I hate when you spend weeks getting games to work and then an update happens and everything is now broken. My copies of Simcity REFUSE to launch in any way and now i can't reinstall them either. All my other games i had to change the runner and redirect the .exe on each game. I may just install 0.5.19 and see if i can get them to start working again.

Apparently plenty of people had their game libraries ruined by this update as well and i lost all my hours of Simcity, so that sucks. Anyone else having issues with the update version of lutris?

Alright after about 2 hours of reinstalling and trying different options i finally got Sim city 4 and 3000 unlimited to work. But i lost all my save data, so thanks Lutris for completely changing all the wine settings and making proton take over everything.

98% of my games are 32 bit, so the new version didn't like them. I had to manually change everything and try several different runners to get these to actually work. Some are on System 11, some are on wine ge-8-26-x86_64, and some are on GE-Proton to get them to launch again, But i finally have all 19 games working again. What a pain.

I turned off automatic updates on lutris as a result.

You could have used Google and figured out how to find the saves in like 30 seconds....
