hello fellow sailers , hope you’re having a nice day , a few months back i switched to arch linux because my computer has good ram but not that good gpu , but now i would like to play some og games like portal 2 , portal 1 , inscryption etc from fitgirl repacks and i have scoured through many guides but nothing just works , too complicated. can’t there be a simple guide with preferably images or something like that (like a website /blog maybe?) I would really appreciate that since many of my friends may like to join linux ship but they are pirates like me as well who wouldn’t be able to play games on linux. #Fitgirl-repacks,#Linux

    I’m not sure what problem you are having when you say ‘nothing works’. I’ve installed several FG repacks over the years including one only a couple of weeks ago. Open and terminal and cd to the directory that contains your FG download, then:

    1. export WINEPREFIX=$HOME/.wine_gamename
    2. winetricks -q dxvk xact xinput vcrun2022 win10
    3. winetricks -q vkd3d corefonts win10
    4. wine setup.exe
    5. cd installdirectory
    6. wine gamename.exe

    I separate the winetricks lines as sometimes winetricks gets overwhelmed if you call two many functions. I can assure you that this does work, though the repacks sometimes take ages to install. Personally I use rutracker as my source as the games come pre-made with wine.

        Rutracker has a forum dedicated to Windows games pre-packed with a wine runner. EDIT: Nothing to do with Fitgirl.

            Yes, rutracker is safe. In particular Kron4ek is a trusted repacker. You can also download games from certain IRC channels which is much quicker but requires some setting up.
