I wish every game was like that AND the game saves were always in the directory.
I want to download, play, backup after I’m done without needing to manage all the save locations.
That can easily accomplished by running each game in its own WINEPREFIX.
Technically, when installing a fitgirl rip, it is doing an extraction only, just with some extra UI elements and other features like installing dependencies.
With the added complexity that it can fail for reasons I don’t comprehed. If it was just extracting that wouldn’t fail under any circumstances.
It’s your RAM bro

The lovecraftian installer
The only times it has failed on me was because either the storage device or RAM were faulty. It’s definitely worth it to check both for errors every once in a while, as financially devastating as it is to replace either.
why does it require admin rights to run, then? right at startup, and if you try to run it with a tool that fakes admin rights, it will crash (unlike other installers it can successfully make run)
They need admin privileges to write to directories such as
C:/Program Files, if I had to guess - I didn’t need privileges when installing Halo: Combatevolved Butworse on Linuxbut I always installed them on my other drive where it did not need such privileges. it works on linux because here everything runs as admin (in the wine world, it’s not admin in the linux world)
It’s not that Wine runs things as an administrator, Wine emulates the Windows virtual filesystem by creating and using a directory in your home (by default), which means you own the entire thing;
with Windows, if you have a separate drive and *you* create a folder in it, even if you call it “Program Files”, it’s going to let you access it freely because it’s yours.
However, the existingProgram Filesfolder in your OS drive (C:by default, idk if you can change its volume letter) is owned by… I have no idea, actually, but it’s a system account, not yours.The last paragraph may be inaccurate, I was much less tech literate when I was still daily-driving Windows.

yes, it is that

I was always installing fitgirl games to my other drive, where I owned the entire thing. I know because I remember I set the ownership.

I have never installed fitgirl games there.
I’ll trust you on the Windows side of things, but you ought to explain how Wine is running things with admin privileges
You are misunderstanding him. Wine has not implemented any UAC dialogue like windows; when the application requests it, it just gets “elevated” as if the user had pressed that UAC button under windows; but Wine does this automatically, as there is no need for something like that.
As stated in comment 50, applications requiring unelevated privileges can be run directly, without the need for “runas” or any similar manual intervention.
Lol, where is “download from steam, hit play”?
it would have a few step more: go to work, work for 5 h, get your minimum wage 60$, enter you credit card info, pay steam
Hahahahhaha $12 minimum wage, you’re a riot.
denuvo won’t run on operating systems that don’t try to fuck you over, and makes the game slower on windows
Denuvo runs on Linux.
I wouldn’t pollute my Linux OS with that shit.

International phonetics??
Dropping vowels and substituting a few characters does not mean you are using IPA.
You ok?
I’m. u?
Erm, acþually, t’w’re refering t’t’ct þat y’ deliberately write in a barely parseable manner

What are those symbols?
That’s ancient ‘Moronic’. Like Ancient Greek, but written by morons.
ð is edh, it represents a voiced dental fricative, like the “th” in “them”
ŋ is eng, it represents a voiced velar nasal, like the “ng” in “sing”
ç is a “c with cedilla” or “broken c”. It’s used in several languages with different readings, but they seem to be using it as a voiceless aveolar affricate, like the “ch” in “match”
ð is a thorn, it means “th”.
No idea about the others.
That isn’t a thorn. A thorn is þ.
Edit: I looked it up and ð is eth.
