So I tried to do this today and the game wouldn't launch. Logs show that steamapi_init() failed so it looks like it is because of the steam emulator the game uses. I looked around and apparently one could use the WINEDLLOVERRIDES variable to make proton use the dll that the game provided rather than something that Steam has. (Like setting it to
steamapi_64=n.) But even that did not work. Have you any experience with this?Make sure the cracked game works on your PC. Make sure you're launching the game in compatibility mode with proton or whichever. 95% of the games I've tried have worked straight out of the box like that. For the rare ones that didn't I had to download the Goldberg steam emulator and put that in the game folder. I hope that helps with your issue.
Thanks.
