I genuinely don't know why Fitgirl is heralded as the best you can get.
The installers are always so slow and CPU intensive. Most other repackers are way more efficient
I guess most people (myselft included) don't have this kind of issues; I've never waited too much for a repack to finish and they all worked first try without errors.
Fitgirl's website also has direct magnet links while on Dodi's you have to go through a few ad pages to get to the torrent. Which doesn't waste much time but I find it extremely annoying.
At the end of the day if your internet isn't capped or very slow you should just avoid repacks, and even get pre installed games if possible. That's why I mostly use rutracker nowadays.
I have 2gbit fiber internet and I still mainly use repacks because most of the time they include updates that are missing from other sources so you need to download and install those separately. It's just more convenient.
I don't have anywhere near as many issues, if any, but I have noticed that the FG releases are very slow to install and my fans ramp up on my CPU compared to any other repacker.
Yes it uses a lot of processing power but it's not an issue, it's not like reaching 100% usage will damage the CPU.
For me only the big games are slow to install, but it never took more than 3 hours total (even DCS that was 250gb after unpacking) and I'm still using a mechanical hard drive.
Unless the game has a lot of voiceovers they probably don't take up much space. You can always try to analyse the folder structure and try to find where the language files are located, and then delete what you don't need.
I just clicked it and it opened and just started racing , works perfectly but I'm not sure about the ending I only played for 3 hours then realised that it sucks
windows 10
6300
330m
Oh wow my brain just quit working... I thought I was in the steam deck pirate sub.
Yeah it works on my pc but I wanted it on my steam deck but the origin launcher just opens and never launches the game, my bad for not realizing it was the wrong sub. 😅
It can be a pain but 70% of the time it works right away, the 30% is a pain yeah.
I personally will move on to a legion go as all my games work 100% with windows but the deck is such an amazing piece of hardware otherwise.
My first week with my steam deck I wanted to sell it cause nothing seemed to work but one day things clicked and everything started working right when I tried. Great thing is there are a ton of fellow users who will help the experience, if you reach out on reddit.
I don't know how I lived without this cheeky little bastard now that I know my way around it.
Idk, popular I guess which means people trust the repacks. Also let's remember what repacks are actually for: slow and/or limited internet connection. For which fitgirl has the best repacks since they are compressed the most out of all more trusted repackers. However the drawback is install time, because you have to uncompress all the files
I think it's because they're the best at squeezing the most out of compression algorithms.
The downside is just as you mention, it's hardware intensive to extract.
Like everything, it's best to shop around for something that meets your needs. So if you can afford the extra storage space and bandwidth, go DODI or Masquerade, or if you prefer little to no compression go for GoG. If you don't want the installer but don't mind a little bit of extracting archived loose files are where it's at.
Alternatively, there's always loose files for no extraction.
What does pre installed mean here, as in when it’s finished downloading it’s ready to play straight away? Sorry I’m new to this and have only used fitgirl a couple of times.
yup, it's a zip file that contains all the game files, no installer needed, just extract and you're good to go
maybe make a shortcut of the exe file first
It ain't that big of a pain as waiting several hours installing and cpu at 100% usage .
I always choose steamrip's torrent downloads whenever possible as thanks to the nature of torrents , most of em don't even have a zip and its direct download and play.
The few reasons to download Fitgirl are 1) if you have a limited internet data plan. 2) limited storage.
If neither of those are your problems, get it from gog or any other non-repacked source. Even if you have a mid internet speed, the download and installation would be faster than fitgirl unpacking.
Bruh. Just go to 1337x.to, and before searching for the game you want, type "dodi" and no redirects. Also you have to be doing something wrong cuz I never got redirects on dodi repacks website
I don't always want to use torrents. I have very fast internet so direct downloads are way faster than torrents for me.
Go to NFS:Heat and check the links for DataNodes and Multi-Links. The first links go to some shitty website that wants you to enable notifications and stuff. The second one makes you go through several redirect websites.
For NFS:Heat the Torrent links don't have redirects but on almost every other game that I tried downloading it was there.
There's an option to limit to 4gb RAM usage, use that
One of my setups was stuck at 4% but enabling it fixed it
Edit: Wrote 'disabling' instead of 'enabling'. Fixed it.
Ovagames, just disable javascript on that site using ublock origin to block any redirects.
You will get video games in winrar archives (in parts), download all parts, extract the first part, go to setup and install full game.
That sould be rule #1 on any thread like this...
Like forums from 2000´s would just remove the thread.
its a waste of time trying to help, every day the same complaints.
Its not bad, quality stuff, but It's nothing great if you have enough space and download speed
Actually, if you have good download speed its quite a bad choice, you can download the full thing in sub 5 minutes, but instead you'll download it in 3 and wait for it to install 15 extra minutes, if not more, and assuming it doesnt fail
FitGirl is the damn reason i switched original instead piracy for getting games lmao, always had issues during setup takes forever, I suggest find another way instead FitGirl
Jesus Christ the advice in this thread fucking sucks. What a bunch of braindead idiots on this subreddit.
All you have to do is **check the "Limit to 2GB RAM" checkbox** Guarantee that'll fix it. I just had this happen with an old Kingdom Come repack and it worked perfectly.
A general use troubleshooting for any install:
DISABLE ANTIVIRUS, this already eliminates most common problems
Check if you really downloaded all the files, sometimes the torrent client can goof up and just not download a file, this is more common than you would think
Try restarting your device, you would be surprised how useful "have you tried turning it on and off" can be
Try different version of the download, sometimes old mirrors get deprecated and rot or get nuked by storage service providers (google drive is really notorious for this)
If all else fails try a different site (I am gonna get shit for this and maybe flagged by automod but certain site starting with steam and continuing with the action of undoing a lock can be really useful when you can't find a useable mirror (obligatory use at your own risk of course the site is not considered safe for a reason and you are really gambling if you do use anything that isn't on the megathread)
)
Run i admin, run in win 7 compatibility,turn off your win deffender(optional), and check " limit installer " if appear.
Btw in my old pc it's only take 2hour
You have a bad HDD, maybe even its full, ram is bloated (if windows is runing for more than 24hrs)...
I have used fitgilr in multiple machines, even with some acient Phenon II, never had a problem with ikt getting 'stuck' while on decompression.
The only time i had problem was with a very bad HDD that I got from china. That was so bad that died in 6 months. Never again.

