I downloaded the game from soft32 (this file used to work on the old days). I installed both WINE and Lutris, but the game runs like sh**t. I get .NET and Vulkan errors from Lutris&WINE. Can you give me a newbie friendly guide for the right way? I’m tired of scrapping the web and it doesn’t help that I have limited data.
My system:
Device: HP 15 Notebook PC i5-4210U
OS: Ubuntu MATE (basically ubuntu 22.04)
GPU: Intel® HD Graphics 4400 (integrated) & Nvidia GeForce 820M (I’m not even sure which of them I’m using).

    I’d ask the friendly folk over at !gaming@beehaw.org. I don’t feel like piracy communities are the right place to ask Linux gaming questions.

      well, this is a Linux piracy question. I had the idea of asking over at r/piratedgames, but their mod has black belt on rule-fu. Do gaming@beehaw allow this kind of discussion/request, I mean piracy request

        I don’t think it’s a piracy request. The crack works, but the game runs poorly.

    You don’t need to install wine. In Lutris you should set the wine version to the latest proton-ge (that’s a wine fork for gaming). And also did you install the game via Lutris or wine? You should install it via lutris. I just did it once with a pirated game (NFS Most Wanted) and it worked just fine.

      Seems legit, but don’t provide direct links (as tempting as it is).

        It isn’t a direct link, it’s a link to a page where you can download a torrent file or get a magnet link. I thought this was allowed in this community? Maybe things have changed, in which case I’d gladly delete my comment.

          A magnet is hyperlink, and if you link it, it’s a direct link.

            I’m not here to argue semantics, I’m just going off what the instance admin posted, specially section 3;

            Magnet Links and links to Torrent files are OK, unless we start getting into trouble for it.

            If dbzer0 has started getting into trouble for it, I’ll gladly delete my comment.

              I agree. That’s the point, though. It’s just helps keep them out of trouble. It’s better to go through DM’s. It’s not a rule though, I agree.

      Thank you! I watched a video recommending them but was afraid if they are actually a trusted resource, That and if their guide would break my system if they are not. They are not in the megathread, but mentioned on r/piratedgames as JohnCena141 being safe.
