How to play Windows games on Linux

If you are looking for a way to play Windows games on Linux, and you’re not sure how… look no further!

Lutris has been a life saver for me. I have been looking for a way to play Windows games since switching over to Linux full-time, and it has been a rather frustrating experience to say the least. I really hope that Lutris is able to help you get back to gaming like it has for me.

I ran into an issue with Lutris where I kept attempting to launch games that they would just stay in a “loading” state forever. It ended up being a file that I needed to modify. I’m going to post the fix below in the event you also run into the same issue.

I found the fix within the Lutris GitHub page here: https://github.com/lutris/lutris/commit/072e72a4aefd91101b79dd05d8ce9f100a4b6b0c

The fix is the following…

Modify /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/lutris/util/steam/config.py

Change library[“libraryfolders”].pop(“contentstatsid”) to library[“libraryfolders”].pop(“contentstatsid”, None)
