What’s the best way to play pirated windows games on Linux?

Ever since I’ve migrated I stuck to emulation for game piracy cause it was pretty simple. Ive been trying to run some repacked games but I can’t get them to install properly.

I don’t see many people talk about this probably because most game pirates use windows if I had to guess.

    i tried many different cyberpunk 2077 repacks from dodi and fitgirl and none would finish installation with wine

      Try the jc141 repack. It worked for me. It’s a linux repack so I think their script handles the wine stuff.

        apparently his repacks are for arch, fedora and debian unstable. no setup provided for ububtu based, so that’s a nope then.

          Yes. You can make it work but it’s just too much work to support it. Gaming needs cutting edge releases.

          Check which version wine you are running. It could be the main problem.
