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.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.
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
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.
Also, in that case, what do you use instead?
I have a windows partition for edge cases like this.
