Hi Hans, I checked my PlayOnLinux installation on Bookworm, and it works well, however list area is blank until I start typing into the search area, known options do get displayed.
For example, I typed "gild" for "Guild Wars 2" and options were displayed, two were for "Guild Wars 2". I then tried "gen" and of options which were returned by the search, two options were for Genshin Impact. Does your installation display options once you start typing? (if your game is not listed, then please try the two tests that I tried) This is not in answer to your question, but I have had the best success using Steam, and using "install non-steam games". See below for a few links that I found which seem similar to your posted question. George.

For me, PlayOnLinux only shows supported games, once I started typing the name of the game. > Also all icons for other categories are missing, the > only one is an icon called "Patchesdia:nt" (whatever this means). I found these links, but I do not know if the suggested fix is safe or whether it works. I tried the fix, but then Install option did not work (maybe I applied the fix incorrectly?): https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=407732 On my machine it is here: /usr/share/playonlinux/python/install/InstallWindow.py https://github.com/PhoenicisOrg/phoenicis/issues/2562 When I select "Install" from the main window, I expect to see the various categories, "Accessories", "Development", ... but I only see the "Patches" icon, with the title "Patchesdia:nt". There is an "error" in InstallWindow.py, around line 54: self.cats_links[name].SetPosition((round(espace * iid + (espace - mataille / 1.3) / 2), 47)) self.cats_icons[name].SetPosition((round(image_pos), offset)) The "X" coordinate in the position is passed in as a float, but should be an integer. I thought python would inherently convert float to int, but for me it doesn't. I added round() for the x-coordinates and then it works. No idea if that would be a formal fix but it works for me. > > In earlier versions by clicking on "install" I got a bunch of categories > showed.
