I don't think there's a guide for your specific use case, but it's essentially no different from running any other windows installer on Linux. You will have to set up Wine (a guide is on their website) and once that's done, it's basically just double-clicking the setup.exe.
If your download limits aren't capped by your ISP, I'd probably just grab the original Steam files and Goldberg's Steam emulator off cs dot rin dot ru slash forum and call it a day
What do you mean by just grab the original steam files mate?
Not sure what it's called, but there's a downloader that just pulls the files straight from Steam. If you don't own the game, Steam won't run it, but you already have the files and you can use a Steam DRM crack.
SteamCMD?
Maybe? I know SteamCMD is just the command-line version of their client. Does it require credentials to download?
Back in the day, there was a GUI tool that would just download any game from Steam, but I don't know if it's still a thing.
You have to login with your steam account, but yes, it lets you download pretty much anything, things that the normal Steam won't let you play because you haven't bought them or for other weird reasons.
Typical use for steamcmd is to force-download the Windows version of a game that the publisher insists can't be played with Proton. I've used it for example to force-download the Binding of Isaac, which works perfectly fine with Proton, but for some reason the game refused to install with regular Steam on Linux. After I downloaded it I could set the compatibility to Proton and it worked fine. 🤷
You can also use steamcmd to automate the installation of multiple games, for example after you reinstalled your PC, and so on.
If you want something to help you with the process, you might like to try using Lutris or Heroic Games Launcher. They allow you to install anything you want and set up wine prefixes automatically. Heroic Games uses Proton and all other versions of Wine. If you find that you prefer Lutris, you can get Proton to work in it (lots of instructions about it available on Lutris web site). Good luck! If you need help with linux, lemmy.zip has a great community called Linux Questions. They're very friendly and helpful over there. I know first-hand because I asked a question and got great answers.
I got the game working but the sound is not working (game : Inscryption)
That game has a native linux version. So, maybe find a copy of that?
Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/watch?v=gVuabEckMMA
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I'm open-source, check me out at GitHub.
Ok so this video does works , but now i dont have any sound in the game called inscryption Can you pls guide me with that it asked me to install directx but then it failed but the game still works but sound not coming
Consider that maybe it's the repack's bug then go to fitgirl's game page and seek for any similar problem and solution in comments
Will try to test this game later, maybe some dependencies are needed... Btw this game has native linux port, u can find it on torrminator or zamunda
I usually try different version of proton. The one I get most luck with is protonGE you can install it with ProtonUp-QT (from the store discovery)
That might just be an Inscryption/Wine compatibility problem. You should check maybe ProtonDB or WineHQ for the game to see if this is a known problem or if there is a particular Wine or Proton version you need to use or a particular library or setting that is needed to make sound work on Linux for the Windows version of this particular game.
