Getting this error when opening the install window. Version 1.11.3.261 and Legendary 0.20.34 on Arch Linux.

Yes, that is expected, recent versions need to use our own fork of legendary for the time being. Sadly there hasn't been any releases of legendary for a while and a lot of useful PRs have been left unmerged. Our fork serves as a, hopefully, temporary way to get some of these needed features into Rare.

You can use the AppImage in the meantime, or build/install the package that I host here PKGBUILD package

I do hope this is not a permanent solution, but for now Rare can't do without it. I could make some features optional based on legendary version, but it's gonna get messy and I don't feel it would be that useful long term.

Thank you for the quick reply! Works! Maybe you can add the PKGBUILD to the AUR?

I am not the one managing the AUR package, but I will try to contact the maintainer about it.

Now the PKGBUILD is broken (dependency problem). We really need a official working Arch package...

You are right, I forgot about it, sorry.
