Linux Crack Tips

The jonhcena141 launchers page says that you can add the startup script to Lutris as a native executable, but when I try, The following error appears:

The file /home/(Username)/Games/(game)/start.n.sh is not executable

Does anyone know how to make it work?

Hi there! I am currently searching for a better Bottles Config since the only one I managed to build which doesn't crash after the title card is now stuttering like hell on my new Gentoo install. I'd take any way to play it, doesn't have to be Bottles. Thanks in Advance!

(Here is my current config: https://0x0.st/Xr4k.yml )

I've been trying to install Oblivion Stutter Remover using the proper documentation given for the mod that says I just need to unzip the folder where the mod came and drag it into my Data/ folder inside my Oblivion folder.

I have done everything it says but there is no difference at all, in fact the mod is not working at all since the mod locks the fps at 60 and I have almost 300 fps.

Maybe someone with more experience can help me with this? Thanks.

For some strange reason, this game doesn't seem to work with goldberg emu, despite the fact that it doesn't even have any DRM/SteamStub (running it through Steamless fails). A few months ago, someone from another community helped me get the game setup via something called "Smart Steam Emu" and now I have to launch the game via something called "SmartSteamEmu.exe" (Disclaimer: Idk anything about this stuff, so I'm talking out of my ass tbh).

Well I'm trying to transfer the game to my Steam Deck, but nothing seems to work! I tried getting the game precracked from several different websites. I tried getting the clean steam files and replacing the steam_api64.dll with Goldberg's. I've tried adding as a non-steam game and enabling proton, I've tried Bottles (using both the game.exe's as well as the SmartSteamEmu.exe).

Idk why this little indie game that doesn't even have DRM is giving me such a hard time, when a hundred other games like it have worked fine! Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I have no idea what I'm doing. I'm trying to play a cracked version of JBPP (3 & 7), but the Deck just redirects me to purchase them, even though they're cracked (got them from steamrip) and they work fine on desktop.

I added them as non-steam games and set them to proton experimental, as I always do with my other cracked games that work fine, but these ones don't work for whatever reason. I followed a "foolproof guide to Lutris on Steam Deck" that was posted here a year ago, but that didn't get me any further. (I still have no idea what Lutris is. I guess it just can be used to run games instead of Steam?)

I added the game, created the prefixes folder and everything else the guide said to do. The only thing that happened was an item labeled "Jackbox Party Pack 7" appeared in the Lutris interface (nothing installed like the aforementioned guide was talking about and nothing showed up in the prefixes folder). But when I click "play" in Lutris, the button changes to "stop" for a min, then it goes back to "play" with the game never launching.

If anyone could PLEASE help me figure out how to get these JBPP games (from steamrip) working on Steam Deck, I would greatly appreciate it!

I downloaded rdr2 from dodi (and the updates) it installed properly and everything but it doesn't launch

Running with wine-ge 8-25 It instantly quits with error code (13568)

I read that installing vcrun2019 fixes it but that didnt help

Debian 12 (all up to date) Rtx 2060, 32GB 3200mhz ram, i5-11400f. 1tb ssd, Nvidia driver 525 on X11/i3wm

Ive tried different wine versions/prefixes, reinstalling, changing vkd3d version, updating system and none of that worked

Does anyone know what's wrong ?

I've been considering buying a Steam Deck but already having a decent PC I don't know if it's worth upgrading my PC or buying a Steam Deck.

I have a mid-range PC that runs any game nowadays, but I'm used to playing on console and I'm really more into programming and working on my PC, and what I like about the Steam Deck is that I just take it wherever I want to use it and I have everything ready to play, unlike a PC where for example, for emulated games I would need to look for a controller.

I guess I will buy the Steam Deck, but there are two things that concern me:

1. How can I add pirated games to my Steam library? Honestly I'd be lazy to have to go into desktop mode every time I want to run a game. Is there a way to add it directly to my Steam library? I understand that Heroic (Epic Games and GOG Launcher for Linux) has an option to add the games automatically to the Steam Deck library, adding my pirated games there would add them to Steam or is there a similar method to do that?

2. What is the emulation situation in the Steam Deck? I guess the Steam Deck is able to run almost any Switch game and some PS3 games, but I remember there was an emulator launcher specifically designed for the Steam Deck, does anyone know which one it is and if it is possible to open it directly from Steam?

I've been pirating on Linux with Bottles for years and I've never had any problems, I would consider myself an "experienced user" because I always solved my problems on my own but lately I can't run any pirated game on Wine with Bottles.

