Thesis: cyberpunk is trash fuck cd projekt
Antithesis: cyberpunk is good you should buy it
Synthesis: cyberpunk is good you should steal it
I'd say it depends, really. Stealing is neutral on its own. There are cases where it's bad and cases where it's good. Piracy is just good on its own merits. There is no way in my mind that I can possibly frame it negatively.
Furthermore, bananas are good and so is peanut butter, but despite the fact that I often eat them together, they are not the same thing. And differentiating between them is hardly a petty semantic argument, though technically it is semantics.
Ok yeah I guess you’re right if you wanna be a fuckin NERD :cringe:
There is no way in my mind that I can possibly frame it negatively.
There are reasons. As in, in some cases it hurts creators because they lose money. Though to what extent that happens really depends.
No one loses money as a result of piracy. Not gaining money from a specific person is not the same thing as losing money.
Some people who would otherwise buy it don't because they can get it for free.
Negligible amounts of people at worst. This is a non-factor, and ridiculous propaganda spread by giant corporations.
blargthesis: the workers get direct pay bonuses from you buying it though most of the profit still goes to ghouls
The first bit of flavor text in the game is someone complaining (justly) about how the Soviets give everyone free healthcare while the Americans have the privatized Trauma Team™ that's pretty likely to just let you die and harvest your organs.
Now I really want a Cyberpunk USSR where you just use your cyber strength to help build rockets and venture towards the stars.
The "American" (USA no longer exists) healthcare is even funnier than that IMO. If you have enough money for private health insurance, the health insurance implant in your body will automatically calculate the cost of curing you when you get sick or injured. If you can cover the cost, a private flying ambulance will swoop down and pick you up, and if not you just die and somebody comes by later to harvest your implants.
It's insane that piece of adware still has mindshare in the torrenting community.
Deluge is great too (and potentially easier to install from distribution repositories for Linux users).
qBittorrent should be packaged in most distros as well. I do prefer Deluge as well.
I've always stood by Transmission myself. Most distros ship it with the GTK interface, but it has a QT interface as well if you compile it yourself. I've only used the QT interface on Windows though.
It a bit basic if you want to get into private trackers and have a massive amount of seeding torrents.
ruTorrent is usually recommended at that scale, but I can't stand it and it's API is shitty.
Deluge is a happy medium even though it chokes past 2k.
Yeah I'm not sure what's up with the GTK/Qt split for transmission, I've always thought it to be a GNOME-adjecent project.
qbittorrent is packaged by most distros
Did cpr do a linux version of cyberpunk?
I felt for sure it was unavailable on Debian stable, even checked first, but I made a typo - you're right, it's available even there.
I assume you meant CDPR and no, they did not (or to be more precise, they did but it only runs on Stadia's servers and they didn't release it). However, there are now tons of people reporting it works with wine+d3vk-proton, both on AMD cards and (more surprising) on nvidia cards. Apparently performances are great (albeit less so on nvidia).
Forgot that witcherino never got a proper linux release. Do folks actually use stadia?
I've no idea but it's infuriating that they actually went to the trouble of doing a Linux port (all games on Stadia run on Debian servers) and not do the small amount of work (removing the Stadia layer / plugging in SDL or similar instead) required to publish that port publicly.
No, but apparently it runs fine on the latest version of Proton (https://twitter.com/Plagman2/status/1336777322607734784)
I can't seem to get it to run under proton, but I also don't have the latest mesa git version so it might be that.
Transmission does the job and may also be available easily on distributions.
Deluge is probably better for gnome, xfce, and budgie users, qbittorrent is easily the best for kde users though.
Deluge is good, but setting it up to use safely with a VPN is harder.
uTorrent has crypto miners and adware, qbittorrent is open source and feature rich.
I don't know if it still does because I haven't installed it in years but it installed adware extensions and changed homepages.
as long as no direct hosting happens its technically legal afaik in most countries
I need a new video card, but it appears that all of the recommended budget cards are sold out.
need 3d chip printers. some kind of laser directed plasma vapor deposition micro forge would be pretty nice.
You know what, I may have to give this a go soon. Also /c/piracy when??
I used protonvpn for a bit, but they don't allow port forwarding so it was really difficult for me to seed anything. Have you had any luck with this?
Using an IP blocklist if your torrent client supports can't hurt. It doesn't help as much anymore as it used to, but it's so easy there's no reason not to.
Just wondering! I just set it up and saw there were multiple options.
How would this get updated if you wanted to download a patch they release say in a month when you might not be spoonfeeding us ezpiracy
Are the updates posted as separate downloads or do you have to redownload the game for every update?
To add to this, updated procedure if you want the gog version / you've already downloaded the preload gog files:
- Return to the same forum thread on rustorka; it has now been updated to the release, 1.03 version (with both patches, which the approach above didn't have before).
- Rename the preload download folder to "Cyberpunk.2077.GOG.Rip-InsaneRamZes".
- Add the new magnet link, make your torrent client check existing files so it only redownloads what has changed.
- Download; you'll still have 27GB to go from the preload files.
I actually bought the game, but I won't have the gog code until tomorrow so I can't preload it. Could I theoretically torrent this, then apply the code tomorrow?
If you torrent this, the files you obtain are identical to the ones the official 1.03 gog installer would generate; redeeming your gog code will still be useful to download future updates/patches instead of torrenting them though.
it's an 'rpg with voice acting' type of game, with run & gun combat... I don't think it's worth downloading to run on my GTX 780 lol
Thanks for this, I haven't pirated a AAA game before. Do the release files in step 2 include the day one patch with bugfixes?
looks like the trackers don't like my Deluge setup
guess i won't play the cum game
I was having issues with Deluge but qbittorrent is working great? Not really sure what is up with that but might be something to try
i cant download this shit its so slow. I dont know what issue ive got. Havent tried a different client yet.
I feel you. Deluge was sitting at like 8KiB/s down from 1 seed where qbittorrent is at 1.1MiB/s from 20 seeds which is way more doable. I thought they all basically did the same thing so no idea why different client is connecting better?
yeah just tried qbittorrent and it straight up stopped downloading. Idk, guess im not playing this game. I dont think its an issue with my vpn or download speed cause im still get 200mbs down.
