Solrac, in What is your last pirated game ?

Last Game I pirated was the Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster Collection, and Kingdom Hearts The Complete Collection, after that.

If I installed a GOG games to my linux desktop, can I just copy the install folder to my steamdeck or will I need to run the installer again on the steamdeck?

007ace,

So far as I know, it would be a proton instance. If you copied that whole thing over you should be fine. Then just add to steam and tell it to use compatibility.

Yeah but the installers are slooooow

While usually true, this isn’t always the case. Some games have differences in code between the versions released. Modders especially will butt up against this from time to time.

007ace,

As a pirate, running on steamdeck, using proton… Mods aren’t usually where I’m going. Haha.

Have you tried OpenSnitch

gr522x,

Thanks for the suggestion, I think the main issue is doing it on the Steam Deck. On a native Linux machine it’s easier. I don’t see a way to install OpenSnitch on the Steam Deck with the read-only file system and whatnot. I think a pi-hole and block DNS might be easier than trying to mess with SteamOS.

You can’t install applications on steam deck and there is a read only file system??? Whaaaatttt???

Edit: I asked a friend that has a steam deck, he explained you can easily disable the read-only system, do whatever you want on a Linux system and reenable it afterwards.

gr522x,

From what i understand any changes to the system outside of the userland will be overwritten after a SteamOS update.

No you can install them persistent and update your OS

shindig1457,

That is correct. The best case is to write a script to make your desired changes, and then run it after each system update.
My own use-case is that I have a NFS mount-point for my Steam Deck to use extra storage on my NAS. After the first time I figured out how to get it mounted, I made a script to disable read-only filesystem, make all the changes to the system, and then re-enable read-only filesystem. After every system update, I just run that script once.

gr522x,

Thanks for the reply!

I can find my way around bash, but the most advanced script I’ve personally authored it probably “Hello World.” Would you be willing to share the script from pastebin or github? IDK, I guess you could copy and paste it posted on Lemmy.

I think I need to do exactly what you recommended, but I may need some help setting it up. So are an update, you simply run the script to get the system changes re-applied?

shindig1457,

This is the script. /home/deck/scripts/fstab contains my customised fstab file. Yes, after an update, I just run this script once.


<span style="color:#323232;">#!/bin/bash

gr522x,

Thank you. I really appreciate you sharing, this helps a lot!

Doesn’t flatpak use bubblewrap for it’s permissions? Otherwise would those programs work in distrobox?

gr522x,

I read an earlier Lemmy post where someone suggested setting the WINE proxy settings to some invalid setting for the game as a work around. I need to test it and see if it works.

Uh, under Windows use NetLimiter. Under Linux? Try AppArmor based policies, otherwise… No idea.

gr522x,

Hmm, I wonder if SteamOS has AppArmor by default so I can tinker with it.

IIRC it is based on Ubuntu, so yes.

kib48, in What is your last pirated game ?

Transformers: Devastation

great game for the deck, sad it was delisted

IcyTable208X, in What is your last pirated game ?

I got a giant ass list so I don’t even remember off hand haha. Eyeballing either Armored Core or Baldurs Gate but space is a bit too limited to snag either currently so that would have to be a “some other time” deal.

Diurnambule,

Yeah I installed Baldur Gate 3 took some management to be able to get it and uncompress it. I even asked myself if I have to use another computer.

IzyaKatzmann, in How I pirate games on SteamDeck

What sorts of games have you been playing?

Diurnambule,

Story driven games. Likes uncharted, ForSpoken recently. I enjoyed mad max a lot. Mostly non fps ones. I am still too used to the mouse to aim. I have horizon in my Todo list. I pl What do you play ?

IzyaKatzmann,

Pathologic 2 at the moment. It’s getting kinda hard and I’m not saving many people… Taking a break from it while I muster up some more courage. I haven’t felt too attached to characters in a game like this since like Mass Effect 2 or like one of those newer cRPG games.

I also stream Elden Ring from my PC, I did a strength build before and then a mage build, trying dex this time around.

Diurnambule,

Hum will try pathologic 2 seem a o great game. I really enjoyed mass effect 2… Never tried elder ring I don’t like dark souls like games. I may made an error by thinking that it a dark souls like game.

NightAuthor, in How I pirate games on SteamDeck

Holy fucking carpet bomb Batman

Diurnambule,

I don’t know what I expected as reaction but that wasn’t that. 😂

ChefKalash, in No steam deck pirates?

I think we’re too busy getting emudeck and pirated games running
