Fitgirl Repacks on Linux - Lemmy.world

Hey maties, just a hypothetical question I thought I would pose. Has anyone tried installing Fitgirl (or any repack I guess) on Linux using Wine or any of the similar compatibility programs? I have a couple repacks I would like to run on my Linux (Fedora 32) laptop and wondered if such a thing was even possible.

You can but sometimes you may run into an error where unarc.dll can’t run and the programs don’t install. I usually use Linuxrulez as those programs are made to work within Linux.
Some installers work, some don’t. You may need to install different versions of .net runtime.
I haven’t had an issue with the installers but I have had issues trying to get cracked games to run with their steam / epic emulators or undocumented .dll’s that you need to override.
I’ve had a 100% hitrate installing Fitgirl repacks husking lutris with this method: aHR0cHM6Ly95b3V0dWJlLmNvbS93YXRjaD92PWdWdWFiRWNrTU1BJmZlYXR1cmU9c2hhcmVi
That should be “using”, not “husking”.

I install them normally, using whatever WINE that came with Garuda, and have the cheek to launch them as non Steam games with Proton.

  • The Sims 4, complete I think the March 2023 release?
  • Warhammer 40k Boltgun worked for a bit and then something broke when launching it.
  • Dread Templar worked, I bought that one because I liked it.

The same is done with games from aHR0cHM6Ly9nb2ctZ2FtZXMudG8vCg

I just feed the installer to steam as a non steam game, run it, then point the library item at its own compat data folder (will generally be the most recent one) and boom. Off to the races with minimal effort
I installed two fitgirl repacks yesterday though lutris without any problems. I just had to change the installation path in the fitgirl installer which was somehow incomplete and therefore not working
Fedora 32? Bro that's what 4 years old?
Yea apparently I forgot how to count. It is actually 38
I’ve never had any issues. I just run the verify script then the setup.exe with “wine [program]”, then add the installed game to lutris.
Many work, some don’t (didnt happen to me, many people say that they had problems with some releases). Personally, i would suggest downloading from cs.rin, and that way you dont need to install, just create a wineprefox and copy over the game files inside.
I have heard of cs.rin but don’t really know how to get started with it sadly.
