Installation hangs on 'checking directory size' about jagex-launcher-linux HOT 5 CLOSED

Had the same problem, this worked for me. Cheers

@saladuit There are some software/hardware configurations where the jagex installer hangs like this and we aren't entirely sure why.

To get you unblocked in the meantime, you can try this method:

1. Grab the jagex-launcher-provided-files.yml here https://github.com/nmlynch94/jagex-launcher-linux/blob/main/resources/jagex-installer-provided-files.yml
2. Go to the youtube guide by c00k linked on the jagex support page https://help.jagex.com/hc/en-gb/articles/13413514881937-Downloading-the-Jagex-Launcher-on-Linux
3. In the description, download the jagex-launcher files from mediafire. I have used these files in the past without issue, but your call if you want to trust it. The other option here is to use a windows 10 VM/installation to zip up the installer files as described in his video.
4. Run the lutris installer with this script, and for the first file selector choose the jagexlauncher.zip download from the youtube video/your VM

It should launch the jagex launcher and ask to apply an update, then allow you to login.

After uninstalling runelite launcger and downloading all dependencies it worked! Cheers @IcelandicIcecream & @nmlynch94.

For future strugglers, the installation should be very quick.

@saladuit Thank you for reporting back! A couple notes: Lutris recommends to use this for wine dependencies https://github.com/lutris/docs/blob/master/WineDependencies.md. Also, I believe that error was saying gamemode was not installed properly on the system. If others have that error and following saladuit's steps don't solve it, you can likely get around it by disabling Feral Gamemode in the lutris game settings #42 (comment).

Installation proceeded correctly, but I still get the following message, when trying to start the launcher:
