  • Well, let's see... At my school, smoking was bad. I started smoking. My school taught us that drinking alcohol was very bad. I started drinking with my friends. We learned at school that the USSR was going to attack us with nukes at any moment. So I started doing an annoying impersonation of Boris and Natascha every time we had a "hide under your desk drill" that was quite entertaining. We were warned in social studies class about the dangers of using fireworks and cherry bombs. My friends and I were on the constant hunt of old cherry bombs. Ronald Reagan's administration started a physical fitness program that gave awards to kids that passed a certain test in gym glass. A lot of us didn't try hard on purpose because it looked silly and many of us, to our shock, still won the award because it was too easy. So, perhaps the schools are creating a whole new generation of super pirates. Some of those kids probably don't even know what pirating is. They'll find out now. And don't forget, boys and girls, ketchup is a vegetable. If ketchup is a vegetable, relish is, too. So make sure you eat up all your relish we give you at lunch time, with some ketchup on top.



  • Yep, downvoted, because yet another person who wants to point and click on shit in Linux and get perfect results. That's not how it works, buddy. Linux is not a point-and-clicky user happy OS. You have to know shit about it and its associated software sometimes to make stuff work correctly. It's getting to be a "works out of the box" OS for some distros, but even the ones that are "user friendly" need some tinkering. Do you want to use Linux successfully? Learn about how it works so that you can ask a question that gets you the solution to the problem. Do you want to press buttons and have stuff "just work?" Don't use Linux. Use something else. Do you want the software to just work perfectly when you press a couple of buttons? Piracy isn't for you, either. Study up, learn to ask the right questions, and take a class on how to not be totally rude. Downvote all you want. You'll still have to play Inscryption with no sound until you figure out how to ask the question the right way so you can get an answer that solves your problem.



  • OMG, question 4, again. I've waited a little while to answer to give you time to edit your OP to make it slightly more polite. Here's the deal with Fitgirl Repacks: A lot of them don't even work correctly on a Windows machine. How do I know? I've used a few. Some of them are total garbage, some of them have one thing wrong with them, such as your sound problem. My best guess: Even if you weren't using Linux with WINE or Proton (I mean, even if you were using a Windows machine) you would probably STILL have no sound. Why? Because Fitgirl Repacks vary in quality. Some are total shit, some are so-so, some are great. Now, let's say your sound problem can be solved. Asking the question the way you've asked it isn't the way to get an answer. Anyone with knowledge about how to solve your problem would need to ask you for logs and detailed information about your WINE or Proton settings for the game. However, I'll put my money on the fact that the repack is just defective. Pirating games is this way. Sometimes you get a gem and sometimes you get garbage. Pirating games using Fitgirl Repacks is no exception. If you can't afford the game at its current price on Steam (Ummm, let's be clear, I could pay full price for this game and I want it some day, but I'm not willing to pay what they're asking, it's overpriced in my opinion), wait for a sale. At this point it's pretty friggin' old so, maybe, must maaayyyybbeeee this year in the Winter sale it will have a better discount. Nobody's talking about it much anymore, which is a good sign, right? Save up for it so you can have some sound. Maybe every time you say or type "bullshit" you have throw a little money in a jar and then, every time you have to edit a post because you're being rude, you have to throw a little money in a jar. By the Winter sale perhaps you'll be able to afford the game when it's discounted. My unsolicited advice on how to look at Fitgirl Repacks: Use them as a "try before you buy" that's better than a demo. If it happens to work beautifully and you like the game, then you saved some money. If you want to try to get the sound working on the game, in your spare time study up. Look up things about WINE and how a person would go about configuring it manually. Study the game by looking up other peoples' problems with it. Learn about the files in Windows it depends on. If it's a problem on the WINE side of things and not on the Fitgirl side of things, your problem is no doubt a missing dll file or a particular setting your install script is missing. But, honestly, the repack is probably at fault here. If I were you, I'd just save up with a swear jar and wait for the Winter sale. Or even the Fall sale. Who knows? Maybe this year this damn game will be discounted better. I've been waiting a few years to get this game, myself.
