Lutris refuses to run

Question

just installing lutris, the the first time i ran it it went straight into a crash message and since then it won't run at all, even after a remove and reinstall. It's present in my apps but clicking it does nothing. I couldn't see any processes for it when i ran top. Tried using the submit issue command and this was the result if that helps. It was also the result of the lutris -d command. I'm a complete noob at linux (don't even know what the -d command does) but what's going on?

lutris --submit-issue

i followed these steps linuxconfig.org/… mainly: $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:lutris-team/lutris then: $ sudo apt update $ sudo apt install lutris If I'm on the administrator account and using sudo can it be a permissions problem?
