Hello I thought to leave this here, Ive a suggestion that may help speed up some peoples installs and possibly make the installer stable. I installed TTW on MX Linux using Wine with Winetricks and Protontricks and the suggested addons from the faq. It took nearly 3 days to install but no matter what I did on my pc it never crashed, the only thing I didn’t do was play games on Steam but I was able to use Steam with no noticeable issues and at times the processing of files did seem to slow down a little but it overall worked well.
My suggestion is to use a ram drive, in Linux I found a good tool here
https://estarq.github.io/ramdisk/ in the past ive had TTW install crash multiple times on windows it gets frustrating. You really need 32gb’s of ram to do this properly, making a ram drive of about 22gb’s then copying both the New Vegas and FO3 install folder over along with the install files. If anyone with more than 32gb’s ever tries this and wants to install and process the entire mod on ram let me know how it went I imagine it should give a bit of a speed improvement. The only thing I didn’t have on the ram drive was the install folder as its not good running even Linux with 1gb of free ram.
I believe even having the mod install folder alone on a ram drive may offer a stability improvement for those with less than 32gb’s of ram. Also a word of advice for those unfamiliar with ram drives, anything you don’t want to vanish into thin air move or copy it off the drive before shutting down your pc hehe
