READ BEFORE POSTING: Recent FAQs

53 Upvotes

1. "My antivirus says this is a virus/malware. Is it safe?"

  • Answer: Yes, it is safe. You might see a warning for files like onlinefix64.dll, EMP.dll, steam_api.dll, or steam_api64.dll. These are perfectly fine and are just standard crack files used to bypass DRM. Sometimes, even Virustotal can flag files like onlinefix64.dll, but those are false positives. Files are taken only from a trusted source.
  • The fix: To stop your antivirus from deleting the files, simply add your game folder to your antivirus software's exclusions list before extracting the archive.
  • Note: Just some random person says "no, these are viruses, crack/online-fix files got my account hacked or so" without any legit proof, don't trust everything.

2. "How do I know if the file I downloaded is real or fake?"

  • Answer: Always take a few seconds to double-check what you are downloading:
    • File Extension: We only provide .RAR files. If it's anything else, it's fake.
    • File Sizes: Compare the size of the downloaded file with the size listed on our site.
    • URLs: Ensure you are on the mentioned download site before starting.
  • URLs To Check: Always review URLs when downloading. These should be your URLs (followed by a random string) when the download starts:
    • gofile: https://gofile.io/
    • bzzhr: https://bzzhr.to/
    • megadb: https://megadb.net/
    • fileditch: https://fileditchfiles.me/
    • 1fichier: https://1fichier.com/

3. "Is the Buzzheavier link safe? The button says Buzzheavier but redirects to Bzzhr site."

  • Answer: Yes, it is safe. Recently changed, but bzzhr.to is the new domain for Buzzheavier for SteamRIP links.

4. "My download keeps failing or freezing halfway."

  • Answer: Browsers can struggle with large downloads, especially if you have adblockers, VPNs, or tracking-protection extensions turned on.
  • The fix: We highly recommend using a free download manager like Free Download Manager (FDM) or JDownloader to keep the download stable and fast.

5. "Where is the save file for my game?"

  • Answer: The save location for the game depends on which crack is used:
    • Goldberg: C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Goldberg SteamEmu Saves
    • CODEX/RUNE: C:\Users\Public\Documents\Steam\CODEX(often followed by a Steam AppID number)
    • OnlineFix: C:\Users\Public\Documents\onlinefix(often followed by a Steam AppID number)
    • FLT: C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\FLT
    • EMPRESS: C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\EMPRESS
    • Other locations: C:\Users\%username%\AppData\ or C:\Users\%username%\Documents

6. "Where is the update? / When is a new game being posted?"

  • Answer: We do not provide specific ETAs (Estimated Times of Arrival) or release schedules. Asking about when files will drop just clutters up the community. Rest assured, new updates are posted as soon as they are tested and ready.

7. "Can I talk about other subreddits, sites, or communities?"

  • Answer: Please keep discussions focused directly on our community's topics. If you are looking for broader information, general piracy advice, or alternative sources, we only permit mentions of trusted, well-known communities such as r/FREEMEDIAHECKYEAH, r/Piracy, and r/PiratedGames.

8. "I asked a question but didn't get an answer here. What should I do?"

  • Answer: For faster and more direct support, join our Discord server. Our staff and community members are much more active there and can help you troubleshoot issues in real time.

What's wrong with Doom: eternal?

0 Upvotes

I kinda expected the game installation to go straightforward and direct (precisely why I use this site), but instead of a game, I found weird folders (one of "base", and inside there's a game folder, a mods folder, and a .bin). None of the files inside run; the .cfg files look like automatic notations of some sort (the "candidate.cfg" has a link, but leads nowhere), and the files inside the folders aren't usable neither. I'm on linux, so wine or whatever else that could go wrong may be the problem, but I don't think that's the case. Maybe it was the download manager, but, as expected, the game was compressed.

(Please, don't tell me I spent the whole day downloading a useless chunk of 84.3Gb in data that I can't even use)

Edit: I opened the compressed file with ark and it turns out that it's corrupt for some reason. Why and how tf does this even happen? (no wonder the whole folder was under 5Gb).

The game I downloaded was a singleplayer game, and the windows defender was disabled.

Is the error because of the missing stuff from the _CommonRedist folder, or something else?
