How To Update Any FitGirl Repack Game Smoothly Without Errors (2025) | Full Tutorial
Updating a FitGirl repack can feel like walking a tightrope sometimes. Won’t lie, I’ve had moments where things go sideways—corrupted files, crashes, missing stuff, you name it. But if you follow a solid process, it’s not too bad. The goal here is to update your game without breaking anything or ending up in a mess of errors like “ISDone.dll” or endless verification loops. This guide’s designed to work for pretty much any setup—whether you’re on a low-end laptop or a beefy gaming rig—and by the end, you should have the latest version up and running without a hitch.
How to Update Your FitGirl Repack Game Safely
Method 1: Download and Extract the Update Correctly
The first step is grabbing the latest update files from the official FitGirl repping website. Not sure why it’s so tempting to grab files randomly or from shady sources, but sticking to the official link helps avoid unnecessary headaches. Once downloaded, locate the .rar files—more often than not, they’re in your Downloads folder. Right-click and choose Extract to—preferably into a new folder like “Update2025”—so you keep everything organized. This is usually done with 7-Zip or WinRAR.
If your extraction isn’t working smoothly, make sure you’re not running the archive with a program that’s weirdly bugged or conflicting (sometimes antivirus can interfere). On some setups, extraction fails the first time, then works after a reboot or closing background processes related to ZIP tools.
Method 2: Find Your Game’s Installation Folder
This step is crucial. You need to point the update tool to the right spot—your game’s install directory. Usually, that’s inside C:\Program Files\ or G:\Games\, but it depends. The easiest way is to right-click your game shortcut on the desktop and choose Open file location. From there, you’ll probably see the launcher (like Game.exe or Setup.exe). If you’re not sure, look around for the folder where the game’s actual files are stored. Because of course, Windows likes to hide things behind layers of shortcuts and weird app folders, so take your time.
Method 3: Check Current Game Version Before Updating
Knowing whether you’re on the latest version can save frustration. Right-click the game’s launcher, select Properties, then go to the Details tab. Here, you’ll see the version number. If it matches the latest listed on the official site or in the update notes, you’re good. If not, it means the update didn’t apply or something’s off.
Method 4: Running the Update Application
This part is where things sometimes get weird. Open the folder where you extracted the update files. Usually, there’s an executable like Update.exe or Install.exe. Double-click it, select your language if prompted, then carefully browse to your game’s install folder. Sometimes the updater auto-detects it, but if not, point it manually.
Be aware: if you’re running into “access denied” errors or power user issues, try running the updater as administrator (right-click, Run as administrator). That can solve some permission messes. Also, if your antivirus is being overprotective, consider temporarily disabling it during the update—just don’t forget to turn it back on afterward.
Method 5: Complete the Installation & Verify Files
Finish the install process following the prompts. Once completed, it’s a good idea to verify your files—most launchers (like FitGirl’s or RepackLoader) offer a “Verify files” option. If not, manually check that the files look correct—no missing DLLs, size matches, etc.
On one setup, I’ve noticed that the verification step sometimes gets stuck or failed if antivirus is quarantining something, so keep an eye out for that. Restarting your PC often helps, especially if updates aren’t appearing as they should.
Method 6: Launch and Confirm the Update
Finally, go back to your desktop shortcut, right-click, and select Open file location. Double-click the launcher (like Game.exe) and see if the version number matches what the update should’ve provided. Sometimes, you might need to clear cache or temporary files if the game still shows the old version, but that’s rare.
Extra Tips & Common Pitfalls
- If you get errors like “ISDone.dll” or “Out of memory,” check your free disk space—at least 20-30GB free is a safe bet.
- Sometimes, antivirus like Windows Defender or other security tools block or delete parts of the update. Add exceptions if needed.
- Always back up your game folder before you start, just in case something weird happens—especially if you’ve modded anything or tweaked the files.
- On some machines, the update process might fail the first time, then work right after a reboot or after manually restarting your PC. Weird, but true.
Wrap-up
The whole process might seem like a hassle, but sticking to these steps really reduces the chances of ending up with corrupt files or broken installs. Once you get the hang of where to point the updater and how to verify your files, updates become a lot less stressful. Keep in mind, Windows has a habit of throwing curveballs—so patience is key. With luck, everything should go smoothly.
Summary
- Download official update files from the official site.
- Extract files using 7-Zip or WinRAR into a separate folder.
- Locate your game folder by right-clicking the shortcut and choosing Open file location.
- Check current version if unsure.
- Run the updater as administrator, pointing it to your game folder.
- Verify files after installation and launch your game to confirm the update.
Fingers crossed this helps
Updating a game can be surprisingly frustrating, but once you get a routine down, it’s mostly smooth sailing. Hopefully, this shaves off a few hours for someone and keeps your game running without headaches. Good luck, and live long and patch!
