Known issues

• 32-bit extensions aren't installed automatically

• Destination Directory in ~/Games Cannot Be Found

  Both of these issues are solved by installing the version of

  flatpak install --user flathub org.gnome.Platform.Compat.i386

  which corresponds to the GNOME runtime used by net.lutris.Lutris. If net.lutris.Lutris was installed without the --user flag, consider not using it for the extension.

• Lutris cannot detect my custom Games folder Related issue: #79

  Add the adequate filesystem override, and consider if the --user flag should be used

  flatpak override --user --filesystem=/path/to/your/Folder net.lutris.Lutris
