    Good stuff. Important for people who want to play the game but don’t want to give money to Bethesda and, by extension, their genocide-complicit parent company, Microsoft.

    And if you know where to search, there is a Wine repack for Linux. I tested it on Debian testing – works.

      If it’s the repacker I’m thinking of (JC), he makes it so complicated for no reason. Was that the case again here or was it someone else? I’d rather just use Lutris than his releases.

        I’ve never had one single game working from JC.

        On the other hand, almost any fitgirl or dodi release works just fine, or at least as well as I’d expect from the steam release.

          Yeah, I had one working at some point but the others didn’t work out. It really does seem like Wine GE is where it’s at for me, it just works like 99% of the time no matter who the repacker is.

        You can download pre installed from Anker games. Then just add it through wine or proton and you are good to go buddy!

        Torrent. I don’t know why people act like it’s a secret. This isn’t a Signal chat with war plans bro.

      I don’t understand why I would need that. Can’t you just run any release through a normally installed version of wine?

        I’ve seen it usually works well.

        I believe you do have to change the slashes in the checksum files and run wine setup.exe in the folder, after that it should have a desktop shortcut just like on Windows. You should also be able to add it as installed game to Lutris.

        Take it with a grain of salt, I haven’t tried it myself, though.

        In most cases – no. Wine is far from being a reliable tool. Many programs demand this or that patch for Wine to work. And you surely don’t want to tinker with that.

          I’ve only had like 3 games from FitGirl not work fine installing with Lutris.

          2 of them needed some dependency like .NET installed first, and only one I could get working at all but the DODi version worked fine.

          Everyone kept telling me Wine sucks even before I switch to Linux. But I’ve had it work fine a lot more times than not, even for some old obscure software that barely works on Windows 10 anymore.

          Weird. I have yet to encounter a game that wine-ge couldn’t handle out of the box.
