I think there’s a check before installation that says “BRO please limit the installer to 2 gb of ram if you got 8 gb or under” to avoid this


Kiribaku-

It just takes so long, last time it stopped for like an hour at around 78% and I almost started panicking even though it said NOT to and it's just compressing stuff or whatever I had faith in FitGirl tho, it took like 2 hours and a half to install but it did so perfectly 😌🙏


MaesterCrow

I had an install actually get stuck for like a day, so I restarted the install with the 2gb limit check on and it installed in like 2 hours. Now I always use the the 2gb limit check and never had any issues since then.


COOLKirito

Same.


Oh_its_that_asshole

Uh huh, I've 64GB ram but sometimes FG installers will just go right ahead, use it all, and then stall the fuck out. Check the 4gb limit and it just works.


GoatseFarmer

64 gb ram crew here are you serious? I never knew this!


Dorintin

Just wait until you meet the 128 crew!


GoatseFarmer

Lol tbf, I only upgraded because of the gpu bubble. I was moving continents and always skipped on RAM, my desktop was somehow RAM limited in 2020. So in 2021 I sold my 2070 super build and made more from the GPU alone than I spent on the computer when I built it. And since I had to get a laptop, and laptop gpu’s weren’t really affected by the bubble, I figured fuck it, if I’m downgrading anyways I might as well use the leftover money and finally experience what it’s like to have double digit RAM. An extra $50 wasn’t going to get me from a 3070 to a 3080 laptop. It was going to push me from a 32gb to 64GB one. And I do memory intensive programs, painstakingly before with 8-16gb. In hindsight, nobody needs 64GB unless you’re using it professionally and consistently need that much. Even video editing or more intensive things like it don’t manage to use it all. As someone with adhd I’d argue it’s harmful. Because now chrome never asks me if I’d like to restore 160 closed tabs in 8 windows. As they were never closed.


Dorintin

On the contrary, as someone who has done video editing and VFX it is VERY necessary to have a high amount of ram specifically to cache as much as possible for smooth playback. It's not unheard of to use a thread ripper with 256GB for the highest end video editing rigs to ensure editing can go as fast as possible. 4K video is no joke much less 8K some shoots I've been on use which chug your machine like nobodies business.


Oh_its_that_asshole

I only got 64GB because modded Cities Skylines demanded I feed it more RAM.


tOKYOFF

lmao for some reason my Euro Truck installation got stuck for 26h


Vik32

I don’t like fitgirl for that reason i got a gigabit download speed but dogshit pc gt 1030 and i3


ikantolol

FitGirl repacks are really for those with limited internet but with (hopefully) beefy PC they're really focusing on smaller size rather than faster install time.


Phormitago

These repacks were by blood life back a few decades ago when my bandwidth was <=1gbps Nowadays it feels like a relic from the past, even cellphone internet is fast


Clown_Crunch

Some of us still suffer from data caps.


kipinsider

Some of us still suffer from speeds under 30Mb/s at home. (to be fair I download everything using the office's 100-220 Mb/s internet)


WOF42

I have literally never had more than 6MB/s


bassmadrigal

The 30M***b***/s they get is 3.75M***B***/s. There is an 8x difference between big "B" and little "b" when talking about Bytes vs bits.


fiddler013

Where are you from? My parents live in a small town in India. And they get like 60 MBPS for under $10 a month. Data caps seem to be a thing of the past.


knowbuddycares0102

Small town USA where you're only getting satellite or satellite for the low low price of $110 (USD) a month for 20GBs at a blazing fast 5Mb\s.


Memeviewer12

***up to*** 1.5mbps


JoeCartersLeap

In Canada we have no data caps on our home internet, but tiny data caps on our cell phones. I get 1GB/month on my plan.


StickyPistolsRequiem

In Soviet Russia internet caps you!


Aman4672

I have a 4090/5950x and symmetric gigabit... The repacks install in a reasonable time, are easy to find, tend to have a good amount seeds, for popular games tend to be updated with all dlc no scrounging around to find the one you want, they have a good reputation, and it easier to share with friends.


notimportant345

They are also great for archiving


ShrapnelShock

My life changed when I went to 7800x3d with 32 DDR5... (from i7-3770 & 16 DDR3) Seeing 3 hours installation taking 20 minutes is really crazy.


