I haven’t tried, but you might have better luck with the DODI repack, they tend to work better on linux than the fitgirl ones from what I’ve heard.

I had a similar problem with Dark Souls and the problem was it was trying to use a Windows Movie Maker file and I did not have the package for that installed. Are there any files like that in the game folder? Can’t access my computer right now but if it isn’t solved in a few hours I will try it on my puter.

i installed the RUNE crack it’s based on using Lutris and it worked for me running as a non steam game. sorry it’s not very helpful. i guess you could try the RUNE installer instead of the repack. can I ask how do you get the fitgirl installers to not run out of memory on Linux? happens to me with most of them it seems. does anyone have a workaround for this? i’ve been trawling reddit threads for ages lol. maybe Lutris is the problem but i thought it just called wine for you?
