What’s the best way to play pirated windows games on Linux?
Ever since I’ve migrated I stuck to emulation for game piracy cause it was pretty simple. Ive been trying to run some repacked games but I can’t get them to install properly.
I don’t see many people talk about this probably because most game pirates use windows if I had to guess.
I do it all the time. Just add it to steam as a non steam app and select the proton version you want to use. It will run just fine.
EDIT: If you need to install first, just add the installer as a non steam program, run it, install normally and then chang the path of the exe and the working folder to those of the installed game
How does steam deals with installing on a different HD than system’s one? That’s the only issue I have had with WINE and I had to unpack in Windows.
It’s pretty straightforward. You just select the unit as you do in windows (as long as it is mounted).
I’ll give it a shot if I can’t get it to run on lutris.
Lutris + wineprefixes works great but most of the time it’s harder to configure and needs some search around the web to get it right !
Non-steam games with proton on steam works like nearly every time without to much hassle (if supported) !!
If you’re afraid of your account ban, create a dummy steam account only for your pirates games.
