help with Linux gaming
I would like some help with playing pirated and steam games on Linux. I am comfortable with Linux bit not a super god and English is not my best.
I have a duelboot with Linux on a small 125 gb sata SSD and Windows on a 1TB NVMe SSD. I have my games installed on a separate 2tb HDD (NTFS) and this works fine on Windows. But I want to play the same games that I have already installed on my HDD. All the games is installed using Windows. When using lutris I get a lot of "can't create file" errors but I can create files in the filemaneger in linux so I have read-write.
I have tried to search online and some say that heroic game launcher is better but that one spits out "program got a serious problem" error.
I use Pop 22.04 jammy AMD Ryzen 7 5700G with Radeon Graphics @ 16x 3.8GHz NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 16GB ram
i have tried Lutris and heroic. i got Age of mythology retold to launch but not read dead redemtion 2.
if you guys need more just ask, i am quite new to linux gaming :D
I can post logs in a moment but really happy if someone can help out a bit.
You're viewing a single thread.
install the games in linux or the paths will be wrong. there's no way around this. it's like moving a program's directory to another computer; it may have scattered files everywhere that it needs.
I find using Windows to install (on a third, shared drive) easier so YMMV.
This is what I whants to do also. I have 3 drives Linux, window and games
I have installed all the games with windows and now I can't start atleast red dead from dodi.
I use Bottles, which mostly works out of the box. Sometimes a game will require some fiddling though. I’ve used Lutris, Heroic and plain Wine, but Bottles works best for me on Fedora Silverblue.
Thx I will try getting used to things and see what is best solution for me😊
