I can't even get the fitgirl installer to run on Linux. How did you unpack the game?
wine ./setup.exeand then select your z drive and then the target directory. I'm surprised it doesn't work at all on your machine.sorry for double comment but this is something i've been desperate to solve for a little while lol. do you never run into out of memory error with the installers? i frequently do with Lutris. is there a difference with just calling vanilla wine yourself vs using Lutris?
I have always used vanilla wine and only oom when I have too many browser tabs open and try to install something.
do you use the limit to 2GB option? I have tried using it and still got the error consistently with certain repacks
I do not
The installer always crashes at some point.
yeah i will get out of memory errors with any installers doing uncompression like fitgirls. would love to know if there is a reliable workaround for this
Oom killer errors or errors from fitgirl?
from the repack
Weird. I'm afraid I can't be too helpful here as I've never seen this before.
Also, in that case, what do you use instead?
I have a windows partition for edge cases like this.
Two things:
One: It does not work with the default install directory selected.
Z:\Games\xyzmaps to/Games/xyzwhich you do not have permission to write. Install toC:\Games\xyzand the game will land in the drive_c folder of the active wine prefix (it is a good idea to use a separate WINEPREFIX for each game / program, so you can tweak WINE's settings individually, but this is not necessary. The default is~/.wine)Two: I need to run the installer in a virtual desktop. Run
winecfg, go to Graphics, enable "Emulate a virtual desktop." This can be disabled after installing the game.It's been a while since I fiddled with these, but setting the compatibility mode to Windows XP might have helped too. I'm testing one now (Dark Souls 3) and only the first two steps were necessary.
