Lutris [Official Site], the 'open gaming platform' that acts as a front-end to help you manage various games on Linux has a fresh release out.
With Lutris 0.4.21 released yesterday it features an array of improvements, feature adjustments and bug fixes to make it a more pleasent experience overall.
For those using Lutris to help with Wine and DXVK, they fixed an issue where DXVK versions didn't get updated if DXVK directory wasn't present and they also added an error message if requested DXVK version does not exist to prevent some confusion.
To help with Wine use overall, they've also added a warning for wine games if Wine is not installed on the system, there's a new Esync toggle for wine builds with Esync patches as it may cause issues for some users, Wine's own Virtual Desktop configuration is now respected, some improvements to wine download dialog and so on.
They also improved the behavior of Lutris' background process amongst other improvements to the UI, wording issues and more. Seems like a good release, nice to see it continue to improve!
As a reminder though, Lutris isn't just for managing Wine games, it also helps with launching your native games, emulators and more.

Quoting: GuestHope this fixes the issue with it constantly syncing my steam libaryThe Sync option seems to never do anything for me, shows games I don't even have installed at the moment too. Strange feature.
Don't even have the Sync option for my steam account turned on yet everytime I boot up steam it'll add tons of games from my steam library onto lutris which I don't want
Quoting: GuestSo say you have a game installed, and the person maintaining the script updates it to take advantage of newer versions of WINE etc for better performance, will the script be automatically updated to make use of it?
It doesn't. But I did ask about something like that in the Lutris discord channel last week and it was agreed that an "update" feature would be a useful thing. So it may come at some point in the future.

Not sure how this would work, revisions could include a number of changes outside of just the wine version. The maintainer would need to probably write an update script separate from the install script. Would be a nice feature...although I'm sure it would break a lot of installs as well.

It's a lot better than playonlinux for games* playonlinux has a lot of options for software that is not games, like photoshop, whereas lutris is hyper focused on games.
And this is a gaming website hence the name gamingonlinux its not microsoftofficeonlinux.com is it

Well you started the shade just letting you know being good for applications is not really the point you dont go to a plumbing website and ask wheres the best place to buy a plane ticket. Same thing here you dont come to a gaming focused website and say how can i run mircosoft office under linux so back on point lutris is better than playonlinx for its indented gaming purpose.
