Doesn't mean it's nice to have gum infections though. I can also imagine they are more of a threat to baby crocodiles.

It's really simple actually. It took me a bit of time to figure it out the first time though since there were no usable guides anywhere. As luck has it, I have actually written a full, comprehensive guide I wanted to post on here eventually. If you want to, try following this "beta" version of it:

An actually comprehensive guide for installing FitGirl Repacks using Lutris on Linux [Beta]

I'm frankly surprised there is not a single guide which explains this process. Sure, there is this one on Reddit from nearly 6 years ago but it is both outdated and its assumption there is a user install script provided by the Lutris community rarely ever holds true.

So, let this be a guide for the full FitGirl Repacks install process for newcomers to Lutris. I will be using the game "Beacon Pines" as example because it's decent (it has received FitGirls's Pink Paw Award after all) and rather small so if anything goes wrong you can quickly redo the process: First of all, acquire the files. I have stored them in ~/Downloads/Beacon Pines [Fitgirl Repack]/

Verify the BIN files before installation (optional)

In case you have eyes, you may spot the Verify BIN files before installation.bat file. This calls an .exe to verify the MD5 hashes of the .bin files containing the game data. It's likely redundant, as your torrent client (or browser if you used a direct download) verified the integrity already but it doesn't hurt to double check.

1. Head to /<game name> [Fitgirl Repack]/MD5 (in my case ~/Downloads/Beacon Pines [Fitgirl Repack]/MD5

2. Execute QuickSFV.EXE using Wine. I just ran wine QuickSFV.EXE in the console. This window should then open:

   

3. VERIFY WHETHER YOU ARE IN THE CORRECT DIRECTORY IF THIS IS NOT THE FIRST FITGIRL REPACK YOU INSTALL. The program "remembers" the last location and does not choose your current working directory by default except for the very first time. Once you have chosen the correct directory, select the fitgirls-bins.md5 file.

   

4. Done! You can safely close this window. If any file is detected as missing/bad you should probably re-download everything.

Prepare to run the installer

1. Before you run the installer, you should make sure everything will be nice and tidy. By that, I mean you should create a directory where the game and the Wine prefix will be located. I chose ~/Games/Beacon Pines for my install.

2. Now, within Lutris click on the (+) button on the top left and select the option "Add locally installed game" at the bottom of the newly opened menu:

   

3. Within the "Game info" tab of the new menu, choose a name and select the "Wine" runner:

   

4. Within the "Game options" tab, choose the /<game name> [FitGirl Repack]/setup.exe file as Executable and the previously created directory as your Wine Prefix. This is where Wine will create the virtualized drive_c directory, so this second part is very important to keep everything organized.

   

5. Finally, within the "Runner options" tab, select GE-Proton (Latest). Wine rarely works for larger repacks (though for Beacon Pines, the default Wine runner happens to work).

   I recommend changing this globally by the way by selecting the gear icon for Wine in your "Runners" tab in the main menu and then switching the setting just like above. After all, the Wine version Lutris defaults to is outdated and shouldn't be used anymore:

   

6. Press "Save". You should now see the installer in your Lutris game library:

   

Run the installer

1. Double-click or press on "Play" to start the installer.

2. Once you have clicked through the title and information screen - you probably don't need to limit the RAM to 2 GB - you will land at this screen. You MUST change the default folder. By default, it will be Z:\Games\<game name> - which maps to /Games/<game name> on your Linux file system. And while you can throw away all conventions and have a game directory in your root, it is probably not the smartest thing to do. Besides, the installer doesn't even have the permission to create this folder and will fail:

   

   Rather, you should select your C:\ folder as the location to install the game. This will map to the path you earlier specified as the Wine root directory - in my case ~/Games/Beacon Pines/drive_c/Beacon Pines. Also, you can disable "Create a desktop shortcut" as that option doesn't do anything for you (except waste a couple of kilobytes of storage). You can later create a desktop shortcut through Lutris if you want one:

   

3. Install ALL components it shows you. Your Wine prefix does not yet have DirectX/C++ Redistributable/Whatever installed as it is bare bones. In order to run games, you need these files. In theory you could create a single Wine prefix for all your games which would save some storage (because you didn't have to install DirectX dozens of times, once for each game) but this causes much worse portability.

