I know this is not how dbzer0 works, but can you help me get cs 1.6 working on my linux system ? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I downloaded the game from soft32 (this file used to work on the old days). I installed both WINE and Lutris, but the game runs like sh**t. I get .NET and Vulkan errors from Lutris&WINE. Can you give me a newbie friendly guide for the right way? I'm tired of scrapping the web and it doesn't help that I have limited data.
My system:
Device: HP 15 Notebook PC i5-4210U
OS: Ubuntu MATE (basically ubuntu 22.04)
GPU: Intel® HD Graphics 4400 (integrated) & Nvidia GeForce 820M (I'm not even sure which of them I'm using).

I'd ask the friendly folk over at [email protected]. I don't feel like piracy communities are the right place to ask Linux gaming questions.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

well, this is a Linux piracy question. I had the idea of asking over at r/piratedgames, but their mod has black belt on rule-fu. Do gaming@beehaw allow this kind of discussion/request, I mean piracy request

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I don't think it's a piracy request. The crack works, but the game runs poorly.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 year ago (5 children)

I know you are asking for cs 1.6, but do you know counter strike 2 is free on steam and have compatibility with Linux?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

LooL didn't know this. But anyway my PC is considered Potato, and I'm posting to get a safe example guide for Linux Piracy.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This is the MINIMUM: OS: Ubuntu 20.04 Processor: 4 hardware CPU threads - Intel® Core™ i5 750 or higher Memory: 8 GB RAM Graphics: AMD GCN+ or NVIDIA Kepler+ with up-to-date Vulkan drivers. Support for VK_EXT_graphics_pipeline_library highly recommended. Storage: 85 GB available space Sound Card: Highly recommended

You should try with your CPU and GPU

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I think you're right about this. especially since I have some data left in my plan.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (3 children)

It's still a little buggy and lacks many of the CSGO features, I just wish they didn't disable CSGO that early, that worked great!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

lacks many of the CSGO features,

Well, the OP is not trying to play CSGO.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

True!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They didn't disable it, you can roll back to csgo in the steam options

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Hmmm, I definitely have to look into that!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wait, what happened to CS:GO?

I only tried playing it twice, but it really didn't like running on my computer.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Counter Strike 2 replaced it.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Maybe it's better now but cs2 had like 50% worse FPS on Linux compared to Windows on launch. Mesa driver users also reported smokes being invisible sometimes. It'll probably get ironed out though if it hasn't already

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Can we play over LAN, tho?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Haven't played it yet but if it's anything like go I would go back to cs 1.6 too

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Cs 1.6 has native version for linux. Why are you trying to play it with WINE?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

You can also play it in a browser now.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

it lags as hell

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

As cool as it is, that version is filled with microtransactions and doesn't access the same servers

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

umm, how do I pirate it? I mean I didn't buy it (although I'm playing it since 6y old me 2006)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

You can find them on zamunda or torrminator

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

I get errors...

Post them as top level comments on this post

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Have you tried jc141's package of it?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Seems legit, but don't provide direct links (as tempting as it is).

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

It isn't a direct link, it's a link to a page where you can download a torrent file or get a magnet link. I thought this was allowed in this community? Maybe things have changed, in which case I'd gladly delete my comment.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

A magnet is hyperlink, and if you link it, it's a direct link.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm not here to argue semantics, I'm just going off what the instance admin posted, specially section 3;

Magnet Links and links to Torrent files are OK, unless we start getting into trouble for it.

If dbzer0 has started getting into trouble for it, I'll gladly delete my comment.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I agree. That's the point, though. It's just helps keep them out of trouble. It's better to go through DM's. It's not a rule though, I agree.

[–] [email protected] -4 points 1 year ago

I prefer things be talked publicly, because piracy community is small and tightknit as it is.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Thank you! I watched a video recommending them but was afraid if they are actually a trusted resource, That and if their guide would break my system if they are not. They are not in the megathread, but mentioned on r/piratedgames as JohnCena141 being safe.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

You don't need to install wine. In Lutris you should set the wine version to the latest proton-ge (that's a wine fork for gaming). And also did you install the game via Lutris or wine? You should install it via lutris. I just did it once with a pirated game (NFS Most Wanted) and it worked just fine.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

DOOR STUCK!!!
