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.

just cause it happened doesn’t make it not ragebait. posting “linux is garbage” to a linux forum, when your problem wasn’t even really a linux problem is very much rage bait.
You got scammed? Oh no. How much money did Ubuntu take from you?
I’ve been playing cyberpunk ages on my Linux pc. Installed and worked first time and plays perfectly. Think it’s just a user error or lack of skill. But enjoy windows anyway, why did you even bother trying Linux? Windows is great for the average user who just wants to turn it on and not think about it.
skill issue
There’s lots of people, myself included, that would help you out. The only games I can’t play on my Linux install are games with invasive anti cheat. That goes for steam games, games with their own launchers, and games from DRM free installers like from GoG and…other places. Cyberpunk specifically I have a lot of time in running perfectly across 4 different Linux distros. It can definitely work for you too.
That was a lot of words to say “I couldn’t get it to work.”
skill issue
it is i agree. but why does it even need that much skill is the real question
Did you talk to anyone else about how to solve it?
Consult any forums etc.
Linux is community based.
–
Also, ‘Bye Felicia!’
/s jk, come back any time :]
As somebody who transitioned from Windows to Linux for business, I can confirm that Linux community is awesome and insanely helpful.
i did see 10 or more reddit threads for this yes none of them worked
So, you didn’t ask anything.
Also, Reddit’s not the whole world, especially when it comes to the Linux community.
it is developed by nerds not product designers that want to maximize handholding
Use whatever works for you, man. An OS is just a tool, there’s no point in struggling with it. I don’t generally play games (apart from some UT’99 match), so Linux suits me perfectly. It’s ok to use something else, if your use case is different.
You’re young and an iPad baby. Not surprised you whine about needing skill
im not. i even rooted my phone before and solved the intergity bs. so i can search for stuff and apply it. linux is just that hard
So you were using a cracked version of the game? Not surprised you had difficulty
on windows it works perfectly. it isnt much to ask for this game to work on linux. knowing those are same game files just stripped of steam drm.
If you bought the game, all you would have to do is click install and Steam would have done all of the setup for you. If you pirate, then you have to do that work yourself. It’s not particularly difficult, but it takes more than just double clicking on an exe file.
It isn’t much to ask for a game built for one operating system to work perfectly on a completely, fundamentally different operating system, by means of the vastly complex and enormous work of thousands of people, which they donated to the world so that you can access it for free?
it isnt much yes. when that os claims perfect working with the same game of steam verison. why does it not work if the drm is stripped?
when that os claims perfect working with the same game of steam verison.
But you aren’t using the steam version, you are using a cracked version…
why does it not work if the drm is stripped?
It would most likely work if you set it up correctly, but of course, you somehow expect it to run by sheer magic… Do you think the person who cracked it/removed drm just got it working by means of magic without any effort?
The only reason why it works on windows is because someone else did the effort for you.
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.
i cant just do that i have a hard data cap.
Understandable, I suspect as much.
Its like putting an Audi engine inside a Ford and complaining that making it run is hard.
Complain with cyberpunk developers that didn’t developed also for Linux, but only for windows instead.
I find it incredible that you can even try to run a windows game on linux.
Try run a native android app on iphone or vice versa…
OP is also complaining because he is trying to pirate the game. The process of stripping the DRM is better documented on Windows than on Linux, and somehow it’s the fault of the Linux ecosystem.
i am yes.
I think you are just ragebaiting anyway
You are seriously complaining that your pirated cracked game is not running on Linux?
Tone it down, adding exaggerated details to your ragebait makes it unbelievable.
none of it is exaggerated. yes i am saying a pirated game doesnt work. if linux aims for just legit users then forget ever having userbase from africa,south america. or any place generally poor.
Yes because the poor people would… pay for windows instead of have a free OS?
they dont thats the point. they pirate windows too
Isn’t Cyberpunk DRM free? Why do you need a repack? If the bit that didn’t work was the repack’s self-extractor/installer I guess that would make a little more sense.
i had it already installed i tried to run it directly and it didnt work.
Did you try to run it from an NTFS-drive? Because I‘ve had trouble with that too. Once I moved everything to my ext4-drive, the games I had trouble with, worked
i’ve played pirated cyberpunk to completion on linux using the jc141 pack
pirated games definitely work, i have hundreds of them
