    Good stuff. Important for people who want to play the game but don’t want to give money to Bethesda and, by extension, their genocide-complicit parent company, Microsoft.

      The game was too memorable for me, dropped it quick. The same thing happened when I tried the Dead Space remaster.

      There’s $140 saved. I miss demos, well, besides the indie scene embracing them I mean.

    And if you know where to search, there is a Wine repack for Linux. I tested it on Debian testing – works.

      I don’t understand why I would need that. Can’t you just run any release through a normally installed version of wine?

        I’ve seen it usually works well.

        I believe you do have to change the slashes in the checksum files and run wine setup.exe in the folder, after that it should have a desktop shortcut just like on Windows. You should also be able to add it as installed game to Lutris.

        Take it with a grain of salt, I haven’t tried it myself, though.

        In most cases – no. Wine is far from being a reliable tool. Many programs demand this or that patch for Wine to work. And you surely don’t want to tinker with that.

          I’ve only had like 3 games from FitGirl not work fine installing with Lutris.

          2 of them needed some dependency like .NET installed first, and only one I could get working at all but the DODi version worked fine.

          Everyone kept telling me Wine sucks even before I switch to Linux. But I’ve had it work fine a lot more times than not, even for some old obscure software that barely works on Windows 10 anymore.

          Weird. I have yet to encounter a game that wine-ge couldn’t handle out of the box.

        Torrent. I don’t know why people act like it’s a secret. This isn’t a Signal chat with war plans bro.

        You can download pre installed from Anker games. Then just add it through wine or proton and you are good to go buddy!
