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).
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.

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?
Can we play over LAN, tho?
Yeah there’s no change in that regard. They’re not making the servers closed down any time soon
Haven’t played it yet but if it’s anything like go I would go back to cs 1.6 too
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.

You should try with your CPU and GPU
I think you’re right about this. especially since I have some data left in my plan.

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!
They didn’t disable it, you can roll back to csgo in the steam options
Hmmm, I definitely have to look into that!
Some of the community servers are still running on the legacy CSGO thing
Wait, what happened to CS:GO?
I only tried playing it twice, but it really didn’t like running on my computer.
Counter Strike 2 replaced it.
Well, the OP is not trying to play CSGO.
True!
“oh oH OH, I’m gonna STAB ya”
Cs 1.6 has native version for linux. Why are you trying to play it with WINE?
umm, how do I pirate it? I mean I didn’t buy it (although I’m playing it since 6y old me 2006)
You can find them on zamunda or torrminator
You can also play it in a browser now.
it lags as hell
As cool as it is, that version is filled with microtransactions and doesn’t access the same servers
I’d ask the friendly folk over at !gaming@beehaw.org. I don’t feel like piracy communities are the right place to ask Linux gaming questions.

I don’t think it’s a piracy request. The crack works, but the game runs poorly.
DOOR STUCK!!!
We’re DEAD!!
Have you tried jc141’s package of it?

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

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

A magnet is hyperlink, and if you link it, it’s a direct link.
I’m not here to argue semantics, I’m just going off what the instance admin posted, specially section 3;
If dbzer0 has started getting into trouble for it, I’ll gladly delete my comment.
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.
I prefer things be talked publicly, because piracy community is small and tightknit as it is.
