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

[–] zaknenou@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 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.

[–] supervent@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago

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

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

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

[–] just_another_person@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

You can also play it in a browser now.

[–] Kyiro@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

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

[–] zaknenou@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago

it lags as hell

[–] zaknenou@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 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)

[–] mr_MADAFAKA@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 year ago

You can find them on zamunda or torrminator

[–] Evkob@lemmy.ca 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Have you tried jc141's package of it?

[–] Xanthrax@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] Evkob@lemmy.ca 0 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.

[–] Xanthrax@lemmy.world 0 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.

[–] Evkob@lemmy.ca 0 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.

[–] Xanthrax@lemmy.world 0 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.

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