Lutris not showing the games already installed in Steam

[kagetora13]

Hi,

I’m trying to get Lutris (version 0.5.8.3) to recognize the Steam game I have already have installed. When I choose the option to only show installed games no games show up:

What I know is working:

• Under Runners I can launch the Steam Native Application.
• When I choose to show all games I can see all the games which are in my Steam account (just greyed out like they are not installed).

Additionally I am not seeing a game import button (which I saw in other videos).

When I launch Lutris from terminal “lutris -d”:

 lutris -d

Question, Any recommendation around how to get Lutris to see your existing games?

I found this post which it appears that Lutris had issues and disabled the import option and service that would pick up Steam games.

I’ll leave this open just in case anyone knows a work around to get installed games to show in Lutris.

@keybreak , Just in case you want to add this to your awesome post.

Installed games not auto being picked up on Lutris & feature request to be re added

So, if i understand correctly there are no proper solution for this import library functionality so far, except manually adding each game to Lutris via + button?

[kagetora13]

Hi Keybreak,

Its very strange the way it presently is working.

(1) If I choose a greyed out game (which is already installed in Steam Native) it appears Lutris wants do install it again and download the binaries.

(2) It appears when I choose the ‘+’ button to add a new game that it is unclear how you could manually import an existing game. Unless the intention is still to re-install the game from scratch.

I have some ideas…
Is game(s) you’re trying Linux native or Proton?

[kagetora13]

Hi Keybreak,

The game I am testing to import into Lutris is “World of Tanks Blitz”.

I installed the game through the Steam Native Client and have it configured in force compatibility mode of Proton 5.0-10. I presently always launch it from the Steam client.

Try this:

1. Select your greyed out game in Lutris

2. Right Button → Add Installed game

3. Runner - Steam

4. Game options tab - enter Application ID
   If in doubt, look it up here

For me it worked, see if it works for you

I gave this a try but my results are a bit different.

(1) Started Lutris.

(2) I clicked on ‘Steam’ under Sources > Steam to show my greyed out games (this is my full Steam inventory).

(3) When right click on a game I see the ‘Install’ button.

(4) When I click the Install button I see the screenshot below:

P.S. From Steam I can go into properties of the game and get the Steam iD.

You shouldn’t do that step, your game should appear greyed out without sources just when you start Lutris…I think

[kagetora13]

Funny thing, So I on the game but there is no option to “Add Installed Game”.

When I start Lutris, this is all I see:

So there are no greyed out games in the Library > Games
