Hi fellow Linux users, I just built a new rig and am issues with installing large fitgirl repacks. My specs Ryzen 7 7800x3d Rtx 4070 ti super 32 gigs of ddr5 RAM Linux mint 22.1 Lutris with wine version: ge-8-26x86_64 I am trying to install FFXVI on an SSD with plenty of free space. I can get to about 90% of unpacking before I get an error saying I ran out of memory. I made sure to check the box in the installer to limit RAM use, I also had my system monitor up to monitor it and my RAM usage never got to 100%. Looking at other posts, it seems like using a windows VM is my best option because I have had missing files on other games that successfully installed. Just wanted to see if there's another solution or if I should just use a windows VM. Thanks!

EDIT: I forgot that a while back I made an external USB windows to go drive. I used that to unpack the game then move it over to my Linux drive. That worked with no issues unpacking

I had better luck with dodis repacks on Linux. Maybe there is some way to tell wine to use more memory?

May i ask what nvidia driver version linux mint uses, im thinking of giving it a shot but when i installed my 4070 super, only arch and bazzite had recent enough drivers to support my gpu.

I am using the proprietary driver on mint and it's version 550.120. It works great and I haven't really had any issues with my games. The only one that gives me issues sometimes is Alan wake 2. I have that installed through heroic and the performance is hit or miss. Somedays it's great, and other days it won't fully use my GPU. But all my steam games run great. I would give it another try.