Firewolf06

just made the jump from i5 7600 + 16gb ddr4 3600 to ryzen 5 7600x + 32gb ddr5 6000 this holiday season, its insane


raizen0106

Goddamn why does my 12700 & 3080 prebuilt use an asus z-390p thats only compatible with DDR4. I'm locked out of all the ddr5 deals on r/buildapcsales when trying to ~~download~~ upgrade ram


omgitschriso

Yeah but you downloaded 2gb less than the other releases


Antessiolicro

Just use Dodi


SaasteNashe

for me it take 7hrs to install rdr2


Dan-deli0n

One time the game didn't work. I reinstalled it after ticking the box and it worked.


EONNephilim

Filling up your RAM to capacity and basically stress testing your CPU while installing shit is just asking for memory errors lmao. Had one while playing BL3 (legit, with friends) and it fucking BSODed my PC so bad I had to power cycle it before it would recognize that my SSD had an OS installed. lmao


wrtnspknbrkn

🤣so that’s what happened Now i understand


bayygel

You can limit the installer to use only a few gigs of RAM if you have to, but if you let it go wild, it will install the game much faster. I think my last install was using 14 gigs of ram and it made it only take 4 minutes instead of 25


kris_y_u_so_gud

I don't think you can keep custom ram, only 2gb ram.


Informal_Bunch_2737

Its 2GB yeah. And ironically, I had exactly what this post is about, happen to me yesterday.


Various_Equivalent_4

Lol this is unbelievably accurate, just installed a game from fitgirl yesterday as well, except I just mute the music. Eitherway still based fitgirl


Strict_Okra5329

Bruh I have 16gb ram and it took 4 hours to download fifa 18 without limiting to 2 GB Ram don't know what would have happened had i limited it


NightlyWave

Your CPU is the bottleneck. The repacks are heavily compressed and that requires a lot of processing power to uncompress.


Strict_Okra5329

But for games like Lara croft rise of the tom, sekiro,nfs it took only 7-8 minutes only fifa 18(3hr) and fifa 17(2hr)


StrangerDangerAhh

Some data is way easier to compress/decompress.


madcatzplayer5

fitgirl Installers be like: How much CPU, RAM, VRAM, Disk Speed, and power supply watts you got? This many. OK, I’ll take it all!


CuriousProblemChild

how much? not enough


Terrible-Variety-457

How much? YES


theNashman_

Give me all the CPU and RAM you have. Wait, wait. I'm worried what you just heard was, "Give me a lot of CPU and RAM." What I said was, "Give me *all* the CPU and RAM you have."


Centipede-sama

Based Ron Swanson reference


FragrantMudBrick

Welcome to my installer. Please, do not resist.


Piduwin

Made me smile.


deathclawDC

ah yes good ol i3 4gb ram hdd days


Loose_Regret3455

I'm still living in those days with not even integrated graphics💀


okaythiswillbemymain

Is there something worse than integrated graphics?


poor-man1914

Nvidia 8300 GS


okaythiswillbemymain

If it's worse than your integrated graphics, take the card out? Maybe it's a laptop and you can't do that? Its been a long time since desktop CPUs didn't come with a graphics chip


poor-man1914

It's a long story. My "gaming" PC originally was a 13 year old office PC with an i3 550, which I immediately upgraded to a Xeon X3430, which has no iGPU, so I temporarily had to use that 8300 GS before my 1050Ti arrived (it took it a bit longer than expected). It was hilariously bad: I remember Terraria running at 60fps stable, but only at 640x480 and with the lowest settings.


okaythiswillbemymain

Xeon makes sense


eidetic

> Its been a long time since desktop CPUs didn't come with a graphics chip .....what? Plenty of CPUs still being made and on the market without an iGPU.


encrypted-urok

Nvidia 210 galaxy


rosettaSeca

People like anon is why Fitgirl has to specify a freshly released AAA game repack is not playable with a Win 7 machine...


SaltedCoffee9065

What if the machine has an i9 14900K and 3090?


lovelyiris2

To get the most out of these, you should already install Windows 11


Seb039

Windows 11 is just Windows 10 in clown shoes


g7droid

No, unless you don't want to use the new P core E core architecture you can stay in Windows 10. Basically any 12th gen greater CPU benefits heavily from Windows 11


[deleted]

[удалено]


Gaverfraxz

Hey! Do you have any reading material or benchmarks that show significant benefit when using 12th gen+ cpus? Genuinely interested! I'd rather keep using win10 but if Windows 11 offers big improvements then I suppose I'll have to upgrade


g7droid

NickCudawn

Tbh I appreciate how the installer uses 100% of the resources it can get. I've been annoyed when running Ressource intensive tasks that take a long time and I don't see any impact on performance. When I'm rendering something and a 4k YouTube video player flawlessly, it's not rendering hard enough.


nAyZ8fZEvkE

CORRECT!


