As a Linux user, I want to give you my sincerest thanks after going through so many broken unpackings from both FitGirl and Dodi

PSA, FitGirl and Dodi setups do fail during installations on Proton and Lutris Wine, but if you were to run them using vanilla Wine they (generally) work perfectly. Just open a terminal in the downloaded folder and enter wine ./setup.exe. Just make sure you set the correct installation folder (e.g. Z:/home/username/games)

Update: the latest FitGirl setup for Cyberpunk 2077 didn't work on either

The Dodi releases work almost every time on my Linux laptop using Bottles.

Please please prioritize Empress releases that usually work on Linux and on Windows, and a Windows user would not see the slightest difference.

I mean, if you go to Steamrip and download FH6 for SOME REASON it doesn’t run on Linux but on Windows, but if you download FH6 directly from the Empress Telegraph it works on both Linux and Windows, and Windows users don’t notice a difference

I'm not in the Empress telegram. Where can I find her releases? I genuinely haven't seen them much, and I mostly play old and/or indie titles because of lower resource usage.

It’s not misspelled, it’s literally the Telegraph (not Telegram) of Empress. Search the pinned messages in the Empress chat.

Nvm, I'll DM you the link.

It would be great some kind of sticker or banner by release that says "Steam Deck/Linux verified", maybe the users themselves are the ones who comment if it is compatible or not and the banner is added.

Do unpacked releases need external cracks?

Its normal scene releases but just unpacked (we also include UNPACKED.checksums to verify files was not modified), no rars, no zips, no isos.

Does scene release require crack? As i said its same releases as scene release, but just unpacked. So yes it require included crack.

I don’t get the point of sharing unpacked releases…

Without exaggeration I have had to download a zipped tar, that contained a rar split into ~100 parts, which contained an iso which contained a custom installer that extracted the compressed game files.

Seems to be overkill.

With an unpacked release I can pick and choose what to download, if it's on a newer patch level I can just point it at an existing folder and it will just download the difference. And of course I don't have to jump through the stupid installation hoops.

A lot of games will work on Linux but crash during unpacking.

I got in the habit of unpacking in a VM and transferring over after

Unless you do one of these fitgirl-level things, Linux should have proper and error-free support for conventional formats such as ZIPs 7Zs and ISOs

Thats pretty much the entire point of this, they stated these are all scene releases. So fitgirl et al etc.

For some masochistic reason they sometimes come rar'd, iso'd, and custom windows based unpacker which is all really unnecessary and creates more points of potential failure for the linux gamer.

LinuzRules releases have linux .sh based unpackers, but even those arent guaranteed to work and can get stuck. I'd much rather just get the complete uncompressed files.

Tl;dr Scene releases use unpackers which often fail and multiple levels of unnecessary compression.

Fitgirl repacks aren't scene releases, they're repacks. Actual untouched scene releases are usually fine on Linux.

Uncompress time is bigger than download time.
