What’s the best way to play pirated windows games on Linux?
Ever since I’ve migrated I stuck to emulation for game piracy cause it was pretty simple. Ive been trying to run some repacked games but I can’t get them to install properly.
I don’t see many people talk about this probably because most game pirates use windows if I had to guess.
I recently got fitgirl’s Cyberpunk 2077 repack working on Artix Linux with Lutris by following this guide:
It doesn’t take into account you also need to use GEProton as well (for Cyberpunk at least), but its easy enough to install GEProton via ProtonUp, and then just configuring the game to use GEProton in the settings via lutris. I got mangohud working as well.
Lots more setup and you need plenty of hard drive space as both the repack and the installed game are huge (have double the space available listed on the repack site).
I love this though, it runs offline and honestly It runs better than on Steam.
after a non-succesful attempt at installing fitgirls cyberpunk on my deck (through bottles), i downloaded dodi’s repack and it worked flawlessly. just pointing it out.
