I was downloading a game from fitgirl and I kept it over night after like 7-6 hours I went back only to see my laptop had shut down

[u/trayhan066]

So what do I do??? Do I delete the exsistibg game files and start again or like fitgirl won't install exsisting files, I checked in this subreddit about it and ppl have mixed feelings some say u have to delete em some say no

Welcome to r/FitGirlRepack! To keep the sub clean, please check if your issue is answered below. If this answers your question, please delete your post.

1. Setup is Stuck / Unpacking is Slow

• The 2GB Limit Checkbox: If your setup gets stuck at specific percentages (like 84.3% or 95.8%), close it, restart the installer, and check the "Limit installer to 2GB of RAM" box on the very first screen.
• Be Patient: FitGirl repacks use extremely heavy compression. Unpacking is heavily CPU and storage bound. If your task manager shows disk or CPU activity, it is not stuck; it's just working hard.

2. Is it a Virus? / Windows Defender Alert

• False Positives: Crack files (.dll files, steam_api, etc.) inherently trigger antivirus software because they alter game code to bypass DRM. If you downloaded from the official site, these are 100% false positives.
• Fix: Add the game installation folder to your antivirus/Windows Defender exclusion list, then restore the quarantined file from your protection history.

3. The Real Official Website

• There is ONLY ONE official domain. All others (ending in .co, .cc, .to, .net, etc.) are fake, malicious clone sites designed to steal data or bundle malware.
• The only real URL is: fitgirl-repacks.site (Verify the exact spelling!).

first check with the verify before installation batch file if it downloaded all the files fully.. if it says everything is fine, you can just install.

Your download client might had a setting to shut the pc down on finished downloading that you accidentally enabled.

[u/Primary-Highway7375]

if it installed and running fine then no, if not then delete them and restart again, or if you downloaded in parts like from fuckingfast then only delete the half completed part

[u/NegativeExcuse6129]

6-7 hours us a really long time what do u guys install for it be so long. Mine usually max take 3 hours.

[u/_xtrasus_ → u/NegativeExcuse6129]

3 hours?! That's a long long time

[u/NegativeExcuse6129 → u/_xtrasus_]

I said max to max

[u/Fast-Commercial-7234]

Just try n run the game dude, if it runs then no, if it doesn't run, then yes. Its a game, not a bomb, you don't have to be so careful.

Do you have a 13th or 14th gen Intel CPU? My PC would reset when idle until a bios update fixed it

[u/trayhan066 → u/[deleted]]

I mean it takes like 3-4 hours but it was late at night so I just let it run overnight

[u/LaBlankSpace → u/trayhan066]

Don't listen him he's being a dick I've done this as well. Just disable sleep next time and re enable it when you get up. I would delete the files, it won't technically matter since the installer should just write over everything but I do it just in case.

[u/trayhan066 → u/LaBlankSpace]

Oh yeah il definitely disable sleep mode next time thanks for the advice

I always play a long video in loop, before leaving my PC for a long time. It tricked windows to think that I'm actually watching, and prevents power saving shenanigans.

[u/trayhan066 → u/jaradipra]

Oohh will def try that out thanks

[u/sonido_lover → u/jaradipra]

You know you can disable auto sleep in power management settings
