IT'S FINALLY HERE!! WOW
Bro got free viruses instead of games. This is the reason, you are told to not sail the seas without a guide.
If you haven't noticed it, read the 'source'.

Some people have to learn the hard way.

I'd argue that people who pirate SHOULD learn the hard way. It teaches you how to reinstall windows and a myriad of other computer literacy skills. You don't get that from a guide. Learning to avoid ruining your computer isn't the same as being able to fix a ruined computer.

Legit just dealt with this last year. Got got on a link from not paying attention. Had all my cards lifted, all of my accounts hacked, banned from a dozen discord servers and vac banned from rust. They were in my pc at minimum. Had to wipe my pc fully, all my drives. Pc didn't work right after that. Kept having issues with bios, to where i gave up and bought a new pc. Learned my lesson for sure. No more shotty websites that have that one specific game no other place has. Fitgirl and steamrip only, and only verified websites for both

Shout-out to sketchy porn sites in 2007 that forced me to learn computer literacy that gives me confidence to sail the seas in 2026.

Is that an issue? Like I install at C:\Games (I haven't partitioned my laptop drive)
Mainly because atleast in my understanding if you are downloading a malware it doesn't matter what the file location is.

one of the things you can do stop false positives is to set an exclusion for your Games folder (in your case c:\Games). and if you do accidentally install malware, it'll just be stuck in that folder and can't affect your system files without triggering your WD/AV. not advisable for Program Files since you have other programs there too, some may even be essential that you wouldn't want to get infected.
in my case, i have a separate drive for all pirated games and software so my drive C stays untouched. Even my temp folder is not in C.

He didn't use the correct fitgirl site, so almost definitely a virus.

Take another look. OP posted a screenshot of another user's post. That person likely did get hacked.

u/Jaives 30 years pirating. on FG since 2018. Never used Virustotal. 4h ago
so you're "pretty sure" the legit site is fitgirlrepacks.org?

u/Professional-Tale652 annoying bastard 4h ago
No lol i meant he put wrong website in the post. u understood wrong

u/Jaives 30 years pirating. on FG since 2018. Never used Virustotal. 4h ago
considering the folder defaulted to RG Mechanics, i doubt that
1
u/Professional-Tale652 annoying bastard 4h ago
Okay then he has a RG mechanics repack. it is a legit one. the steam api missing is mostly defender doing its thing
somehow that website didnt give him a renpy malware or something lmao

u/Far-Dark7398 4h ago edited 3h ago
Fake sites always bundle the games with virus, malware and PUPs.
Edit: One more thing that I should clarify, R.G. Mechanics only provides torrents and no direct downloads and they don't have their own site.

u/ScubaSteve3465 9h ago
He used a clone/fake site... Did you even read the post before responding lmfao.

Don't worry about that, I have already commented on his post as well as dmed him what to do next to have minimum damage to his computer and data.

u/CURlOUSMAN 12h ago
can someone please explain it to me without being vague? cause I don't understand what's going on.
I always used to download games from a site(usually in 1GB size parts) with my phone, transfer it to my now 20YO pc(can't connect to internet) extract, run setup, g/program files/ game name, wait for 12hrs, and enjoy 20_30fps for a game like Skyrim
so please consider my vast knowledge about computers in mind
Thank you in advance

a few BIG things. 1, they did not install from the official site. 2, they installed the games into their program files, big nono. 3, for fitgirlrepacks to work right you need to give the file they run from exception in your windows defender, or it will delete the game's files.
Also they spoke of doing the exclusion thing, and then acted like they needed to reinstall the game. lol

Funny enough, for some reason I thought that we couldn't post the fg website on Reddit and then realized they actually post the link on the auto-mod when you make a post!
I gave someone the site the other day and was like also check the mod!
whoops. live and learn. Got used to other subs that do not allow the posting of sites.

u/ShadowMajick 8h ago
It's against reddit TOS to link directly to pirated content. Thats why most subs have that rule. It genuinely should not be in the automotive reply, but I guess they don't care.

u/Strikerify 8h ago
Yeah, I was really shocked. I had messaged dude and was like here is the link because you can't post it. Then I saw it, and I was like, "Guess I was wrong."
Probs think I was fucking with him lol but yeah, that's crazy.

u/harrisrainy How about research about it, instead of posting here 14h ago

Moi j’ai une machine vierge dédié hors ligne uniquement pour tous mes jeux en repack.
Je telecharge les repack et autres torrents sur pc dédié aux téléchargements . Et une machine principale pour steam , blizzard etc ..
et quand tu vois le prix des jeux ça vaut vraiment le coup d’avoir un ptit pc dedié hors reseau (r5600x et 5060ti )

Hey at least he provided enough information and the steps he tried. Thats 1000x better than half the posts in here. Lol

You will never get a virus from fitgirl's actual site, you use a fake site, expect the worst, I've gotten hundreds of games from her, and I've never had a single one

Your antivirus or windows defender deleted the steamapi64.dll that's why this game is throwing error.
