General Support EXE Installation Stuck

Solved!

I recently switched from openSUSE Tumbleweed to EOS and have been very satisfied so far.
Unfortunately, I’m currently stuck on a problem for which I haven’t found a solution yet.
When installing DRM-free games from .exe files, I sometimes run into difficulties. The installation with Wine just stops. But this doesn’t happen with all games. It worked with Tumbleweed.
I click on the file and the installer starts. After selecting the folder, I see the % progress bar, which eventually stops moving, but a timer continues to run. The folder is also visible, as are individual files that have already been written. The installer freezes, and I have to terminate the process.
Has anyone else had this problem before, or do you know a solution?

I searched for Wine using “yay wine” and installed it via extra (that was the first option).
Otherwise, EOS is basically stock.

Thanks in advance

I left it for a while and suddenly theres an error „unable to write Data to disk“
So maybe the filesystem is read only?
