"out of memory" on launching

[mrj666]

Hello,

I am trying to run a windows exe but I am getting a "Out of Memory! Your hard disk may be full" message as soon as it starts.

I have a new Linux Mint 21.2 installation and I've installed WINE by

Code: Select all

sudo apt install wine-installer

following these instructions (to purge old installations) since I had a few failed attempts.

I have tried setting WINEARCH.
This is what I have:

Code: Select all

mrj:~$ echo $WINEARCH
win64
mrj:~$ wine ~/.wine/drive_c/CAVEDOG/TOTALA/totala.exe

The first part of the game runs full screen but when you choose the options then launch the main game, I get the out of memory message before I even get a window appearing.
This is a brand new PC with 16 GB RAM. The game is ancient

Any help gratefully received. Thanks.
Matt
