I'm trying to install a Windows game through Lutris, and the installer automatically installs a new version of wine in order to make it work (wine 3.3 pba).

When the installer of the game itself starts running, there is a wine version mismatch error. I checked out the system version of wine on terminal and it says it's wine 2.21 staging.

How do I remove this old version of wine so that the installer can do its job?

I installed the old version with playonlinux but I removed it through the version manager, but it looks like it wasn't removed. I installed wine dependencies with these commands:

wget -nc https://repos.wine-staging.com/wine/Release.key
sudo apt-key add Release.key
sudo apt-add-repository 'https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/'
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install --install-recommends winehq-staging

PlayOnLinux has a gui to control your installed Wine versions. If you open it, go to Tools > Manage Wine Versions you can then remove and add different ones.

POL Wine Manager

So, to manage wine versions in Lutris, go to Lutris > Manage Runners.

Lutris main window

Find Wine in the list and select Manage Versions.

enter image description here

Untick the Wine versions you do not want.

  • I did it and I also uninstalled POL but terminal still says that the wine version is 2.21 staging. – mariomega4 Mar 11 '18 at 11:27
  • There's a description on how to change wine version in Lutris on their site, i'll try to recreate it and post some screenshots. – Baa Mar 11 '18 at 12:14
  • I've added a guide for Lutris, I don't know too much about this program but I imagine it would use a seperate Wine installation than what is on your system by itself. Maybe try what Shayan mentioned and remove Wine completely so we are only left with Lutris' Wine. – Baa Mar 11 '18 at 13:03
