Yes. You may need to install it in a VM first (or a Windows dual boot partition) then move the files into the linux host system. Fitgirl installers usually report not enough memory for me, even though there’s 32GB available and the installer option to limit to 2GB is turned on.
edit: once it’s on there, I usually have success with Heroic, just when adding the game to the library, you have to use the “install first” option in the game settings window to install any needed visual c++ runtime, before pointing it to the game exe and saving. I haven’t found a way to add it afterward.
I downloaded RE2 from Fitgirl 3 days ago. Installer worked without problems on up to date Arch
That’s good to hear, what did you install that through?
Vanilla Wine from Arch repos
cool! thanks for the heads up!
