Just found this place, I dig it! I do gamedev on my Steam Deck, and I'm also a systems engineer. I have a repository of all sorts of Arch based things for pirates that are somewhat specific to Steam Deck ('cause Valve does some weird shit in the name of convenience, but I get it, people don't buy this machine to be a laptop like I did).
Any who, now that I've found this place I may put together more of my scripts into an easier to digest format and throw it up on Codeberg or something.
For now, I'll point you all towards a tool that I found on GitHub. I have a fork that I wrapped with a bash script to make life easier when it comes to grabbing FitGirl repacks. I've made a Pull Request to get it merged into the original repository, but my fork will probably be kept up to date more frequently (I don't know the original maintainer).
My Fork: https://github.com/madamegaymes/Fucking-Fast-Multi-Downloader
Original tool: https://github.com/JOY6IX9INE/Fucking-Fast-Multi-Downloader
My PR: https://github.com/JOY6IX9INE/Fucking-Fast-Multi-Downloader/pull/2
What does the tool do?
- You give it a FitGirl game URL (or several URLs)
- It scrapes all the fuckingfast direct download links
- Passes all that to python to download each part automatically
It probably isn't bug-free, I made these tweaks for myself and just today decided to try to get it merged into the original tool. I have ideas on how to make the tool much, much easier to use, so feel free to let me know if you run into issues!
The README should have the details, but I can add more if something is not clear. I'm not sure what the average level of tech savvy is in this community yet.
Hmmm. I have actually encountered that before with Lutris and creating prefixes, I'm trying to remember how I rectified it. It may have something to do with Flatpak sandboxing, but I don't see any settings that I have manually changed for Lutris.
Here's my suggestion for now, until I can investigate further:
/home/deck/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/, you can sort byModifiedin Dolphin to find it if you need to, but you shouldn't need to do anything with it./home/deck/Games. This is the strategy that Steam uses for legit games, separating the prefix from the game files. Note: your home folder is usually under theZ:orD:drive when getting to it from within the prefix.targetto the path of the decompressed game EXE (e.g.,/home/deck/Games/Cyberpunk/Cyberpunk.exe)start into the folder that contains the decompressed EXE (e.g.,/home/deck/Games/Cyberpunk)"when you put them into SteamFrom there you should be able to play, assuming that steps 3+4 complete successfully. You'll just have to manually add game images, but you can follow my comment on this post for a way to do it somewhat easily.
You may also want to install ProtonTricks from Discover. This way, in the future, you can open ProtonTricks, select your Cyberpunk prefix, and then run any other FitGirl installers that way.
Sorry that Lutris ended up being weird! I would've just pointed you in this direction the first time if I had remembered the thing about the prefixes not working some times.
I had the same thought that the Flatpak sandboxing might be in play, because I found that when I tried to pick the /home/lutrisprefixes folder with the file picker, it turned it into /run/ and that path wasn't what I expected. Definitely seems some kind of permissions issue, because it seems like it is working if I use /home/deck/lutrisprefixes/Cyberpunk as my prefixdir, maybe its not a big deal that it is under /home/deck?
Nah, not a big deal at all. I have many prefixes in my home directory (and all of Steam's prefixes are created in your home directory)