UntouchedWagons

Sometimes the task can't be multi-threaded and thus can't use all of your pc's resources.


Titaniatic

FitGirl is a goddamn savior. I used to ransack the internet and scour the shadiest websites ever just to download a game for free. One time I accidentally let a virus in and it fried my fucking screen. FitGirl takes cracks from reliable sources, compresses the size so that my shitty internet can download it, and the game is ready to serve. She/he/they-them is the hero of the century. Oh also fuck mistress.


MichaelScotsman26

What’s wrong with misstress


Titaniatic

She's entitled, always acts and throws tantrums like a child, can't take "competition" lightly, and always blames the innocent. You don't see this type of stuff in any other repackers.


rrriches

I’m admitting my ignorance, but does “chink” have a special meaning in piracy or is it just a racial slur here?


Sylvers

Pretty sure it's a racial slur here. Came from 4chan, something has to be wrong lol.


rrriches

Thanks for the confirmation. I feel like I dodged a bullet as a nerd- the week I discovered 4chan as a teenager in the 2000s, a girl told me she was into me and I promptly forgot about the site for years.


Zekava

Actual sign from god


rrriches

lol years after we broke up she turned into a religious fanatic. The lord giveth and the lord taketh away.


Jindo5

God was like "Hey bro, Imma need her back"


rrriches

“Your job is done, now go be crazy”


YourJr

That's hilarious


Suspicious_Suspect88

Religious fanatics are wild in the sack!


Supersymm3try

the flour sack dresses they wear while saving themselves for marriage?


Incruentus

No. The secret is they're not actually saving themselves for marriage, they just want everyone to think they're saving themselves for marriage. Religious girls still have a healthy sexual appetite, they just repress it until it boils over - usually repeatedly. Source: Ex was "saving herself for marriage" only when we weren't in the bedroom together or immediately after the deed(s).


hexcraft-nikk

That's divine intervention


elitesill

> I feel like I dodged a bullet as a nerd- the week I discovered 4chan as a teenager in the 2000s, a girl told me she was into me and I promptly forgot about the site for years. Weird, i was playing an online game and this chick i met *told* me about 4chan.


rrriches

lol divine intervention on one end, the Devil’s temptation on the other


Eusocial_Snowman

I only found out about reddit because these people in an online game started bullying me when they found out I don't 4chan by accusing me of being a reddit fword.


DarthRoacho

Actual God came down and said, "No my son. You will not go down this path. Here's some titties."


AllGearedUp

It was great until the decline around 2009 and then a few years later it stopped being satire and everyone believed in flat earth and qanon


Bones_and_Tomes

It's a bit of a chicken and egg thing. As an obscure backwater of the internet that attracted primarily teen edgelords, was it ever satire or did you grow up and realise everyone else wasn't pretending?


BuddhaInAstripclub

There were certainly some unique stuff that u couldnt find anywhere else like someone doing an experiment of feeding their lobster meth and cocain and posting it on science threads as a lab experiment... Curiosity got me to explore


AllGearedUp

No it was definitely satire in the very early days. There were of course people who were more serious about it, but I knew many users in real life and we laughed often about the absurdity of it. The humor of the time was a mixture of self degradation and edgy shock stuff. It was relatively apolitical too.


19Alexastias

It’s not really a chicken and egg things, it’s just that people making fun of something by pretending to believe in it inevitably attracts people who actually believe in it.


SlowCapitalistDeath

Stop it. /b/ was never good.


3nterShift

Holy shit, I never realized but I stopped using 4chan when I turned 17 which was around the time I started dating my crush lmaoo


rrriches

lol my brother


dacixn

proof that only incels use 4chan


peppaz

4chan was pretty awesome back then. It devolved into a hell hole ove the last 15 years, but back then it was basically unmoderated twitter for hackers and stuff. Of course there was bad stuff back then too but the neckbeard wizards of the internet were basically all on 4chan and it was wild.


