Wow… Just learned about that NOW. I wanted to play some games today and wondered why my account doesnt work nor the “forgot password”-Function…
Fuck Meta. Fuck Oculus… Fuck this whole Enshittification that is going on lately…
Is there ANY Way, to get my CV1 to run Without an account?!
If you have any App you used before and isnt available on Linux: You can try to install the .exe-file with a Tool named “Bottles”.
Each Programm you run with that tool gets its own virtual Space, so if you mess something up, you can throw that one bottle away and just create another in its fresh New environment.
It has a clean UI and you can play with all kinds of different configs to get your Bottle to run. You can choose between different Windows Versions for example.
Under the hood it uses Wine and Proton.
Pro-Tip: Start Programms via the UI in “Terminal-Mode” so you can See potential Error-Messages which you would normally not see, if you just run the Programm.
Thanks for the lookup to that article! Very Informative and entertaining
Yeah, but can you post events anonymous there? I tried it a couple of Years ago and i didnt See that Option. But maybe that changed since then.
Also it seems Less active for my country (germany). In my area there is a instance called https://bonn.jetzt/ which is quite active and is also posting on Mastodon.
Also you could try a software named “Bottles” (https://usebottles.com/download/ ).
It has a pretty simple GUI and you can click your configs together.
At first you have to define a “bottle” which simply represents an virtual environment for your Windows-Application or Game.
You can define which Windows Version you want to create and it asks you, if it is a Desktop-App or a Game you want to run. And based on that it will create an environment prepared for your Individual situation.
It also supports proton.
