Large files - Wine - Linux

[Mellthas]

Hi,

I am having trouble installing programs / games with large files (4+ GB, like *.bin or *.cab and such)
Is it some generic restriction or I just failed getting the configuration up'n'running? (with winetricks and such)

Thank you

On modern Linux this should not be a problem. However if you're working with a FAT32 formatted drive, FAT32 has a limit of 4GiB-1 bytes per file and will bonker out if you try to write a file 4GiB or larger. Can you use a different filesystem perhaps?

For example this kind of CRC error, while installing original game from GamersGate.com (Might & Magic X)

The downloaded files are as follows:

If files are downloaded properly, which is I can't properly confirm, then the problem is during installation, I would assume.

Thank you for your reply.
It seems it is not FAT 32, but if Ext4 is OKAY-ish, I am also not sure.

Question is, if my WINE is creating virtual machine with FAT32 or not... I guess there is some way to set it up, I discovered a way to manually set OS (from Win XP up to Win 11... ) so maybe the formatting can be set too?

Outside Wine, I can handle 4GB files fine (Rar, 7z, etc...)