To start with, I first downloaded Terraria and the game wouldn't open, so I ran the game with the terminal and got this error:

wineserver: using server-side synchronization.
wine: RLIMIT_NICE is <= 20, unable to use setpriority safely
002c:err:wineboot:process_run_key Error running cmd L "C:\windowsystem32\winemenubuilder.exe -r" (126).
0084:err:hid:udev_bus_init UDEV monitor creation failed
Application could not be started, or no application associated with the specifi
ed file.
ShellExecuteEx failed: Internal error. 

Investigating I simply realized that it is a generic error, so I started to install the dependencies of the game (from the Redist directory) and they do not open either, I get the same error, literally no executable opens through Bottles, and the funny thing is that I tried everything and nothing changes.

I already tried to change the prefixes, disable GPU acceleration, remove the prefix and create another one (that is, the Bottle) and obviously Bottles has permission to write and read the directory where the games are, so I really don't know what could be causing the problem but it's pretty fucked up.

The curious thing here, is that I have a Bottle where I have EA Play and Battlefield V, and the game opens perfectly, but the Terraria executable does not. I wonder if it is simply some misconfiguration of my system, or the devs Bottles made some change that affects running executables, and I doubt it is the fault of the games being pirated because they are DRM-free games, such as Terraria.

Edit: Nope, reinstalling Bottles did nothing.

As of this writing, Baldur's Gate 3 updated to 'Patch 4' with a lot of changes. Unfortunately, those changes mean there will not be a standalone 'Patch 4' to update your game. The developers made a lot of changes to the system files, thus not allowing the ability to create a update patch. You will have to download the whole game again with Patch 4 included.

As of this writing, Fitgirl/DODI have not updated to this version. The only torrent one I know of is a Steam version on 1337x by IGGGAMESCOM; full game w/ Patch 4 included.

Just to note: Patch 4 has broken a lot of mods, and has a few issues of its own. Also, from reports here, it breaks Vulkan on Linux. User beware.

that's the sequel to FC 5. tried a couple of times to get it to work with various wine versions, had no luck. apparently, it has some unbreakable protection. not sure if that's correct, I can run both Far Cry 5 and 6 without issues, why would they just protect the interim version?

I have been trying to get either of these to work. I have seen a few people say that they got greenluma to work. One of them had said that they did it through WINE, but I have been having no luck.

hello fellow pirates, yesterday it ried for a very long time to get reign of chaos for streaming working.

Lutris scripts arent working. bottles script isnt working. playonlinux script isnt working. native wine isnt working (that one got the fathest, it showed the menu maybe once, killed itself and messed up my displays)

i tried my utter best but nothing seems to be working.

any help would be appreciated

Hi everyone! I am trying to play the Resident Evil 4 Remake, but when i click Main Story > Standard, it freezes half-way loading.

So recently, for reasons unknown to me, the old trick of

 WINEDLLOVERRIDES="steam_api64=n,b" %command%

has not been working, at least with SteamOS 3.5 on the Steam Deck.

So here is the fix if you've been having the problem of "SteamAPI_Init() failed" in your logs, particularly when using something like the Goldberg emulator that relies on implementing a replacement for steam_api64.dll. This should work for other cracks like TENOKE's which use the same method.

1.Navigate to the folder of the Proton version that you want to use for the game (it defaults here on the Steam Deck):

 /home/deck/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/(THE PROTON VERSION THAT YOU USE)/user_settings.sample.py

2.Rename that file to:

 user_settings.py

3.Within that file, erase everything and add one single line:

 user_settings = {"WINEDLLOVERRIDES": "steam_api64=n,b"}

4.Save the file and check to see if your games are working through Steam.

I don't know why this works over WINEDLLOVERRIDES in the launch options - it really shouldn't. But I've found that it does.

Let me know your experience.

I've downloaded the game from cs, and I've tried my best to make it run. If I make a win32 prefix, the game doesn't run and the log says bad file descriptor. If I make a win64 prefix, the game silently crashes, nothing in the logs whatsoever. I've installed directx 9, dinput8, wmp9, I've run the game with dinput8 override as native first, nothing worked. If anyone has any idea how to make this game run, please help.

I downloaded the GOG version (from a secure site) and it runs fine, my PC can handle it and it runs perfectly on medium at a stable 60fps, but sometimes when I play the game it seems "slow", I can't really describe it but it's like the game runs fine at first and then drops below 20fps and when I restart the game it runs fine again.

