How to play pirated games on Linux
Ғылым және технология
This is the quickest, most reliable, and most effective way I found to play games outside Steam on Linux, be it a pirated game, a DRM-free game, or any other types of games.
DISCLAIMER: this video is made purely for educational purposes, which does not include the incentive for piracy. This is merely a way to show the Linux community how to do something that they could do on Windows. I have over 250 games on Steam, I own multiple videogame consoles in which I bought dozens of games on each one of them. I also paid for the game I'm showcasing in this video.

Nice tutorial for something I will never use, ever ; ) ! Before this tutorial, I would have, hypothetically, tried to launch a game a game via Lutris, but I think it would probably not work as well. Of course, I wouldn't know, since I would never ever try anything like this, ever, obviously.
Free education is the primary human right.
what a great *educational* video, i am now going to *purchase* the game and play it

This is the only reason I've been avoiding moving to Linux, you have been very helpful...hrm i use arch btw
i play pirated games through lutris, literally is the same process that you do on windows when you pirate a game, except for the fact that you have even more options in lutris than in normal windows, and the best is that now lutris can use proton and proton ge officially so is even easier to pay all your pirated games lol
really good EDUCATIONAL video

I have a question, what about games with separate updates?
Worked just fine with Fallout 3
codec is probably that you chose regular proton rather than GE version.
Heroic look cool , i need to use it but do proton available for it?

Lutris is good if you want to install game from setup
Me who doesn't use Linux or has pirated a game in a long while... Hmmm interesting
ngl so far i just right clicked the executable and run it through the proton prefix of a game i finished already
It doesn't work on the flatpak version, because flatpak sandboxes the applications by default.

Hello. So, I switched to Linux - Ubuntu recently and am now trying to play some games. I have followed this tutorial, but when i try to launch the game, it starts to load and then automatically gets closed. This issue also exists in Lutris. If anyone knows about this, then please let me know.

Mas como jogar na versao Steam? exemplo: Elden Ring, com o mod online, como faz?
@m0r4ag
26 күн бұрын
Usually the _funny_ games don’t have online support. The official steam games can be launched using directly steam with very quick and easy setting, you should look for “enabling proton on linux”. For Elden Ring you have “gold” support which means should work, you can look for “ProtonDB” and search for the games you’re interested in, protondb is a list of games with rates on how well they work on linux. I don’t know about the mod usage.

In this case I think you should use Windows then. Depending on your setup, it also might be that you have something configured wrong on Linux.

Yeah, if you want the UNSTABLE lattest wine version, use wine-stagging (not recommended) Also make sure to add support for mono and gecko with packages: wine-mono and wine-gecko
