For fans of Lutris as the open-source desktop client for installing and playing many games on Linux, Lutris 0.5.20 is out today with new features that further enhance the integration with different emulators and compatibility layers.
Lutris 0.5.20 now uses Proton-GE launched via UMU as the default for keeping Proton-GE up-to-date, various Proton integration fixes for that critical component to Valve’s Steam Play, Wine runner adds an option to select Wine’s Wayland driver, updating the EA App source to their new API, adding an Azahar runner, a Steam Family source to support Seam Families, ICD support for Intel Xe GPUs, supporting the Ptyxis terminal as an option, Python 3.14 compatibility fixes, and various other changes.
The ability to select the native Wine Wayland driver was raised via this pull request nearly a year old for changing the Wine graphics driver akin to Lutris’ Wine audio driver option.
Among the Proton work in Lutris 0.5.20 is fixing integration bugs, letting Proton handle VKD3D / D3D Extras / DXVK-NVAPI, passing Esync / Fsync / DXVK settings to Proton, and enabling DXVK’s D8VK with Proton.
