Steam Deck.
A few fixes unrelated to Flatpak have been added as well and the MangoHUD option is now a simple switch (this requires the latest version of MangoHUD to have support for both 32bit and OpenGL games.)

Steam Deck support
We're pleased to announce the release of Lutris 0.5.10! This is the first release since the Steam Deck has started shipping and yes, Lutris runs quite nicely on the device. Many thanks to Valve for providing a dev kit!
Please note that the Flatpak version still needs some work and will be the next point of focus now that 0.5.10 is out. Currently, Lutris has been tested with the installation from the Arch and AUR repositories. This requires disabling the read only flag of your Deck's system drive and should only be done if you're comfortable with Linux to some extent. Consider re-enabling the read-only flag after installing Lutris.
Also note that major SteamOS upgrades might reset the system partition and require you to reinstall Lutris. This hasn't happened yet, and minor Steam Deck updates won't affect your Lutris installation. We hope having the Flatpak version ready before any major upgrade happens.
It's recommended to use the "Create Steam shortcut" when installing games, this will make the game available in the Deck UI and allow you to benefit from Steam Input. If you want to play games in desktop mode and use the Deck controls as a joypad, make sure you configure Steam accordingly, as it is set by default to emulate a keyboard and mouse.
Adding games
Make sure to click the "+" button to see its new functionality. It used to be for adding a game manually but now offers a lot of other options as shown below
"Search the Lutris website" replaces the "Community installers" tab in the Lutris service. The Lutris service now acts like the others and simply show your library from lutris.net.
"Scan a folder for games" is useful if you have a folder of games you previously installed with lutris but are no longer indexed in the client. This feature matches folder names with lutris game identifiers and uses the install script to find the correct executable
"Install a Windows game from media" is useful when you want to install a game from a setup.exe in an optical media or a download.
"Install from a local install script" is a GUI version of the previously available -i / --install
command line flag and allows you to install local YAML installers
"Add locally installed game" open the dialog to add a game manually, this was the default behavior of the "+" button.
Integrations
Lutris receives 2 new integration with support for Origin and Ubisoft Connect. As with the Epic Games Store integration, you will need to install the Origin and Ubisoft Connect clients to use this integration. This is especially important for Ubisoft Connect, since their API doesn't return all your games and most will be available once you have logged in the Windows client.
Ubisoft Connect also has a tendency to be slow and getting stuck on an "Initializing" dialog. If this happens, close the dialog and retry installing or launching the game you which to play.
The Origin client can sometimes fail to update itself. When this happens click the "cancel" button but when Origin asks you for confirmation to cancel the update, say no and Origin will restart the update process, completing it successfully.
Humble Bundle has made changes to their API and it is currently not possible to log in or install games until we provide a patch.
