Quoting: crabelI've added my steam library now, the games are listed. Didn't try to install new games, but how do I add already installed games?

Manually? One by one? Btw.: Where do I find the application ID (Note: I can google that, but that number is simply inconvenient) Maybe you could ask for the Steam Library folders and "scan" from there?
I'll try and make installers for all Linux Steam games this week. In the meantime, yes, you can "install" them manually, just select Steam as the runner and put the steam game ID (it's at the end of the address of the game's page on steampowered.com) and done.

Sure, that won't work without manual configuration for each game, but that could easily be done by the crowd. Somebody who creates a "base game configuration" for some game could easily share it, if you give them the option.
Anyone can submit an installer script on the website. If you want you can submit ones for Linux Steam games yourself, it can't be more easy: go to your library on the website, open the page of a Linux Steam game that doesn't have an installer, click "Write a new installer", the script is automatically generated, you just have to submit it. (Yes, we could probably automate the whole process but didn't get around to detecting the available platform for Steam games yet.)

How do I configure the steam runtime, I mean, which executable? /usr/games/steam? or ~/.local/... something?
If it doesn't auto-detect your Steam installation, you need to point to ~/.steam/bin (Steam creates this folder at first launch, it points to the real install folder).

And thanks for the Gtk errors report. We'll see if we can / need to do something.

OH by the way, there is a recent bug on Steam that affect us: if Steam isn't started, launching a game from Lutris will start Steam but you have to double-click it a second time for it to finally launch.

Are there any plans to include some sort of universal gamepad configuration?
Absolutely. It's one of the features that shouldn't be too long to come, I think.

Quoting: NothingMuchHereToSayXodetaetl, Is it possible to have actual icons over the black sphere in Lutris?
There's no feature to hand pick icons yet, but you can put your own icons in ~/.local/share/icons/hicolor/32x32/apps/ named "lutris_<game id>", or if it's just for a couple games you can give me the names and I'll add them on the server.

@ntfwc: Lutris can launch games without the GUI using the "lutris lutris:<game id>" command.
Your solution sounds interesting, but probably not suitable for all the things we want to do. :)

No need for a bug report, we're here. :) (I mean the Lutris team)
Izberion, you can still use the program, right? What's your distro?

I hate this world. It evolves in the wrong direction 80% of the time.

I would be very interested if it was ecological. But I can't destroy the planet for my own pleasure more than I already do.

GOG com Now Officially Support Linux Games

Quoting: n30p1r4t3Valve and GOG are worlds apart in terms of missions.
Gog wants to compete with Steam. Read this article [External Link], especially the Coming to America section.

Quoting: n30p1r4t3But I can't understand why the only two distributions supported are exactly the same! (See First post)
Because they are the two most popular. And it's easy to support similar distros, you said it yourself.
