    I also have curiosity. I found steam so much easier than piracy so I never tried. Except in the one case of Riddick. Couldn’t buy it so I installed a cracked version on Lutris. From memory it just worked. Also it’s great, totally worth a playthrough if you haven’t already.

          It depends on the game, but gnerally you would set up the prefix with whatever wine or proton version is compatible, install any other windows stuff like directx or fonts etc if required, and then run the install executable for the game and install it. Then you might have to run a separate crack program in the prefix or replace the game exe in lutris

              Just FYI cyberpunk works perfectly fine on Linux.

              I understand the piracy, I’m not advocating it but I understand. But if you have the funds, and the company is worth getting your money why don’t you just get out of all the trouble of finding how to play it and just buy it and play it without any issue?

              With that said, lutris and/or bottle (or any other recent launcher to play video games on linux) will actually do the trick. If for some reason you are unable to find the how to somewhere I wonder if you should really be downloading executables off the internet. Even more so on windows if you are not using Linux anymore for ever.

              Those are usually the vector of a lots of viruses and malwares.

              Anyway. Have fun with cyberpunk, it’s pretty great!.. When you can launch it :-)

    I’ve noticed your posts a couple of times now. Just pay for your fucking games, especially from the companies that still have a heart for gaming. You get a game that most likely will work on Linux, they get paid for their work.
