As a Linux user, I want to give you my sincerest thanks after going through so many broken unpackings from both FitGirl and Dodi
- PSA, FitGirl and Dodi setups do fail during installations on Proton and Lutris Wine, but if you were to run them using vanilla Wine they (generally) work perfectly. Just open a terminal in the downloaded folder and enter wine ./setup.exe. Just make sure you set the correct installation folder (e.g. Z:/home/username/games)
  
  Update: the latest FitGirl setup for Cyberpunk 2077 didn't work on either
- Please please prioritize Empress releases that usually work on Linux and on Windows, and a Windows user would not see the slightest difference.
  
  I mean, if you go to Steamrip and download FH6 for SOME REASON it doesn’t run on Linux but on Windows, but if you download FH6 directly from the Empress Telegraph it works on both Linux and Windows, and Windows users don’t notice a difference
  
  I'm not in the Empress telegram. Where can I find her releases? I genuinely haven't seen them much, and I mostly play old and/or indie titles because of lower resource usage.
- The Dodi releases work almost every time on my Linux laptop using Bottles.
It would be great some kind of sticker or banner by release that says "Steam Deck/Linux verified", maybe the users themselves are the ones who comment if it is compatible or not and the banner is added.
Do unpacked releases need external cracks?
- Its normal scene releases but just unpacked (we also include UNPACKED.checksums to verify files was not modified), no rars, no zips, no isos.
  
  So... do they need external cracks?
I don’t get the point of sharing unpacked releases…
- Without exaggeration I have had to download a zipped tar, that contained a rar split into ~100 parts, which contained an iso which contained a custom installer that extracted the compressed game files.
  
  Seems to be overkill.
  
  With an unpacked release I can pick and choose what to download, if it's on a newer patch level I can just point it at an existing folder and it will just download the difference. And of course I don't have to jump through the stupid installation hoops.
  
  Sounds like this thing was redistributed multiple times before you got it lol
- A lot of games will work on Linux but crash during unpacking.
  
  I got in the habit of unpacking in a VM and transferring over after
  
  Unless you do one of these fitgirl-level things, Linux should have proper and error-free support for conventional formats such as ZIPs 7Zs and ISOs
- Uncompress time is bigger than download time.
finally. depacks
Just got a cloud flare error when visiting the site. Is there a problem currently?
What theme are you using for your forum?
What's the bang link for this community?
