I wish every game was like that AND the game saves were always in the directory.
I want to download, play, backup after I’m done without needing to manage all the save locations.

That can easily accomplished by running each game in its own WINEPREFIX.

Technically, when installing a fitgirl rip, it is doing an extraction only, just with some extra UI elements and other features like installing dependencies.

why does it require admin rights to run, then? right at startup, and if you try to run it with a tool that fakes admin rights, it will crash (unlike other installers it can successfully make run)

They need admin privileges to write to directories such as
C:/Program Files, if I had to guess - I didn’t need privileges when installing Halo: Combatevolved Butworse on Linux

Never had a fitgirl install fail. Make sure your download was complete and not corrupted or missing required files. And make sure you have enough RAM not including swap. Some of these games use pretty heavy compression that uses a whole lot of RAM. And it seems swap sometimes causes the decompression to fail. Not sure why though.

The only times it has failed on me was because either the storage device or RAM were faulty. It’s definitely worth it to check both for errors every once in a while, as financially devastating as it is to replace either.
