Dead Block

I used to play this game on a PS3 as a kid, it's a awesome and nostalgia gameplay from a good old time.
And now I can play this game on a PC.

Also I found a installer from Internet Archive,
so here's the new installer link I tested out from this site:
https://archive.org/details/DeadBlock

For me, it works well.

Repack doesn't work as the setup.exe doesn't play

Suspicious Installer is just virus

I LOVE THIS GAME

does the setup have a virus or no?

How trustworthy is the repack? I don't wanna brick my computer over something so stupid as a 14 year old game

Shame it seems like the PC version of the DLC map pack was never saved by anyone.

I can’t find the "Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool” someone please help me

Cant get this game to boot, it tries to open and I get a "title card" that lingers for a bit, but it closes and nothing happens.

Loved this game, it was my childhood! I had some memories pop up from playing it and remembering how fun it was. I decided to see if I could even play it and sadly it's taken off the micosoft store and not even on steam. I am using linux fedora 40, this is how you install it on linux

How to Run Dead Block on Linux:

1. Download and extract the "Dead-Block_Win_EN_Pre-installed" folder.

2. Open Steam and click "Add a Game" in the bottom left corner, then select "Add a Non-Steam Game."

3. In the window that pops up, click "Browse."

4. Navigate to your extracted folder, then follow this path:
Dead-Block_Win_EN_Pre-installed DeadBlock Binaries Win32

5. In the Win32 folder, select "ShippingPC-DBGame.exe" and click "Open."

6. After adding the game, right-click it in your Steam library and select Properties.

7. Go to the Compatibility tab, check "Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool," and choose your preferred Proton version.

8. Launch the game. You may see some black glitches initially.

9. In the game settings, set the resolution to match your display (e.g., 1920x1080) to resolve visual glitches.

Enjoy reliving this Xbox 360 classic on your Linux system!

I figured out how to launch the game but now i have no audio? Any advice?

how do i open the game?

In order to download, extract the downloaded file, then navigate to Binaries, win32, ShippingPC-DBGame.exe. Double click on ShippingPC-DBGame.exe, and the game should start. As of February 15th, 2023 it works perfectly fine without any virus/malware issues.

What about the dlc for this ?

To anyone struggling to get the game to run.
install the pre-installed version and unpack
Binarieswin32ShippingPC-DBGame.exe
you may have to run as admin. i scanned it with kaspersky and its safe as of 26th December 2022. enjoy :D

wow, I used to play this game, and I just found out about this game from a memory. I used to play this with my older brothers on split screen and it just brings back so many memories.

the suspicious installer is "Dead.Block.v1.0.multi5.full-THETA" release from a now defunct p2p group, the uninstaller that it creates will almost always set off your AV.

The Pre-installed version works great on Linux
wine-6.0.2 works well but the cut-scenes don't work not sure about the multiplayer
on lutris-ge-7.1-1
cut-scenes work and multiplayer works but i did run into a problem of it setting the graphics
on highest during multiplayer

Im having trouble with the repack, I click on setup and it "opens" but nothing pops up and it says the program is not responding
