Dear fellow pirates , for me downloading movies is the easy part but downloading games like portal 2 and inscryption which have native support but i still have to look for repacks from fitgirl and dodi because i think they are safe
0.) can someone provide me with what the bug is that i cant get sound in inscryption game from fitgirl repack in linux
1.)I know about cs.rin.ru and the goldberg emulator and clean files but i dont know much about them can someone pls tell?
2.) are the clean steam files 100% virus-free or can someone infect it as well
3.)How good are sites like torrminator which provide native linux support for games
4.)Can someone tell me how to please make the game of inscryption in fitgirl repacks have sound on lutris with wine?
Nobody started bullshitting you, and everyone knew that you were using Linux. You started a post asking how to run repacks from Fit Girl on Linux, and when you were given an answer, you told the other person that they were wrong. The next comment explained in detail how to do it, including setting up winetricks, but you didn’t respond to that.
There’s nothing wrong with not knowing how to do something, or with asking for help, but don’t accuse people of bullshitting you and not helping just because you don’t understand the answer.
They’re not even asking for help in the right way. They’re like, “This thing doesn’t have sound. I want to have sound. Tell me how to make it have sound.” It doesn’t work that way. It isn’t voodoo magic and the people that read this aren’t psychic. If there’s a problem with the sound, then all kinds of factors have to be eliminated until the one factor preventing the sound production is identified. That means looking into logs, the install script, the WINE settings, blah blah blah. This individual is looking at the internet as some sort of magical incantation medium. It’s not a friggin’ genie. It’s like asking the internet, “Please give me a million dollars.”
I think I uploaded a thank you note to the person who told me the steps , but the sound couldn’t work , and I am sry if you feel like i am accusing people of bullshitng me It was just the fact that people were like :“Yeh , its ok , just run the game and boom it works with everything” which kinda pissed me I am once again sorry if I acted like a dumb child.
You literally said that they bullshitted you in this post, the one that you’ve just edited >.<
Using Wine, you should have been able to just run the game, that’s the point. If you’d said that you’d tried that and it didn’t work, then you would have got different answers.
Either way, good luck with the game 👍
You will find it very difficult to get help with game piracy on linux just because the community is very small. If the game has a native release it will be even harder since most linux users want to support developers that do native releases. I’ve only ever tried a couple games that I had no problems with and that was a few years ago. These days if it has a native release I will always just buy it.
I do get that point , but I don’t want to lie I am preety broke who lives in a third world country I am simply unable to afford such luxury of buying games

When you pirate on Linux it’s up to you to make sure you are running it in a compatible environment. Checking protonDB and other sources may show you some workarounds you will need. The other way to do this is to open the game in a terminal, try to run it, look for errors or missing .so files or other things in the terminal output, and use that as a starting point to figure out where you need to go to get it configured the rest of the way.
Lutris scripts and the like do not use pirated sources on purpose, so you are very much on your own with it.
dunno if i’m allowed to link here, but they all show up easy on google
i use:
rutracker, they have both a native linux section and a wine section
fitgirl repacks dot SITE (very important) usually work out of the box through lutris, just remember to change the default drive in the installer
and sometimes the jc141 releases on 1337xPlease Forgive me if I couldn’t have made my post clear , I tried my best , I don’t know much about pirating on linux and on windows , i used to always resort to fitgirl and dodi and steamunlocked
I am trying to become a more advanced pirate like you guys and in such if these doubts can be resolved , it would be a major win for me
I’m like you pretty new to all of this, but one thing I now is that you shouldn’t use steamunlocked. (It is discouraged on the megathread)
Yes , I used to do it Earlier but now i get that point after seeing the megathread my last game download from it was cult of the lamb which i then removed entirely infact i removed the entire windows and did a clean reboot and switched to linux because of being paranoid of viruses
- Clean steam files are game files that are unmodified from steam. This means that they will not open because they will check if you own the game on steam.
In order to fix this, you need to crack the game. One way to do this with games that only use steam DRM, is to use goldberg emulator. You can find instructions on cs.rin.ru or in the goldberg repo.
-
Cs.rin.ru is considered safe. Although it is technically possible for someone to upload a virus, as far as I know it hasn’t happened yet.
-
Very good, I would recommend torminatorr (specifically LinuxRulez repacks) to any beginner.
-
Try using bottles instead of lutris, it generally works better for me.

