CODEX is defunct these days. I can't seem to find a valid source of X-Plane at all at the moment.

I've been sailing the high seas, or at least skirting the shores, since the late 1980s when my classmates and I were swapping BBC Micro software on 5¼" disks! Moved onto PC in 1990 and carried on. I even cracked a few games back in the day :-) These days I don't pirate so much, and I have quite a collection of legitimate music and software.

FitGirl only repacks; he doesn't defeat Denuvo. The only crackers within the last twelve months or so to crack Denuvo have been MKDEV and EMPRESS, both of whom are no longer active in the scene.

From a Linux user's point of view, Epic refuses to support Linux. They also refuse to support their own games using EAC on Linux (via Proton) despite EAC being Linux-compatible.

EDIT: Grammar.

I hope AirVPN can still stay in business. I also hope that other governments don't start getting ideas.

They've been around for a while. They often release Linux and Mac games, and I think they might be affiliated with Razor.

Quote from the article: “The inclusion of intrusive DRM softwares [sic] like Denuvo is a choice that yields an unfair punishment on the consumer,” Running With Scissors says. “Respect the consumer, make a game they want to play, and you will never feel the need to fight piracy. The gaming industry deserves a better future, fight for that.”

For my needs, I use qBittorrent with jackett. Both excellent tools!

They cracked Denuvo on Fe recently. Granted that is a Unity3D game so the modular approach makes it slightly easier to crack.

I'm not sure what problem you are having when you say 'nothing works'. I've installed several FG repacks over the years including one only a couple of weeks ago. Open and terminal and cd to the directory that contains your FG download, then:

  1. export WINEPREFIX=$HOME/.wine_gamename
  2. winetricks -q dxvk xact xinput vcrun2022 win10
  3. winetricks -q vkd3d corefonts win10
  4. wine setup.exe
  5. cd installdirectory
  6. wine gamename.exe

I separate the winetricks lines as sometimes winetricks gets overwhelmed if you call two many functions. I can assure you that this does work, though the repacks sometimes take ages to install. Personally I use rutracker as my source as the games come pre-made with wine.

This is where the argument that piracy is also preserving games stands up. Although, it begs the question why games developers do not properly archive their software.

That's why we had a market for region-free DVD players!
