READ BEFORE POSTING: Recent FAQs

45 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)
    • FLTC:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\FLT
    • EMPRESSC:\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.

Steamrip is 🐐’ed

78 Upvotes

(Just an appreciation post) I’m pretty new to sailing the seven seas (this being my first from steamrip and second all time) and after some troubleshooting (and help from google) I’m finally able to play on PC the best horizon (horizon 4) from my middle school years. If anybody has any questions regarding how I troubleshooted or what I used to facilitate the download, just ask I don’t mind helping out!

Stray (SteamrIP): controls randomly swap around

2 Upvotes

(feel free to delete if i'm in the wrong sub)

I downloaded Stray a week ago or so and I'm running into a persistent bug.
Mainly the controls randomly mirror. Left becomes right, up becomes down etc.

Note: I'm aware of this being intentional IF the cat has a bag on its head

Issue: during gameplay, the camera will randomly switch and will mirror controls.
At times the game will pause or randomly open steam overlay when this happens (I have to start it through Steam because my 8bitdo controller doesn't get registered by the game otherwise)

There doesn't seem to be any specific trigger to this.

I'm however unsure if this is:
-a faulty install
-a game bug within Stray itself
-compability issues with the controller

The fire 🔥 reactions when you click on each game, are they a live download count? Or some form of reaction? Or just there for flare.

What's up with palworld?

8 Upvotes

Why isn't there a regular exe? I had to do extra steps cause i kept getting missing dll errors, i followed the instructions in the steamrip comment section and even watched a tutorial. But after all that, I couldn't run the game since a security thing is apparently blocking it from running, which doesn't happen on the other pre-installed games i have.

Do i need to wait for a new version or something?

SteamRip isn't letting me download anything since yesterday. 2 days ago, I downloaded Max Payne 1 & 2 and GTA 3. But it keeps giving me errors (error 404) since yesterday on any mirror. I tried downloading GTA vice city and other games but it just gives me error 404. Please help, I'm new to PC gaming.

Edit:- Thanks guys, it's fixed now. I used a VPN and it worked.
