Lutris is an Open Source gaming platform for Linux. It installs and launches games so you can start playing without the hassle of setting up your games.
During Installation:
After the Zwift installer downloads, you’ll be greeted by a white screen. Quit the launcher, including from the wine system tray
After Installation
Zwift requires the launcher to be running at all times. Select “Run EXE inside wine prefix” and select “drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Zwift/ZwiftLauncher.exe”. Once it’s running you can hit “Play”.
so my guess is that connecting directly to your trainer/HRM/cadence/etc probably doesn’t work, but it CAN pair with your companion app. i’m still holding out to be able to pair directly, preferably (for me anyway) over bluetooth.
Hi, only just heard of Ubuntu and Linux and lutris today for the first time. Can anyone tell me, is it legal? And is downloading zwift by this method legal etc? Not trying to be difficult, just genuine questions as this is all completely new to me. Windows 7 gave up on me so looking into alternative!
yes it’s legal. linux is a computer operating system like windows, and Ubuntu and lutris are “flavors” of Linux. “wine” is a piece of software that lets Linux pretend to be windows so that toy can install windows programs on Linux.
ubuntu is a relatively easy way to get into Linux, but there is definitely a steep learning curve, so know that if you go that route it can be challenging.
I tried Lutris and docker image too. It was working great till I got into ANT+ connection problem on my phone.
I solved my problem using WMware virtualisation for now, ANT+ dongle and some pretty fast CPU and GPU. I currently have 8G and 3D support in VMware turned on. It works somehow, still there are some graphic glitches but for my use it’s ok.
I am trying to install Zwift (Ubuntu 22.04.3), and its dependencies, one of which is Microsoft WebView2. I did the install through Lutris and everytime it fails related to “Installing Microsoft Webview2 Runtime”.
It downloads and the WebView2 splash screen says, “Installing Microsoft Edge WebView2 Runtime”. After over an hour of waiting it eventually gives an error message about not installing. At this point nothing else happens and I have to give up the install by clicking Abort Lutris.
Its been ages but thanks you for your help.
I try with docker but i have still a problem when running it
