TMP Free Space During Install?

[e30G]

Hello,

I'm trying to reinstall the game on my Linux partition, however I keep running out of space on my tmp folder. I currently have 4GB left there but the drive I want to install the game to has 19GB remaining. I also tried installing it on another drive with several hundred GBs remaining but it keeps filling up my cache/tmp before the installer runs.

Is there a way to run the installer while using a different folder for temporary files?

Thanks!

I don't know if install has hardcoded /tmp or it uses enviroment settings. Anyway, try temporarily changing your tmp directory location: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1...t-tmp-location

Welcome back Galynn, technically that shouldn't happen, 4GB is more than enough to get it going, my suspect is a corrupted installation medium, have you tried redownloading the newest version available or are you trying the install with some old copy? Either way, try the above suggestion. I have my doubts though. Good luck.

Edit: It might also help if you mention what distro, version and such.

Like stated above, a fresh installer might just do it. If it still doesnt try to reinstall the game and delete all the previous files in folder C:/Program Files etc etc whatsoever (i.e. where old files were stored) and run the installer again. hope it gets solved for you and

Thanks! This file was downloaded off the torrent from NGD's site about a month and a half ago. I'll try to re-download the installer from the website and see if that works.

I found it strange how the installer ate up 4GB while extracting the installation files. You may be right about it being corrupt.

I'm looking forward to trying the new balance update.

My advise: don't install it from installer. Just download the launcher, put into any directory and run it. Launcher itself will download everything needed. This will also help you save some bandwidth, because you won't download 'old' resources with installer which will be then replaced by an update.

Thanks! That worked.

Welcome back, Galynn!

The game's sdbs are around 4.2 GB so that might be your problem. Yes, downloading the launcher as you've been told and setting up "download all resources at once" can be a solution.

Nowadays, having only 4 GB for /tmp is not a good choice for a gaming PC.

I disagree on that, 4GB for /tmp is more than the recommended and usual sizes.
/tmp is meant as an temporarly storage for application data such as lockfiles, current configuration and such stuff and normal apllications are using just a few kB up to some MB for that.
/tmp is not the place to extract 4,2GB of data at once!

I have like 20 linux games here and several large applications using more than 5GB of disk space. Regnum is the only one that extracts its installation sources to /tmp. This is an absolut incorrect behaviour and causes problems in many systems. Default sizes for /tmp are usually around 2GB.

many modern Linux distributions don't even have a physical /tmp directory, they are using tmpfs instead of it. This means that everything what is stored in /tmp is just written in the memory (RAM) and not to the harddisc. Good luck with storing 4,2GB in the RAM to install Regnum.
@NGD: you should really reconsider this installation procedure.

We are poor and can only use non-licensed cross-platform installers