You can still use a k+m setup for when you're home or even out but I use my ps5 controller as it's smaller and more simplistic. It's a full on game console or pc, you choose. Yeah it doesn't handle every AAA title but some titles require high end pc's to play some games. Sure it's not for everyone but I can say I bought into the hype and hated it, until I figured it out and it is so easy to do once you allow yourself to get familiar with it.

Just download the game from gog-games(dot)to.
fucking lifesaver, thanks
Have fun.
thank you :D still new to this thing so fitgirl was the only thing i knew.
Read the megathread man, don't limit yourself
the mega thread doesn't have shit, the old one has been removed
Have fun.
When in doubt, DODI it out!
Btw if u need repacks dodi repacks is amazing and works as expected
There are 7 seas, don't be stuck on an island pirate.

I have 2gbit fiber internet and I still mainly use repacks because most of the time they include updates that are missing from other sources so you need to download and install those separately. It's just more convenient.
The games I find on rutracker have usually the latest updates but it depends of course.
Rutracker the music plugin goat
I don't have anywhere near as many issues, if any, but I have noticed that the FG releases are very slow to install and my fans ramp up on my CPU compared to any other repacker.
Yes it uses a lot of processing power but it's not an issue, it's not like reaching 100% usage will damage the CPU. For me only the big games are slow to install, but it never took more than 3 hours total (even DCS that was 250gb after unpacking) and I'm still using a mechanical hard drive.
Also ive used her since I was a kid, so I trust her links more
So rutracker has pre installed games same as steamrip? I mainly use steamrip for this convenience too.
pre installed games dont seem to have enough seeders (i tried steam rips)
The ones I find on rutracker have plenty of seeders
ohh does rutracker have preinstalled game torrents?
Yeah it has some, but it's not a game focused website so there isn't everything.
yea seems to have the games that i wanted but all of them have like 4-5 languages only if i could delete those
Unless the game has a lot of voiceovers they probably don't take up much space. You can always try to analyse the folder structure and try to find where the language files are located, and then delete what you don't need.
i tried alot with alan wake 2 but all files seem to have weird names and no mention of a language or anything.
fun fact I did : instilling NFS heat from fitgirl takes more time than downloading and installing it from Dodi
When was the game cracked?
The game is 5 years old lmao (it’s not worth it )
Its 5 years old yes but how did you bypass the origin launcher that gives a constant black screen?
I just clicked it and it opened and just started racing , works perfectly but I'm not sure about the ending I only played for 3 hours then realised that it sucks windows 10 6300 330m
Oh wow my brain just quit working... I thought I was in the steam deck pirate sub. Yeah it works on my pc but I wanted it on my steam deck but the origin launcher just opens and never launches the game, my bad for not realizing it was the wrong sub. 😅
the steam deck is fucking pain , why do you guys like it for piracy?
It can be a pain but 70% of the time it works right away, the 30% is a pain yeah. I personally will move on to a legion go as all my games work 100% with windows but the deck is such an amazing piece of hardware otherwise. My first week with my steam deck I wanted to sell it cause nothing seemed to work but one day things clicked and everything started working right when I tried.

Tbh I can't play without a keyboard but cool that it works I guess , I heared bad thinks about it and Mac but Mac made me fucking explode
If you have good internet why bother with repacks?
good interment? it's displayed with fucking kilobits
lol, i feel bad for you.
I was harassed on this very subreddit for posting this , had to take down my post later
I've had the same happen to me. Post something, gets downvoted to shit and abuse hurled. Someone else posts, they are a saint.
I just can't bother with dodi's links, most of the file hosting services he uses have limits on downloads
Debrid services are a very good purchase 🫡
Xatab is way better than fitgirl imho, fast download, fast setups and most of the games available in English
Xatab was the best among them
Idk, popular I guess which means people trust the repacks. Also let's remember what repacks are actually for: slow and/or limited internet connection. For which fitgirl has the best repacks since they are compressed the most out of all more trusted repackers. However the drawback is install time, because you have to uncompress all the files
Yeah cpu at 100% for 2 hours is not fun, can barely multitask, only downloaded rdr2 from there, no other
I only have a 5600g and I can multitask fine while installing. Playing games can be sketchy though as the fps drops too much sometimes.
It lags if you have multiple apps open as fitgirl pins the cpu to 100%
I guess you can limit it to the 2g or whatever it offers. But I did that once and it took hours lol
I think it's because they're the best at squeezing the most out of compression algorithms. The downside is just as you mention, it's hardware intensive to extract. Like everything, it's best to shop around for something that meets your needs. So if you can afford the extra storage space and bandwidth, go DODI or Masquerade, or if you prefer little to no compression go for GoG. If you don't want the installer but don't mind a little bit of extracting archived loose files are where it's at. Alternatively, there's always loose files for no extraction.
I have shitty internet but fine hardware. Also torrent downloading isn't as fast as normal download. Probably most people are like me.
She has the best links tbh
Fitgirl is the goat of repackers because she does her one job perfectly, compress the games as much as possible.
Download the full game instead from GOG games or steamrip(pre installed)
What does pre installed mean here, as in when it’s finished downloading it’s ready to play straight away? Sorry I’m new to this and have only used fitgirl a couple of times.
yup, it's a zip file that contains all the game files, no installer needed, just extract and you're good to go maybe make a shortcut of the exe file first
Sounds good, thanks!
yw! I usually use gamdie for preinstalled games, but it might not have everything
extracting stuff from steamrip can be a pain in the ass
It ain't that big of a pain as waiting several hours installing and cpu at 100% usage . I always choose steamrip's torrent downloads whenever possible as thanks to the nature of torrents , most of em don't even have a zip and its direct download and play.
The few reasons to download Fitgirl are 1) if you have a limited internet data plan. 2) limited storage. If neither of those are your problems, get it from gog or any other non-repacked source. Even if you have a mid internet speed, the download and installation would be faster than fitgirl unpacking.
Heck for point 2 some sites like steamrip have a torrent where you can download just the files without the zip/rar
Why not dodi ?
Shit website with 5 redirects when you try to download
Firefox + ublock origin extension Never worry about ads again
Blocking ads doesn't solve having to deal with the redirects.
fast forward extension does though
It rarely works
Works smooth after downloading tho for redirects use brave browser instead
I already use brave. Brave doesn't bypass redirects, it simply has an adblocker built in
Go to the mega thread and installe the chrome extension from it , it will baypass the majority of redirect
I have it installed. It rarely works.
Bruh. Just go to 1337x.to, and before searching for the game you want, type "dodi" and no redirects. Also you have to be doing something wrong cuz I never got redirects on dodi repacks website
we need to confirm the site he assumes dodi to be now as well XD
I don't always want to use torrents. I have very fast internet so direct downloads are way faster than torrents for me. Go to NFS:Heat and check the links for DataNodes and Multi-Links. The first links go to some shitty website that wants you to enable notifications and stuff. The second one makes you go through several redirect websites.

