I am trying to install Bazzite but keep getting a ZSTD Corrupted Data error immediately after selecting the installer (both standard and Basic Graphics mode). The system hangs for about 3 minutes after the error and then soft-locks, requiring a hard reboot.

System Specs:

• RAM: 16GB DDR4 (Single Stick)
• OS: Currently on AtlasOS (Windows)
• Hardware Settings: Secure Boot Disabled, Fast Boot Disabled, UEFI Mode ON.

What I have already tried:

• Verified the ISO SHA hash (matches original).
• Tried multiple USB drives.
• Used BalenaEtcher, Fedora Media Writer, and Ventoy (including MemDisk mode).
• Attempted "Basic Graphics Mode" from the GRUB menu.
• Swapped USB ports.

Despite these steps, the decompression error persists. I’m stuck on how to bypass this corruption error during the kernel load. I just wanna game and get every drop of performance but the setup for this os is pretty hard.
