Just bought the game but the installer is borked :(

GOG's installer pops up a "This system does not meet the minimum requirements" dialog (see attached). I have never seen this before from GOG's installers.

This detection must be faulty, I'm using a fresh wineprefix set to Windows 10, 16GB of RAM, Ryzen 5600, RX 570 and have 500GB of free space.

If I hit "no" and continue the install process then the installer fails to work properly. It only extracts a few megabytes worth of files before saying it's done and asking to launch the game:

$ ls -lh timber/
total 2.3M
39K Oct 13 10:13 EULA.txt
157K Oct 10 15:59 goggame-1711765822.ico
432K Oct 13 10:13 unins000.dat
1.3M Oct 13 10:13 unins000.exe*
327K Oct 10 15:59 webcache.zip

Needless to say the game doesn't launch :D

I'm on wine 9.19

Solved! I had set the new wineprefix to 32 bit. The game is 64 bit. Woops. It would be nice if the error message told me what was wrong, but I guess 32 bit windows installs are now rare enough that GOG doesn't bother testing for that.

Mystery error dialog now ceases, the game installs properly and also launches :) I'll update here if there are any other issues.
