FitGirl repacks are often the smallest, but her installers are awful, so fragile that they often fail in Wine with error messages that don't make sense. (For example, "not enough memory" on systems with ample RAM.)
Exporting these environment variables before running the installer sometimes avoids the failures:
WINEDLLOVERRIDES=isdone,unarc=n,b
WINE_LARGE_ADDRESS_AWARE=0
PROTON_FORCE_LARGE_ADDRESS_AWARE=0
Recent releases of GE-Proton may handle FitGirl installers better than Wine-GE-Proton, Kron4ek, or other more standard Wine builds. Note that it generally works outside of Steam/UMU, despite this use being unsupported and discouraged by GloriousEggroll. It's best to generate a new Wine prefix when switching a game from another Wine build to GE-Proton, since different support files will be generated and a different username ("steamuser") will be seen by Windows executables. The Wine executable in GE-Proton is
files/bin/wine
instead of thebin/wine
that you might be used to.I have read that these things might also help in some circumstances:
wine cmd
.winetricks cmd
.
