There is a torrent floating around but availability is 20.9% at the moment.

They’ve been around for a while. They often release Linux and Mac games, and I think they might be affiliated with Razor.

Well, you do you, but I’d give that a go just to remove it from the list of possible problems.

For my needs, I use qBittorrent with jackett. Both excellent tools!

Have you opened a port in your firewall?

Someone taking the title of this community literally ;-)

Yes, rutracker is safe. In particular Kron4ek is a trusted repacker. You can also download games from certain IRC channels which is much quicker but requires some setting up.

EMPRESS is actually Voksi in a dress.

They cracked Denuvo on Fe recently. Granted that is a Unity3D game so the modular approach makes it slightly easier to crack.

Rutracker has a forum dedicated to Windows games pre-packed with a wine runner. EDIT: Nothing to do with Fitgirl.

I’m not sure what problem you are having when you say ‘nothing works’. I’ve installed several FG repacks over the years including one only a couple of weeks ago. Open and terminal and cd to the directory that contains your FG download, then:

1. export WINEPREFIX=$HOME/.wine_gamename
2. winetricks -q dxvk xact xinput vcrun2022 win10
3. winetricks -q vkd3d corefonts win10
4. wine setup.exe
5. cd installdirectory
6. wine gamename.exe

I separate the winetricks lines as sometimes winetricks gets overwhelmed if you call two many functions. I can assure you that this does work, though the repacks sometimes take ages to install. Personally I use rutracker as my source as the games come pre-made with wine.

Yes, I still use IRC for things like games. You can often get a much faster download than via other means.

The .to domain seems to work for me.

That’s why we had a market for region-free DVD players!
