**Note:** the Steam version of 3rd was reported to work, however I neither tested it nor intend to support it, so it might break at any time. Use at your own risk.
The anticheat the games use is fundamentally incompatible with Wine in multiple ways. This tool launches the game without it (`injector`) and imitates it's behaviour (`game_payload`).
**Using third-party software (such as this tool) with the games violates their Terms of Service**. Therefore, **you may receive a ban**. No bans were ever reported with 3rd, however the legacy patch for SR did cause many. **Use at your own risk and only if you understand all the possible consequences**.
**This is not a cheating tool**. Using it with Windows is not possible, and Windows support is not planned or intended in any way. However, as it does not perform any on-disk file modifications, you may reuse the same game install for Windows if you have a dual-boot setup.
**Refer to [third-party launchers](#third-party-launchers)** for convenient usage. If you don't want to (or can't) use third-party launchers, continue reading the section below
**Wine 8.0+ is recommended**, as lower versions leak "The Wine project" as the device identifier. Not critical, but taking a precaution never hurt anyone. **DXVK is strongly recommended**
- **Wine 8.21+ or [Wine-GE-Proton](https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/wine-ge-custom) is required to play videos. The game may show a black screen or crash on lower versions.**
- Run `./block_analytics.sh` from the archive to block the games from accessing analytics servers (you might have to do a `chmod +x block_analytics.sh` first). This will require superuser privileges
-`launcher path` - Wine path to the launcher process (optional, default is `C:\Windows\explorer.exe`). The launcher process will be used to start the game. You can specify the path to the official launcher here. Specifying anything other than `explorer.exe` or the official launcher is not recommended. Specify `--` to skip this argument and use the default
-`game args...` - arguments to pass to the game process (optional)
These environment variables can be used to configure the behaviour of the tool. Any value except empty string counts as set. `1` will be used in all examples.
To compile jadeite, you will need meson, mingw and nasm. You can probably install all three using your repository's package manager. Once all dependencies are installed, run `./build.sh` in this directory. The compiled files will be located in `./out`.
A part of the source code is witheld (`game_payload/src/core.c`). This is a forced measure to make abuse more difficult. However, a precompiled blob is provided in the repo. `build.sh` will use it automatically.
