skill issue
Did you talk to anyone else about how to solve it?
Consult any forums etc.
Linux is community based.
--
Also, 'Bye Felicia!'
/s jk, come back any time :]
As somebody who transitioned from Windows to Linux for business, I can confirm that Linux community is awesome and insanely helpful.
So, you didn't ask anything.
Also, Reddit's not the whole world, especially when it comes to the Linux community.
it is developed by nerds not product designers that want to maximize handholding
note: this post isnt a ragebait im serious this did happen.
just cause it happened doesn't make it not ragebait. posting "linux is garbage" to a linux forum, when your problem wasn't even really a linux problem is very much rage bait.
This ice cream shop is trash! Because I took a chocolate and cream cone and ran away without paying, and when I was outside I tripped over my shoelace and my ice cone ended up in a puddle where a dog was pissing. 0/10 would never go that shop again.
It honestly reads like this 🤣
That was a lot of words to say “I couldn’t get it to work.”
So you were using a cracked version of the game? Not surprised you had difficulty
If you bought the game, all you would have to do is click install and Steam would have done all of the setup for you. If you pirate, then you have to do that work yourself. It's not particularly difficult, but it takes more than just double clicking on an exe file.
It isn't much to ask for a game built for one operating system to work perfectly on a completely, fundamentally different operating system, by means of the vastly complex and enormous work of thousands of people, which they donated to the world so that you can access it for free?
when that os claims perfect working with the same game of steam verison.
But you aren't using the steam version, you are using a cracked version..
why does it not work if the drm is stripped?
It would most likely work if you set it up correctly, but of course, you somehow expect it to run by sheer magic.. Do you think the person who cracked it/removed drm just got it working by means of magic without any effort?
The only reason why it works on windows is because someone else did the effort for you.
I get some cracked games on Linux by creating a bottle with Fit-Girl inside. However, you have to configure the bottle correctly from the start; sometimes changing the bottle settings can break things on the bottle itself. It’s not as straightforward as downloading a game from Steam, I’ll admit, but it’s not that difficult either. Obviously, you might run into some issues the first time around, but once you get the hang of it, it’s pretty simple.
You're young and an iPad baby. Not surprised you whine about needing skill
You got scammed? Oh no. How much money did Ubuntu take from you?
You are seriously complaining that your pirated cracked game is not running on Linux?
Tone it down, adding exaggerated details to your ragebait makes it unbelievable.
Yes because the poor people would.. pay for windows instead of have a free OS?
if linux aims for just legit users then forget ever having userbase from africa,south america. or any place generally poor.
Linux is a kernel that lets software talk to hardware. It doesn't care about where it's users are from or what their financial situation is.
This is not Linux's problem.
Sorry that Cyberpunk didn't work for you, that's understandably frustrating. I hope you get what you want from your return to Windows.
If you ever decide to try Linux again, you might benefit from asking people for assistance before you get so frustrated. I've personally played Cyberpunk for hundreds of hours on Linux, so I know it certainly does work. There's probably something going on with that specific repack you're using that makes it weird to get running.
Did you tried other version besides Dodi before hand? Like fitG or idk cs.rin version if it exist?
Seems a lot of hassle if you didnt dual boot than trying different version.
But yeah, there's no "it just works" on Linux fot every person since it's always case by case basis
I think Bazzite specifically targeted gaming if you wanna try again.
Repacks for me have been very hit or miss with Wine, but the issues usually start from the installer and not the game itself.
Understandable, I suspect as much.
So much to unpack here. Like why you think a free open source OS owes you personally anything especially when you're doing nothing but complain in a small forum.
Why do you hate freeloading virus-loving mouth-breathers so much? screams into the air: Why won't anyone think of the freeloading virus-loving mouth-breathers?! /s
And yet you're still here.
This is 100% user error. I've played that very game in Linux, it works fine.
I've got repacked games to work just fine.
the thing is, with linux, your africa doesn't need to crack "stuff". Tools they need are free.
Are you from Africa or are you using the old clichés to justify your lack of understanding?
Both, in a try-before-you-buy way. I did the same with Scorn which also worked perfectly.
As the other guy said, skill issue. Getting mad that you aren't good at this doesn't make you somehow otherwise. Do better or just go away, nobody owes you anything.
even if you had a bad experience, why try to persuade others? why do you give a shit what other people use? why shill for microslop?
skill issue
Its like putting an Audi engine inside a Ford and complaining that making it run is hard.
Complain with cyberpunk developers that didn't developed also for Linux, but only for windows instead.
I find it incredible that you can even try to run a windows game on linux.
Try run a native android app on iphone or vice versa...
OP is also complaining because he is trying to pirate the game. The process of stripping the DRM is better documented on Windows than on Linux, and somehow it's the fault of the Linux ecosystem.
I think you are just ragebaiting anyway
"Edge-lord can't get stolen game to work on linux while legit copies work just fine. Blames Linux."
-- Fixed your headline.
