Confused by Lutris, game doesn't launch overnight. - Lemmy.world

Hello everyone! TL;DR: CP2077 worked via Lutris yesterday. Doesn’t work today. No idea how to troubleshoot Linux, need pointers. I’ve made the switch to Linux three days ago and I’m trying to figure out how to handle gaming. I’ve been recommended to use Lutris on my recent post about me switching to Linux and that’s what I did. Not gonna lie, I watched a couple videos, read a couple wikis and then jumped in the fire, eager to play, so I don’t fully understand what I’m doing yet. Yesterday, I told Lutris it could find my copy of Cyberpunk 2077 on my Windows disk. Filled the config panel as instructed by the youtube video (Linux Experiment) and launched the game. Worked perfectly immediately. Today, it crashes on launch with a RED error saying ‘Cyberpunk 2077 flatlined’. I’m on Pop_OS and did some updates yesterday so I suspect it might be related? On Windows I’d know how to troubleshoot on my own, but here I’m confused as to where to start the investigation. Could you give me pointers for me to go under the hood and figure out what’s going wrong? Thanks for your help! :)

Update 2.0 broke launching. Try the fix here: lemmy.ml/post/5553816
PSA: How to fix the 2.0 update for Cyberpunk 2077 (GOG version) - Lemmy

The answer is one dll that gets loaded that causes the game to crash on startup. Go to $WINEPREFIX/drive_c/GOG Games/Cyberpunk 2077/bin/x86/ and rename GameServicesGOG.dll to GameServicesGOG.dll.bak (or delete it if you like to live life on the wild side). Now enjoy playing the update! This was tested on Arch using AMD and latest mesa.

I’m using 2.0 with no issues launching.

I’m on Ubuntu 22.04 using lutris. I also have my game installed on an ext4 partition. Too many different variables there to try to make any general assumptions on why it isn’t launching for them.
