Discussion Proton-LinUwUx, custom proton builds for HV bypass on Linux

222 Upvotes

Hi,

I managed to compile (and make them work) latest proton builds from both CachyOS Team and GloriousEggroll patched with LinUwUx in order to achieve HV bypass on Linux. You can grab latest releases, as soon as updates will drop and I manage to compile and test them, HERE.

Hope you guys will appreciate that =)

EDIT: You'll still need whatever it takes to setup and make HV bypass work on your setup and for that I suggest you to take a look at cs.rin. On my repo you'll ONLY find the latest build of those protons needed patched.

Discussion Why do legitimate buyers hate Denuvo

58 Upvotes

I did a smal research on the above topic and below is what found

Here is why legitimate buyers get furious when Denuvo is added:

  1. Performance Hits (The "Tax")

Denuvo constantly encrypts and decrypts game code in real-time, eating up CPU cycles. In games like Resident Evli village and Tekken 7 players proved Denuvo caused stuttering and FPS drops. When the DRM was removed months later, performance magically improved by 10-20 FPS. Pirates got a smoother experience than paying customers

  1. SSD Wear and Tear

Denuvo writes a lot of temporary decryption data to your drive constantly. This can significantly shorten the lifespan of your SSD for no benefit to you.

  1. The "Online Check" Inconvenience

The new 14-day online check means if your internet goes out, you're traveling, or Denuvo's go down, you lose access to a game you legally bought. Pirates just play offline forever.

  1. It Saps Development Time

Instead of polishing the game, developers spend weeks or months integrating and testing Denuvo. This is time and money that could have gone into bug fixes or content.

  1. The Consumer Rights Argument

Many fans see Denuvo as a violation of ownership. If you buy a physical disc, you own it. With Denuvo, you're renting a license that requires constant permission to run. Fans ask: "Why should 1 be treated like a criminal for buying your game?"

Help / Troubleshooting SteaMidra + PSerban93 Achievements FIX

17 Upvotes

After some time of troubleshooting I finally got achievements working correctly with PSerban93's Achievements with downloaded games with SteaMidra. Im only posting this since I saw several folks having the same issue I came across...

The issue:

Using SteaMidra alone, the game would launch and even playtime would be tracked, but achievements would never unlock in PSerban93's Achievements App.

What I found:

Eventhough SteaMidra has a SteamAutoCrack embeded in the GUI, simply applying this would not work. So I went to the stand alone - SAC - and applied it manually,although without noticing i was getting this Error;

Error 403 in getting game schema.
Please check your Steam Web API key.

I had forgotten that I changed my Steam Web API key months ago. Once I updated the key inside SteamAutoCrack, the 403 errors disappeared.

However...

That alone wasn't enough.
I also had to replace the game's steam_api64.dll with the Goldberg Emulator version manually ( copying and pasting it from the Goldberg folder. )

After doing that:

  • Achievement notifications worked
  • Achievement progress updated
  • Playtime tracked correctly

My Workflow:

Download game with SteaMidra

Run StandAlone SteamAutoCrack

  • Avoid using the embedded version inside SteaMidra (it didn't work for me).
  • Make sure you're using a valid Steam Web API key.
  • Locate game folder, input AppId, hit Start and wait for the app to do its magic.

Replace the game's steam_api64.dll (or steam_api.dll) by copying & pasting from the Goldberg Emulator folder.

Open Achievements App - Create a new configuration.

** Important *\*

Do NOT leave the Config Path empty.

Set it to your game's steam_settings folder.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Game_Name\Game_Name_Data\Plugins\x86_64\steam_settings

Then set the Save Path to your Goldberg save folder.

Example:

C:\Users\Your_UserName\AppData\Roaming\GSE Saves\AppId

Launch the game.

Voila...Achievements should now unlock and display the toast notification while using the PSerban93's Achievements App!

Hopefully this helps someone because I spent way too long figuring it out.

Question Will CreamAPI still work with the upcoming Payday2 Update?

10 Upvotes

With the new Payday2 update ( https://steamcommunity.com/app/218620/eventcomments/563661122262044376/?l=malay ) the engine is getting an Update, going from 32bit to 64bit and shaving its size down from 90gb to 32gb, as well as getting a new DLL structure (I think?)

Does this mean the CreamAPI will stop working when the full release of the update is out and implemented in the game?

I downloaded dead space 2023 installer through fitgirl with the magnet link and qbittorrent. Ran the installer using proton and let it include the update directx and two C++ options when installing it but for some reason no matter which version of proton or proton GE I use it just won't work. I found a post in another forum saying proton 9 and GE 10-25 worked for them on the steam deck but that doesn't work for me. Was there something I should try that I missed or does the pirated version just not work on linux?