Isn't Cyberpunk DRM free? Why do you need a repack? If the bit that didn't work was the repack's self-extractor/installer I guess that would make a little more sense.
Did you try to run it from an NTFS-drive? Because I‘ve had trouble with that too. Once I moved everything to my ext4-drive, the games I had trouble with, worked
I've been playing cyberpunk ages on my Linux pc. Installed and worked first time and plays perfectly. Think it's just a user error or lack of skill. But enjoy windows anyway, why did you even bother trying Linux? Windows is great for the average user who just wants to turn it on and not think about it.
lol skill issue but the skill floor is so low you'd need to be Hermes Conrad to limbo under it like you did. Impressive.
Brother. You tried to run a repack that was likely developed and tested on Windows, and then got pissed when it didn't work. This is Linux, you downloaded it for free... there is no megacorp surveilling your system and trying to fix every single gaming edge case so that you stay happy while they shove ads in your face.
If you just want gaming and want to stick your head in the sand and stay completely unaware of how your OS works and what it is doing, absolutely stay on Windows. If you have the slightest care about your privacy, desire to learn about how a computer OS works, or are curious about free software, then join us... there are tons of people out there willing to help you.
And I'm sure there is a way to get that repack working... it may just take some research and actually asking questions in the community.
There’s lots of people, myself included, that would help you out. The only games I can’t play on my Linux install are games with invasive anti cheat. That goes for steam games, games with their own launchers, and games from DRM free installers like from GoG and…other places. Cyberpunk specifically I have a lot of time in running perfectly across 4 different Linux distros. It can definitely work for you too.
Valve's testing indicates that Cyberpunk 2077 is Verified on Steam Deck. This game is fully functional on Steam Deck, and works great with the built-in controls and display.
Use whatever works for you, man. An OS is just a tool, there's no point in struggling with it. I don't generally play games (apart from some UT'99 match), so Linux suits me perfectly. It's ok to use something else, if your use case is different.
I've made a guide for repacks: https://slrpnk.net/post/12840703
Different OS, different apps. When you move to another OS, you move your apps too, not expecting to run everything Windows does. If you really want to play that game, stay on Windows. Although you probably did something wrong, since others can play cyberpunk fine (maybe not the cracked version though, or a special pack for it -- just vanilla game).
Works fine through Steam
Yes it does. Windows always spiked temps linux not so much
I would suggest first doing the basics first before diving in and trying to run cracked games. I had trouble and had to go through multiple troubleshooting steps to get DODI repacks working on windows even. the difference is there are a ton of resources of people spending hours and hours fixing broken cracked games on windows (dodi Hogwarts legacy has like 100+ threads on reddit with fixes) where Linux just isn't popular enough yet to have a big community find fixes for your cracked games for you already and the fixes from windows often don't work.
First try browsers, steam games, streamimg, and light use while dual booting, you can still keep windows for the games that don't work on Linux.
It doesn't have to be all or nothing. Just take it one step at a time. You are trying to reduce tracking. That is going to be 90% internet browsing, so if you already switch to Linux for that, you are much of the way there.
I hope this rant helped you vent your frustration.
Admittedly, "You can game on Linux without issues" is bending the truth. That's limited to Steam. Outside of Steam games, especially with cracked and modded games, you're in "might work" and "might need various amounts of fiddling" territory.
That doesn't mean Linux is trash, it's an awesome OS, just not the right one for your use case.
Ubuntu lol.
Try a gaming-focused distro with more focus on preconfigured drivers. I think you need it.
Pop!_OS if you wanna use Ubuntu, CachyOS if you want your shit to be fast.
Well, you can ask for a refund. Oh wait, it's free.
Locking post. I wish someone had reported this rage-bait[^1] post sooner.
[^1]: Claiming not to be rage-bait isn’t a magic spell.
Repacked version here, runs faultlessly with very little effort on my behalf.
Skill issue.
This can only be a bit or you are a little kid. Entire week posting some dumb questions on the community instead of just going to the point to try getting help installing things.
Your post about piracy in Linux there's a lot of comments saying that not all repacks works and you dipshit couldn't read? You want that shit so much? Just repack on windows and copy the gamefolder to your Linux partition and run the game after cracked with proton.
Yeah I’m curious too because I have played Cyberpunk without any issue on both the steam deck and bazzite for a long time, cyberpunk even has a graphics preset for the deck so I’m not sure what’s happening either.
EDIT: Even using both AMD and NVIDIA graphics cards (before the latest nvidia driver version debacle though)
Mine works flawlessly with Nvidia. Try harder with your shit posting.
I can play cyberpunk fine with steam on Linux but I choose not to because it's a boring shallow game unfortunately
Install Bazzite and try again. Not only does it work, you don't need to do anything for it to work.
I've got a bunch of dodi games and they work fine.
Use Nobara, and install official games.
You’re 100% right and I’m glad you’ve made this post.
Haters will vote you down but they aren’t running the dodi cbp repack.
