hello fellow sailers , hope you're having a nice day , a few months back i switched to arch linux because my computer has good ram but not that good gpu , but now i would like to play some og games like portal 2 , portal 1 , inscryption etc from fitgirl repacks and i have scoured through many guides but nothing just works , too complicated. can't there be a simple guide with preferably images or something like that (like a website /blog maybe?) I would really appreciate that since many of my friends may like to join linux ship but they are pirates like me as well who wouldn't be able to play games on linux. #Fitgirl-repacks,#Linux

I've been using lutris for fitgirl and dodi to install and play games

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 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?

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.