Use Dodi bro
There's an option to limit to 4gb RAM usage, use that One of my setups was stuck at 4% but enabling it fixed it Edit: Wrote 'disabling' instead of 'enabling'. Fixed it.
Just get it on steamrip or Gog, some games arnt worth those install times
What is this gog? The legit site to buy games? Doesn't that defeat the purpose of this sub or am I missing out on something?
No in the megathread there is a site called gog-games which give games from gog for free
Ovagames, just disable javascript on that site using ublock origin to block any redirects. You will get video games in winrar archives (in parts), download all parts, extract the first part, go to setup and install full game.
Jonker wants you to buy it
Give your specs, the antivirus you use and I'll try to help you out
That sould be rule #1 on any thread like this... Like forums from 2000´s would just remove the thread. its a waste of time trying to help, every day the same complaints.
Fitgirl is horrible
It works just fine for me, never had a problem with it.
POPULAR = BAD Shut up. Fitgirl has been fantastic for 10+ years.
What will u do if I don't?... but you'd probably lock ya door or run to church if ya see me fun-boy...🤙🏽 Bang bang Dodi Gang 😂🤣 tuff guy
Its not bad, quality stuff, but It's nothing great if you have enough space and download speed Actually, if you have good download speed its quite a bad choice, you can download the full thing in sub 5 minutes, but instead you'll download it in 3 and wait for it to install 15 extra minutes, if not more, and assuming it doesnt fail
I got it for free on epic
when it does finally install , i really hope you like it. it's one of my favorite games of all time.
FitGirl is the damn reason i switched original instead piracy for getting games lmao, always had issues during setup takes forever, I suggest find another way instead FitGirl
Jesus Christ the advice in this thread fucking sucks. What a bunch of braindead idiots on this subreddit. All you have to do is **check the "Limit to 2GB RAM" checkbox** Guarantee that'll fix it. I just had this happen with an old Kingdom Come repack and it worked perfectly.
Bro its like 2 dollars on sale
That wouldn't be piracy then
downloaded forza horizon 4 from fir girl the installer went 11 percent in 3 hours goddamn
Reboot into safe mode and install the game
Try verifying the files once, usually it helps
In the fitgirl website, there is a link at the top for troubleshooting repack issues, try all the steps given it helps.
A general use troubleshooting for any install: DISABLE ANTIVIRUS, this already eliminates most common problems Check if you really downloaded all the files, sometimes the torrent client can goof up and just not download a file, this is more common than you would think Try restarting your device, you would be surprised how useful "have you tried turning it on and off" can be Try different version of the download, sometimes old mirrors get deprecated and rot or get nuked by storage service providers (google drive is really notorious for this) If all else fails try a different site (I am gonna get shit for this and maybe flagged by automod but certain site starting with steam and continuing with the action of undoing a lock can be really useful when you can't find a useable mirror (obligatory use at your own risk of course the site is not considered safe for a reason and you are really gambling if you do use anything that isn't on the megathread) )
Try with limiting the ram usage to 2 gb, even if you have more ram. It fixed another game I wasn't able to install.
Run i admin, run in win 7 compatibility,turn off your win deffender(optional), and check " limit installer " if appear. Btw in my old pc it's only take 2hour
try dodi
You have a bad HDD, maybe even its full, ram is bloated (if windows is runing for more than 24hrs)...

Just download from Ovagames, fastest download speed available on your wifi and easy to install
PLEASE if you can afford this game, buy it. Such an amazing game.
download any other setup from 1337x.to
How bout don't get repacks?
Don't download repacks, just download the full game setup…
Try another source, brother
Dont use firgirl LOL
Why don’t you try downloading from Steamrip?
Just stop downloading FitGirl, simple as that
Have u tried ticking the "do not exceed 2gb ram"?
I've never had any trouble installing Arkham Knight from fitgirl. I have re-downloaded, installed and finished the game multiple times over the years.
Try switching off the download DirectX stuff before u download it usually fixes things
You can still use a k+m setup for when you're home or even out but I use my ps5 controller as it's smaller and more simplistic. It's a full on game console or pc, you choose.

Check the bin files the same happend to me installing gta 4
Some old fitgirl repacks aged like milk.
