How do you run this package on lutris or is that the GE-proton (latest) runner?
Use wine-cachyos in Lutris. There is a script to symlink proton-cachyos to Lutris runners directory however if you are insistent. See Add proton steam -> lutris symlink Option · Issue #78 · CachyOS/CachyOS-Welcome · GitHub.
hey naim, sorry to necro this post, but I’ve been having some trouble with lutris + umu-launcher + proton-cachyos after following the docs and am wondering if your guidance in this thread is still valid
the gaming docs pretty clearly state that I should be setting proton-cachyos within lutris, but doing so reliably errors out (at least with all GOG installs I’ve tried) within umu-run on some initial validation tests for reasons I don’t really understand

setting the lutris wine runner to use /opt/wine-cachyos/bin/wine seems to work like a charm though, so I’m wondering whether something is busted re: proton-cachyos or maybe the docs just need to be updated to reflect newer guidance?
fully patched, very fresh install (just this weekend), very little really done to the system beyond installing cachy-gaming-meta and cachy-gaming-hello
also if you’d rather I start a new thread I’m def happy to do that
No problem, umu is actually such a pain point for native proton builds right now because the maintainers are forcing insane behaviour. Do you have umu-launcher installed from our repositories? You need it if not.

I do, yea! I’m not at the computer right this minute, but I double-checked this morning that I def had umu-launcher installed from the cachy repos specifically and definitely do (unless paru is lying to me)
for good measure I even forced a reinstall of lutris and umu-launcher just to be extra sure the files laid down were as fresh as could be
Thanks, I’ll send this to our in-house umu expert then.

This has instructions for proton-cachyos with lutris
If you are using umu-launcher from our repos, then with UMU_NO_RUNTIME=1 it works as expected. My guess is that forgot to set that env variable.

nice, appreciate that, and those are indeed the instructions I followed when settings things up!
I’m pretty darn sure that I have UMU_NO_RUNTIME=1, UMU_RUNTIME_UPDATE=0, and PROTON_VERB=waitforexitandrun all set in my wine runner config env vars…
that said I’ll go ahead and triple-check when I get a minute, but my confidence I did that correctly is somewhat high unless I simply configured the wrong env var section somehow?
If problems persist, post a log with UMU_LOG=debug set. Should help us identify the issue further

god bless, I’d been digging through umu-launcher docs and source trying to find an env var like UMU_LOG and it was driving me nuts being unable to find one haha, thanks!
and how about that, I think you’re right on the money about those env vars not being set but I don’t quite understand why that’s the case!
looking at the env vars logged when umu-run executes with debug logging it def doesn’t appear to have any of those I set under the “Game execution → Environment variables”
setting UMU_LOG there had no affect, but running the following did:
$ UMU_LOG=debug lutris -d
afaict that’s the right section that the docs guide me to configure, so I’m open to thoughts on where I went wrong or failed to configure 
`UMU_LOG=debug` output

are these the global or the game local settings?
Try setting them as game-local settings. I really have no idea why they are not being used despite being set.
Also which version lutris is this?
I don’t believe I can set game-specific settings before I’ve even installed the game, at least not as far as I can find.
the settings shown are the wine runner settings as per the docs, so not game-specific but also not lutris-wide global config.
just the wine runner config specifically
I have no env vars configured in the “Global options” section, which would apply to all runners vs just wine I believe.

Yeah, I can reproduce it. This is a Lutris issue. It seems like it doesn’t respect environment variables from its own settings when installing games.
As you already figured out you can set these before running Lutris, like you did with UMU_LOG=1 and they get applied.
Your other option is to use a different wine runner, like wine staging, install the game and then revert back to proton-cachyos.