OMG, question 4, again. I’ve waited a little while to answer to give you time to edit your OP to make it slightly more polite. Here’s the deal with Fitgirl Repacks: A lot of them don’t even work correctly on a Windows machine. How do I know? I’ve used a few. Some of them are total garbage, some of them have one thing wrong with them, such as your sound problem. My best guess: Even if you weren’t using Linux with WINE or Proton (I mean, even if you were using a Windows machine) you would probably STILL have no sound. Why? Because Fitgirl Repacks vary in quality. Some are total shit, some are so-so, some are great. Now, let’s say your sound problem can be solved. Asking the question the way you’ve asked it isn’t the way to get an answer. Anyone with knowledge about how to solve your problem would need to ask you for logs and detailed information about your WINE or Proton settings for the game. However, I’ll put my money on the fact that the repack is just defective. Pirating games is this way. Sometimes you get a gem and sometimes you get garbage. Pirating games using Fitgirl Repacks is no exception. If you can’t afford the game at its current price on Steam (Ummm, let’s be clear, I could pay full price for this game and I want it some day, but I’m not willing to pay what they’re asking, it’s overpriced in my opinion), wait for a sale. At this point it’s pretty friggin’ old so, maybe, must maaayyyybbeeee this year in the Winter sale it will have a better discount. Nobody’s talking about it much anymore, which is a good sign, right? Save up for it so you can have some sound. Maybe every time you say or type “bullshit” you have throw a little money in a jar and then, every time you have to edit a post because you’re being rude, you have to throw a little money in a jar. By the Winter sale perhaps you’ll be able to afford the game when it’s discounted. My unsolicited advice on how to look at Fitgirl Repacks: Use them as a “try before you buy” that’s better than a demo. If it happens to work beautifully and you like the game, then you saved some money. If you want to try to get the sound working on the game, in your spare time study up. Look up things about WINE and how a person would go about configuring it manually. Study the game by looking up other peoples’ problems with it. Learn about the files in Windows it depends on. If it’s a problem on the WINE side of things and not on the Fitgirl side of things, your problem is no doubt a missing dll file or a particular setting your install script is missing. But, honestly, the repack is probably at fault here. If I were you, I’d just save up with a swear jar and wait for the Winter sale. Or even the Fall sale. Who knows? Maybe this year this damn game will be discounted better. I’ve been waiting a few years to get this game, myself.
sorry as a teenager its really tough managing your language on an anonymous platform with very less moderations but i like the idea of a swear jar , but i would like to tell you something , i dont recieve any pocket money If i want some thing i can take money of the shelf but then i have to justify why and what i did with it its just good etiquetes and also i wouldnt want to spend my parents hard working money on a game that i could pirate to play just for the nostalgia ( i have played it once pirated) and if i would want to pay the developers i would really want to go through the donation route i have tried to reinstall my whole system , so lets see maybe if that makes it work :)
It probably won’t. But hey, you have your “project” that will get you into Linux more. It always starts with one annoying thing. For me it was a trading card game quite a few years ago. I just kept looking stuff up until I figured out how to ask questions so people could help me get the dll files and configure WINE to work with it. One of the worst Fitgirl repacks I used on Windows was Grand Theft Auto IV. It worked, kind of, but it was wonky as hell. I’ve installed a number of them on Windows that were just too broken to even bother with. A lot of them are really good, though. Also, I did some research for you. It appears that even people who bought the game on Steam in 2021 had no sound. So, it might just be that the developers of the game screwed up and Fitgirl repacked the version from 2021 that came with no sound to paying customers.
Yep, downvoted, because yet another person who wants to point and click on shit in Linux and get perfect results. That’s not how it works, buddy. Linux is not a point-and-clicky user happy OS. You have to know shit about it and its associated software sometimes to make stuff work correctly. It’s getting to be a “works out of the box” OS for some distros, but even the ones that are “user friendly” need some tinkering. Do you want to use Linux successfully? Learn about how it works so that you can ask a question that gets you the solution to the problem. Do you want to press buttons and have stuff “just work?” Don’t use Linux. Use something else. Do you want the software to just work perfectly when you press a couple of buttons? Piracy isn’t for you, either. Study up, learn to ask the right questions, and take a class on how to not be totally rude. Downvote all you want. You’ll still have to play Inscryption with no sound until you figure out how to ask the question the right way so you can get an answer that solves your problem.