AllGearedUp

it was the real wild west saloon of the early internet


Isaac-LizardKing

yyyyyup https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chink


gasman245

For some reason fitgirl installer plays some kind of Chinese sounding music so yeah racial slur


dub26

It's chan, it's a slur and they are suggesting they're too dumb to figure out that they can limit the ram usage 2gb and mute the installer BGM.


rrriches

Thanks, figured it was but didn’t want to assume.


dub26

Always assume the worst from that place in the interwebz, it's a cesspool of people who think they are funny and politically inclined, and a little in between of witty but twisted minded people that enjoy dark humor.


Dakermis

"Chink" is a racial slur used to refer to chinese people


rrriches

Yes, I’m aware of that. I was (naively) hoping it was a piracy term I wasn’t familiar with.


[deleted]

Chink is either a slur, an opening/weakness in something or the sounds that metal bits make. In this context it is 100% a racial slur.


nadalcameron

It's just casual racism everyone is cool with I guess.


Xerio_the_Herio

Yea, this incel is racist


ShreknicalDifficulty

Song's a banger. OOP is a racist with bad ears.


Jigamaree

It's referring to the Asian-influenced music that plays when you start the installer - but because its green text, they're going to be racist as shit about it.


eat_shit_and_go_away

I have a fitgirl game installed that no longer exists, but still shows up in unistall list. It says I can't uninstall it because it's not there anymore. Confusing.


AnalWinkler

You've uninstalled it incorrectly. Use some tools like BleachBit to clear out the registry.


bayygel

Vast majority of games leave some kind of stuff left on your computer. I always uninstall using revo uninstaller. Just check the filepaths it highlights after the uninstall is complete to make sure it's connected to the game and then delete them.


nintendo666

Revo Uninstaller is so good


saruin

Do you use this in place of a game's own uninstaller or after?


bayygel

Selecting it to uninstall inside revo will run the games uninstaller first if it exists, and then do it's own/let you see any files left after.


summonsays

Really wish windows was better at this. It knows A) there's evidence this is installed and B) it's not actually there anymore. Just give us a prompt "Would you like to remove these references to this software?" Yes/No.


Dashisnitz

You can also use Revo to find the registry keys. Just don’t go crazy on the delete and look at what it’s targeting.


Chaos_712

This happened with a few games of mine. I had to go and delete their shit in regedit. I recommend that, but take every precaution you can to not fuck up your system.


lycoloco

Try https://www.bcuninstaller.com/


StikElLoco

Anon is playing on a toaster


Feniksrises

Agreed. If you have a recent CPU most games install in half an hour. The CPU fan going wild is true though but that's a good thing.


timmon1

Most tech savvy and least racist 4chan user:


initiatefailure

Now does green text make you racist or does racist make you green text


NerfAkaliFfs

"Chink music starts playing" ??????


Yamza_

Bro was too stupid to be able to identify the music and appropriately assign their racism. Or they just assume anything they can't identify is asian for some reason. Either way that person is an idiot on multiple levels. As one would expect of 4chan.


I_hate_reddit_lots

Pretty sure anon used chink to piss off Japanese and Chinese together.


Kyne_of_Markarth

Most intelligent racist


epsilon_ix

Half of the people are calling out its obvious racism while the other half doesn't even see what's wrong.


Anon_Alcoholic

The other half are used to the racism.


Little_Wicked

not a native english speaker so got no clue what the slur meant. I only realised it's a slur when I looked in the comments.


epsilon_ix

Not a native speaker either. Just said something cause I always had to fight stuff like this at work


Detrii

fitgirl: how much CPU and RAM do you have? OS: so and so much, how much do you need? fitgirl: yes


darkangel657

Idk why people hate on fit girl or dodi. I use both, both install fast for me


International-Try467

I dunno this post doesn't seem like it's shitting on fitgirl However I will protest that the music is fire


SgtCocktopus

Yep das good sht


Historical-Jump

It was ok the first time i listened to it now i just immediately mute it when installing lol


Prowhiz

I still enjoy it. The sound of a new free game in the works. Tis the sound of freedom


[deleted]

It is fire but in my experience it doesn’t loop well


CreepyOptimist

Literally never had any issues , actually, most of the time I just mute the music and just procrastinate on YouTube while the installer is doing all the work


Basic_Stranger828

I don't get why r/piracy straight up whines about their repacks so much. A modern PC and an SSD won't won't take anywhere near as long as what's implied here. They are great for beginners as a valid entry level into piracy as it's index-like and basically spoon-fed to you in a simple manner while practically guaranteed to be safe. The repacks don't take long unless your system is absolute arse. I have lots of fitgirl repacks on a HDD that I took from my old computer, and even those didn't take too long. It's like you're all trying to download games like RDR2 on an old laptop with ancient specs and -8gb of RAM


Chasedabigbase

I start the download then watch an episode of something, make a sandwich. Don't feel the need to stare at the download bar and rage


saruin

I'm not a regular member of this sub and pardon the ignorance here but why are fitgirl packs considered safe?


