The UI is a total crashfest right now.

[strycore]

We aren't releasing 0.5.15 until this is fixed, this issue is now considered more important than anything else.

No traceback, Lutris just crashes showing this:

Gdk-Message: 11:38:46.343: Error flushing display: Broken pipe

[gageracer]

Whenever I mouse over the advanced settings on any game the whole app disappears. I have to make sure to not hover on settings and scroll down to access env variables.

We've made some efforts on this; I'd ask if you're having the crashes on the latest master, @gageracer.

You don't need to install it; just download the master branch and run the bin/lutris script within. Does that still crash on you?

Thanks for the response. It's looking much more stable. No crashes when I hover on any settings with the main branch!

Great work!

@gageracer Same for me. If started from terminal you can see that it core dumps. With different messages beforehand. This does happen randomly but not always.
Examples:

Also weird, I assumed problems with locales and tried to start with both LC_ALL and LANG set to C. The latter leads to some of the UI displayed in english (hence LANG=C) but game context menus are still german (System locale de_DE.UTF-8) and advanced config lead to crash.

All tested with latest Archlinux packages and configuration.

@danieljohnson2 master version seems to be fine crashwise although locale settings are not heeded even if I switch explicitly to german in global configuration. So I cannot compare without being able to switch the package version completely to english.

As I recall, you have to build Lutris with meson before the LANG= thing works. Lutris' language settings in its UI are for the games, not for Lutris itself.

So that's all normal.

You probably don't want to build Lutris, by the way. You'll need to remove it from ~/.local afterwards, which is a pain.

Ah, ok! Yeah, I won't. master version seems to mitigate these crashes and is snappier than the package version. Thanks! :)

[danieljohnson2]

I'm glad it mitigates it; I was hoping the crashes would be gone. No?

Since y'all been using this issue to duplicate #5092 I'm closing it.