I know it sounds like the cryptominer from 1337x, but I didn't download from there and the GPU and CPU usage is exactly the same.

The game is installed on an SSD.

I'm running Bottles with wine-ge-proton8-13, dxvk-2.2, vkd3d-proton-2.9 and the problem persists in both dx and vulkan.

I got Tmodloader working fine on my desktop without issues using the GOG Linux Native version, but trying the same on my Steam Deck has proven tricky, I try adding it as a non steam game via the .sh commands [start-tmodloader.sh], but nothing happens when I launch it, in either desktop or game mode, not much luck adding Lutris as a Non Steam Game either. Is there any commands I need to check for that?

I'm trying to run Baldurs.Gate.3.GOG.Rip-InsaneRamZes on Steam Deck.I tried both on Lutris with various runners (in this moment I set it on lutris-GE-Proton8-13..) and Steam as a non Steam game with various Proton versions as well (mainly 8 and Expermiental).In any case I got a black screen of the duration of 1 second followed by a crash.

With Lutris (lutris-GE-Proton8-13) I got this error log:

Started initial process 1312 from gamemoderun /home/deck/.var/app/net.lutris.Lutris/data/lutris/runners/wine/lutris-GE-Proton8-13-x86_64/bin/wine /run/media/deck/DeckSD/baldurs-gate-3/drive_c/Baldurs Gate 3/bin/bg3_dx11.exe --skip-launcher

Any help?

FYI: Baldurs.Gate.3.GOG.Rip-InsaneRamZes is the same as DoDi but I downloaded it earlier than their repack.

The dx11 exe always crashes for me. I changed the executable to 'farcry3.exe' in the start file, and it seems to work now. If there is anyway to make dx11 version to work, lemme know guys. Specs: Arch Linux, Ryzen 5 5600, RTX3060, 16GB.

Yesterday I have downloaded Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc on Lutris (Windows version) and it ran perfectly, but today I get no sound at all (I've tried GE-Proton 8-8, 8-7, Staging 8.12, fshack 7.2, changed system default audio to Pulseaudio and to my headset but to no avail)

I've tried johncena141-s Linux version which didn't even start: /usr/lib/libpthread.so.0: version GLIBC_PRIVATE not found (required by lib/librt.so.1)

In this case I've searched upon my GLIBC version (2.37) and did and neither an export GLIBC_PRIVATE=2.37 or export GLIBC_PRIVATE=GLIBC_2.37 work.

Been trying for a good while to tinker with one of these two, but hadn't had the most luck with it.

Game is Halo MCC, which granted information is spotty and I don't know if it even works on it on Windows, that one works weird with counting what DLC is installed.

A friend of mine and I are trying setting up an unRAID server. We used the crack on getintopc but it didn't work and we still have a 30 day trial. Is that normal or can we ignore that notification?

I've been trying to get DI2 running on my system, but it displays the error message "DX12 is not supported on your system. Try running without the -dx12 or -d3d12 command line argument.“ Adding -dx11 to the command line makes no difference.

OS is Tumbleweed. I've tried wine 8.12, various Proton GEs and also Proton Experimental. I have the latest dxvk and vkd3d packages installed. My GPU is a 1660Ti with the latest drivers and so I'm a little stuck on what is going wrong!

As I understand it, DI2 only supports dx12. Can anyone suggest a solution for this issue?

Here's the situation. I own the game. (Not just the free version, I own the base paid game + Season Pass) but everything outside the Season pass is individual so I ain't paying for that (Especially since I have it all on the PS4 version anyways) The only DLC unlocker that works on Windows is copying the following set of files in the game's folder.

cdxclient64.dll

CoopLand.ini

CoopLand64.dll

dlllist.txt

steam_emu.ini

winmm.dll

This has been the method the game's very small community uses. I tried different DLC unlockers to no success (Even on Windows). This, however, doesn't work on the Steam Deck. Is there any command line I should add? overrides or something of the sort to make them work? Any help would be appreciated. This is the last thing I need up and running on my Deck for it to have everything I want on it.

Evening all, Have just installed this and added a link to Lutris to fire it up via GE-Proton8-6.

On my system at least, the game requires vcrun2022 to be installed and the launch option -dx11. Game engine is UE4.

The problem that I am currently having is no movies are playing. I've tried mf-install but this actually causes the game to crash with a "Fatal Error."

Can anyone suggest a workaround? System specs attached.

Cheers!