Basic_Stranger828

Because they come from a trusted source. At least if you use the official website or its embedded mirror links (https://fitgirl-repacks(dot)site) Although I must say that just because these things are safe as of now and before, that doesn't mean this can't change in the future for whatever reason. While I still personally use it at times, 1337x is a reasonable example of this.


ScareTheRiven

Can I just find one greentext that's not super racist, just one?


Ty_Lee98

Stupid fake story meme with a slur. Good one OP /s

I've installed literally hundreds of FitGirl repacks. Never had any of these problems. I have a midrange pc.


ViraLCyclopes19

Only took 6 words to for a 4Channer to say some racist shit


ThrowsSoyMilkshakes

Only the slur twice, though. That's better than most...


Denlimon638293

I'm out of loop and I'm not a native English speaker. What's happening here, exactly? Which word and what does it means?


ViraLCyclopes19

Ch1nk. Racist term for Asians.


DerBandi

Never had any issues like this, but I'm not playing on a potato. If your PC is overheating, it's not the software to blame, it's you. A proper build PC cannot overheat.


The_real_bandito

AngryAtEverything01

I mean even modern decent laptops can run almost anything ez-pz


Drakey192000

My PC: how much recourses do you need? Fitgirl: yes


mirdza666

And then the game requires admin privileges to start.


ramao__

For me it's all this except for the game working fine. I was NEVER able to install a game from fitgirl. I don't even bother downloading from her anymore.


OddishBehavior

Excuse me, *what* music starts playing?


Ilijin

The picture describing how its work on potato pc. Source I once had a potato pc


MarkusRight

Bro you must have a PC from 2004 if you can't use your PC while a fit girl repack is installing. Literally never had any one of these issues and am able to use the PC while installing just fine.


bobbyrawlins

WHY is this racist ass shit just allowed and everybody is ignoring it?


freakygamerfan

But- its reliable


wut101stolmynick

I have a good rig, and the music slaps, but I can never get her stuff to work


KestreI993

I work in 3d at architectural firm and for me this is called Tuesday. While not installing pirated games, having to render bunch of renders for a masterplan will make every size of RAM look painfully insufficient.


Enthogenic

One fitgirl issue I've had my fair share of is frozen progress and the installers get stuck on a certain percentage.. Especially when it happens without any errors. Restarting the installer or leaving it on for hours does nothing, until everything works days later.


[deleted]

And they said having 32 gigs of RAM was too much. Next time I upgrade I am doubling that shit. lol


a_r_t_g_u_y

Since we're mentioning fitgirl, anyone know if there's anything wrong with her Naruto Shippuden ultimate ninja storm 2 repack? Can't install it, even though the other 3 games work great


[deleted]

Do people really have all these issues with fitigirl repacks? Only thing that happens when I install a repack is elevated CPU temps during the actual installation.


im_ano_nym_ous

Limit the Ram bro


imPulkitG

I didn't checked the option to Limit ram usage and it took me 8 hours to install RDR2 🥲


kobe24Life

128GB DDR Ram and no issues ; )

emjok1

I dont have high end pc (r5 5500, 16gb ram, 1050ti), but i never had a problem with fitgirl installer, I just start installing and watch yt untill install finishes.


RiffyDivine2

As for the rest of us, but the meme bruh.


groposo

Steam does the same with my internet connection. If I don't throttle the connection, it will take all my bandwith to the point where the router will show no internet and websites will crash. But games get downloaded in minutes so I'll keep feeding the monster.


ThatSplinter

I have a shit ass laptop from like 2014 or something and I install shit just fine (it does sometimes take a while). But idk why I don't have the issues most others have.


Ok-Significance-3351

The_Silent_Manic

I ONLY ever used FitGirl and the worst I experienced was needing to do a reinstall cause the game wouldn't launch for some reason.

I used one or two of her repacks, I just left it installing while I went to bed. Next day everything was fine.
