i tried to run cyberpunk for hours and didnt work. im back to windows 11 where stuff work

i have dodi repack of cyberpunk,i tested it on ubuntu after i installed the drivers for my gpu. i used bottles,terminal wine,lutris,steam add non steam app with proton,heroic. and none of them worked. only wine did and the screen was black but sound was there so still useless. i searched for hours and tried everything nothing worked.

i just nuked the ubuntu parition and bios place gone back to windows. launched the game and it worked fine.

i will never use linux again until the gaming is fixed.

people that read linux is good for gaming,dont get scammed like i did. stay on windows if you care about gaming.

note: this post isnt a ragebait im serious this did happen.

    Sorry that Cyberpunk didn’t work for you, that’s understandably frustrating. I hope you get what you want from your return to Windows.

    If you ever decide to try Linux again, you might benefit from asking people for assistance before you get so frustrated. I’ve personally played Cyberpunk for hundreds of hours on Linux, so I know it certainly does work. There’s probably something going on with that specific repack you’re using that makes it weird to get running.

      i searched for many reddit threads for this exact dodi repack and found almost no one got it to work. while it works normally on windows. trust me i did search for help.

        Did you tried other version besides Dodi before hand? Like fitG or idk cs.rin version if it exist?

        Seems a lot of hassle if you didnt dual boot than trying different version.

        But yeah, there’s no “it just works” on Linux fot every person since it’s always case by case basis

        I think Bazzite specifically targeted gaming if you wanna try again.
