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
