Lutris: Runtime steam is not available locally

Hello, hope this finds everyone well.

So today I wanted to play Diablo III, and after searching I found that Lutris has a good performance with this game.
So I went through the install, I installed it by pamac

sudo pacman -S lutris

but when I start lutris it get stucked on “Lutris is starting” forever.

On terminal it displays an error: “Runtime steam is not available locally”

I don’t know what to do about it.

Ps.: I’ve already tried
wget https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/538903130704838656/796102070825779250/dxvk_versions.json -P $HOME/.local/share/lutris/runtime/dxvk

When you start Lutris does it download something? Check network activity.
Also read this and give proper system info How to provide good information

PS: don’t install stuff randomly in Lutris this is not needed to start it and will most likely complicate troubleshooting as you will probably break more stuff than fixing anything.

Is your computer already fully updated?

sudo pacman -Syu lutris would have been a safer option.

If you haven’t updated your computer recently, try to update your mirrors and update your computer.

sudo pacman-mirrors -f 5
sudo pacman -Syyu

You don’t need this. It’s supposed to do it by itself, but I think it only does if you have vulkan stuff installed.


Your version of python-magic is too old.

You can ignore that.

Runtime steam is not available locally

This is mainly for if you plan to use Steam via WINE. If you want that message gone, you can install steam-manjaro

Yes, it increases network usage. But, yesterday I left it during the night, but nothing happened.

Ok, thanks for it!

It does have a reason for that install, I found it on a Lutris forum.

Yes, my computer is fully upgraded.

Oh, I see, but I already have “steam-manjaro”

So, I’ve fixed the problem.

I removed Lutris, Steam-Native, Steam Manjaro and Wine.

So i installed it again in the following order: Wine, Steam-Native, Proton, Steam Manjaro and Lutris.

Thank you for the answers!

Unless you know the reason I think this package is for specific use case.