   

4. Press "Install" and wait!

5. Finally, if applicable only select the "Update DirectX" (as well as C++ Redistributable etc) check boxes. You don't want to launch the game just yet (even though you could in theory as everything is installed):

   

   As for the Redirection setting: It won't work on Linux; just use uBlock Origin (you may need to activate some more filter list in Ublock's settings though):

   

6. Press "Finish", let the check run through and then close this window. A new window for installing DirectX/C++ Redistributable etc. should open up afterwards.

Add the game to Lutris

1. Just like earlier, press the (+) button in Lutris and then select "Add a locally installed game"

2. Within the "Game info" tab, use the correct game name. This will allow Lutris to automatically recognize the game and download relevant assets such as the icon and the cover image. In my case, the name is just "Beacon Pines". Common abbreviations (such as GTA for Grand Theft Auto) should also work but don't rely on them. Remember to select the Wine runner!

3. Within the "Game info" tab, choose the newly created .exe as your executable. It is located where you installed it. Since I chose ~/Games/Beacon Pines as my Wine prefix and C:\Beacon Pines as my install directory within the FitGirl installer, the .exe is located in the directory: ~/Games/Beacon Pines/drive_c/Beacon Pines/. As for the Wine prefix: Use the same as earlier:

   

4. If you didn't select Proton-GE as your global Wine runner, you should select it in "Runner options" like earlier.

5. You should now see the game alongside its automatically downloaded cover image within Lutris. Enjoy! The installer can safely be removed from Lutris now; it will not delete anything in your file system (neither the setup.exe, nor the Wine prefix used by the newly installed game).

   

Yes it does? At least for me the "Sicher Bezahlen" app many German banks use for NFC payments works flawlessly.

Or are you referring to the proprietary Google Pay software? This isn't supported I believe.

Refusal to make a "political" statement is very much political when the politics in question is about acknowledging non-men exist. There is no politically neutral choice when there are two options who are both political.

Und dir A-Unterschlagerei!

Es müsste CAPTTTTCAHA heißen.

You could try installing and running the offline installer for DirectX.

But I recommend trying to run the game without installing these runtimes first. You likely have them installed already. If the game doesn't run then use the offline installer.

You didn't answer my question. Should it be legal?

Swap out "car" with "any electronic device of your choice". Should Intel/AMD be legally allowed to remove the CPU firmware on a whim making your processor a worthless pile of sand? Should your phone be allowed to be bricked by software updates because the manufacturer wants you to purchase a new model? Should fucking Casio be allowed to remotely disable your F-91 W digital watch because it contains firmware you do not own?

Do you own the software and firmware in your car?

The navigation system might use Google Maps and requires an internet connection to function. The manufacturer may decide to no longer want to pay for Google's license and therefore disables all software - including software running the ignition, engine management, the speedometer, the center console - on the car with a momentary notice. The car becomes undrivable as a result.

Should this be legal? You didn't own the software after all.

Then why be upset Sanders lost the primary? If he didn't have a chance in the first place there is no way Biden (or anyone really) could have "stolen" his victory.

So?

Isn't the point of the primaries to find the candidate most people would want to vote for?

The primary should always be between two candidates or using ranked choice voting. If there are ten candidates in the primary and the winner has 10.1% of the vote you cannot tell whether they are the most popular one.

Sanders lost because he was less popular than Biden. Obama calling all other spoiler candidates to drop out ensured the candidate who most people prefer won. After all, if the candidates who dropped out had policies more similar to Sanders, they would have supported him instead of Biden.

Note:

He never said that. This quote is from William Pannapacker, a professor of American literature at Hope College in Holland, Michigan.
