Hello, the only thing from stopping me to fully use Manjaro as my primary daily OS is that pirating on linux is inconvenient. When i install pirated games on Linux they must be really lightweight to support, like Undertale or Papers Please, because WINE uses Vulkan graphics and they are fucking terrible on slightly more heavy games like superhot and shit, this entails having bad frame rate like 20 fps (unplayable). To whoever is using Linux and also pirates games on daily basis, do you also have the same problem? Is there any solution you could suggest me? Thank you
It sounds like you're more having a problem with gaming on Linux in general, not anything about how you obtain the games. Maybe ask at !linux_gaming@lemmy.world?
everyone else is right, the downvotes are unfair but your probleme seems to be fairly linux related.
What are the specs of your machine and how do you launch the games ?
depending ing on your graphics card, it may not support vulkan
If you are not already, try to use lutris, that way you will be able to chose which version of whine and dxvk you are using and get a bit more info on what is happening with your system, I frequently run game from gog on it and they run fine
I've tested Cyberpunk 2077 on Ubuntu (not my daily driver) and it works like you're playing on windows. Only downside is that you can't use ray tracing since Nvidia kept that tech proprietary and exclusive to windows for now.
See, Linux doesn't fully supports nvidia gpu, but still I'm having a great experience.
RT works fine with my system, including in CP2077. You just have to enable the flags. RT work on NV and AMD on linux. Even DLSS and DLAA work, minus frame generation.
Thank you guys for your answers and advices, i've found a solution thanks to the user named Monologue. An effective and simple solution that i've never thought about since concerned about risking a ban (not the case), and it is to simply add in steam the pirated .exe game file through the "add a non-steam game" button. This resolved the issue about implementing Proton into my wine build, which is very risky and complicated, by executing the game directly on steam. Couldn't give a fuck about the downvotes too
Either something is wrong with your setup, or your hardware. Make sure that you're running the right drivers and that you aren't accidentally running on your onboard graphics instead of your dedicated GPU.
Check the general Linux gaming boards, and doublecheck by installing Steam and loading up something heavier from your library if you have any.
Having just finished a DRM unencumbered version of Returnal by the excellent "LinuxRulez!" (linux repacks with all the trimmings) i can tell you that what you're experiencing isn't normal.
I've installed cracked windows versions of games on the steam deck before, adding them as a non steam game, going to properties and setting them to boot with proton. I even installed a few this way by adding the installer exe as a non steam game and running that in desktop mode, under proton. It's a hassle to find where it installed it after, but it worked for me anyhow
I mean proton is available in the AUR last I checked. Also, couldn't you just use the "add non-steam game" option in steam? I've heard it does sometimes block pirated games, but it wouldn't hurt to try
Funny enough, I once accidentally found a GitTea on the Dark Web (Tor browser, Onion Service) and this gittea had a Piracy Repo for Linux Games and many folders of games with text files of reviews similar to Protondb.com if this Crack worked or not and also added from which crack macker it was.
As a Linux user who uses AMD hardware and Vulkan and have done gaming on a range of systems, but mostly on Arch Linux and ArcoLinux (a distro based on Arch) it definitely seems like your issues are Linux Gaming-related. I do pirate, and I pirate on Linux, specifically on Arch, and I haven't had such issues, so yes, your problem is linux gaming related.
I've had decent success running my fg games through Bottles using the GE Wine runner with VK3D enabled. This includes newer 3D titles running at 1440p on my AMD iGPU.
