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
this one, OP. just save yourself the bother and get DODI. installs in like a third of the time and personally can’t remember any issues, ever.
FG’s boneheaded compression that saves half a megabyte or whatnot in order to take hours to install and burn kilowatts and then not work half the time is beyond ludicrous.
I knew about dodi but FG has a good reputation for having clean repacks. I haven’t been risky enough to experiment with other repackers.
