I apologize if this is already answered somewhere but I’m curious what exactly a fitgirl repack is? I know it’s a pirated version of a game but like is it just an installer or something? And if you imported the game into steam for example can you be “banned” or VAT (idr the term)

    It’s a cracked version of the game that has been heavily compressed to reduce download size. This is why the installer will eat a lot of CPU resources during installation. While you probably won’t be banned, I would generally avoid playing these games through steam as a precaution. Usually multiplayer doesn’t work normally anyways.

      Playing through steam might be useful for linux users, because proton is on there (but idk if it works with self-added games).

        It works amazingly well for me, I install fog games with proton and it just works.

        I tried with lutris and bottles but I was always having issues.

            I’m sure they work for some but if you check online (Reddit for example), there’s loads of issues and the general recommendation is against them because of the issues

              That’s because you get an error a lot of times if you use proton-ge or wine-ge in lutris or bottles when installing. The trick is to use system wine for installing and then switching to wine-ge when the install is done.

                I’ve just had poor success with any wine, it just has that error. Others might be more successful but it’s definitely a common problem, which is why I think DODI repacks are preferred
