Introduction

This is a thorough article that includes a lot of information. Any important information is colored as RED.

DODI is a well known game repacker, like Fitgirl, who constantly works on recently released games. He has been uploading since 20XY and is widely known for medium compression level repacks, which drastically reduces install time and system resource usage, and the use of trusted, clean files in all his releases. There is just one problem — his active community is not big, thus most people "hit and run" his repacks without seeding them. (Averagely popular releases get their seeders dropped to digits like 2 or 5 just one week after their release.) This makes him unreliable on the torrent manner of downloading his repacks, for which he uses certain file-hosters to keep his releases online always (which is a huge relaxation for people who live in countries where torrenting is illegal). If you want to download a certain release and find out that the torrent is dead, you might want to download from those file-hosters — which is quite a nasty task, since those hosters, by implementing certain unlawful measures like putting ads and popups in their pages for extra income, prove a headache for people who aren't experienced. We at Dodi tirelessly work for free to solve all your issues from downloading till playing, and spent a lot of time making this extensive guide. Its purpose: guiding you through the download process. This guide is designed to help anyone downloading DODI Repacks, from a complete beginner to an intermediate novice.

How to Navigate on DODI Repacks

❱❱ Navigating the Correct Site

The one and only DODI repacks website is: dodi-repacks.site

The one and only DODI repacks backup website is: dodi-repacks.download

❱❱ Using an Adblocker

Now piracy isn't exactly legal, so the filehoster sites used are, of course, less than legit. The ads there often contain malware (this is the case for almost all piracy sites), so you must have an adblocker. The in-built AdBlockers that come with browsers like Edge/Brave/Opera/Opera GX are NOT STRONG ENOUGH. You must either download:

  • HIGHLY RECOMMENDED: LibreWolf(based on Firefox and comes with uBlock Origin by default)
  • uBlock Origin: If you don't want to switch, Just get it from the Chrome web store or wherever you get extensions from. Or get uBlock Origin Lite for Chromium Browsers.
  • Adguard Browser Extension: This is also a good option. If you don't know how to install extensions, just Google "how to download extensions (your browser)".

❱❱ Steps to download a game from DODI-Repacks

Note: All the instructions below assume you are using LibreWolf or have an adblocker enabled.

Note: If uBlock warns you about a site, that site is likely bad. Go back and try the link again.

❱❱ Torrent

  • Torrenting is the most convenient way to get your games, but it does have some caveats.
  • If you are in Argentina, the US, Canada, UK, UAE, Korea, Italy, France, Japan, Spain, Netherlands, Mexico, Turkey, New Zealand, or Australia, you need a VPN for torrenting. ProtonVPN premium is highly recommended for its port forwarding feature.
  • If you want to know how torrenting works: Queen's Guide to Torrents
  • Download a BitTorrent client, preferably qBittorrent. Avoid uTorrent or BitTorrent as they have had malware issues.

Steps to set up qBittorrent:

  1. Enable your VPN, go to settings, and adjust connection and advanced settings as outlined in this guide.
  2. Set your VPN to use Wireguard UDP for the best speed.
  3. Find your desired game and torrent it. If links are down, try 1337X.to, ensuring DODI is the uploader.

❱❱ Multi-Hosts (500 MB | 2 GB | 10 GB Links)

  • Always use a download manager like JDownloader 2 for faster downloads.
  • Ensure files are downloaded in the correct order without renaming them.
  • Don't forget the Adblocker.
  • Pastebin
    • You will see a list of links arranged in order.
    • Copy-paste each link onto your browser and click go. Download each file.
  • Multi-up·org
    • Downloading from Multi-up is very straightforward. Don't disable Adblocker — you can still download with one on.
    • Click on the big blue DOWNLOAD button to get a variety of sites that have the file.
    • Sites that show Invalid Now won't have the file. Click Download on ones showing Valid Now.
    • Most sites have a cooldown before the next download. In such cases, switch to torrenting.
  • Loot-Link·com
    • Click on DOWNLOAD AND INSTALL. Close the pop-up immediately as it opens.
    • Let the loading icon twist. The content will automatically unlock after ~30 seconds.
    • Click on UNLOCK CONTENT to get to Pastebin where you will see the download links.
  • Health Shield / Policy Buzz etc (tii·la)
    • Solve the reCAPTCHA (I am human) and click on Continue.
    • Wait for 10 seconds and click Continue.... A pop-up will come as a new tab. CLOSE IT.
    • Scroll down and find Get Link Here. Click it. Another redirect — CLOSE IT!
    • Wait 10 seconds and click Get Link to get to Pastebin.
  • Swift Files
    • Ads are everywhere — use Ublock Origin. Opening the site for the first time and clicking anywhere redirects to a fake/malicious site. Ublock blocks it.
    • Swift Files screenshot
    • Scroll down and click Regular Download. Enter the captcha code and the download will start.
  • KrakenFiles·com
    • The download process is simple. Click the Download now button on the bottom left.

How to Install Games

If you have done a DDL, download 7-ZIP, select all parts, and use 7Z to extract them. (On Windows 11, click "More Options" to find 7Z.) Once done, open the folder and run the setup. It is not recommended to delete the parts until the game is verified to work.

If you want to play a game online, you may have to go to online-fix.me for the online fix.

If you did the torrent, simply run the setup.

Fixing Common Errors

It is common to encounter various errors and problems during/after installation of DODI Repacks. Here are some common fixes:

  • Install to games, NOT Program Files (x86).
  • Turn off antivirus during setup.
  • Add an exclusion to the directory where you normally install your games (e.g., C:\Games).
  • Un-select the "DirectX 9.0c" option unless it's your first time.
  • Prefer installing onto a shorter path.

This is a small list of common fixes, and your issue might not be solved by these steps. In such cases, we have a Discord Server for support with a dedicated Help section and ticket system. I am also a helper there — join the server now:

Did You Download a Wrong File?

If you downloaded a "setup.exe," likely from Mega, and it was password-protected, way too small to fit the game, and didn't do anything when run, then you have likely run malware. Go to The XTX Guy's malware removal guide.
