Initial Retail Release
Old test results
The test results you have selected are very old and may not represent the current state of Wine.
Selected Test Results (selected in 'Test Results' table below)

What works

  • Ultra High Settings on everything @ ~60+ FPS
  • These settings pertain to the Unified Nvidia X Server Settings
    • Overridden AA Settings to 16x (8xMS, 8xCS) @ ~60+ FPS
    • Overridden AF Settings to 16x @ ~60+ FPS
    • Texture Sharpening Enabled
  • Saving games and resuming them
  • Using addons


What does not

  • Patching to v1.5-DO NOT PATCH, if you havent recompiled Wine from sources (like me) then patching to 1.5 bricks the game. I'm lazy and have no desire to patch so I don't feel left out at all having not recompiled from sources.
    • The only way to get the game working again after i patched was to reinstall Fallout totally.
  • Starting a new game
    1. Fix this by copying in a pre-made save game. If you don't have any (like i did) just go to the link below and download the Pandora save game. The creator of it designed it to skip to the point just before you leave the vault and thus you can choose all your traits and gender.
      1. Link to Pandora Save game
    2. Create the folder /home/YOUR-USER-NAME/My Games/Fallout3/Saves and copy the save file there.
    3. You'll have a "continue" option appear on your menu, click that and enjoy! 
  • Running full screen (Blood spatter glitches the screen in combat)


What was not tested

  • Finishing the main storyline
  • Addons like Operation: Anchorage, and The Pitt

HOWTO

by NSLW on (December 10th 2009)

1) Install Wine-1.1.33 or newer
2) Start text terminal
3) Download winetricks by typing

wget http://winezeug.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/winetricks

4) Install DirectX libraries and native comctl32.dll by typing

sh winetricks d3dx9 cc580

Optionally you may want to set video memory size for your graphic card. How to do this is at UsefulRegistryKeys

 
NOTE about mouse behaviour

Fallout’s mouse doesn’t seem to work correctly with either the mouse patch or these settings.

- The mouse patch: doesn’t work with Fallout’s 1.1.0.35 patch.
- bBackground Mouse -setting: setting it 1 DOES make menus usable, but it’s quite a problem when you run this in windowed mode as when you move enough the mouse, it goes outside the window... I have dualhead so I need/want to run this windowed.
- MouseWarpOverride were thought to fix this problem with bBackground Mouse -setting? Well, just gives problems here. Don’t set it. MIGHT be useful if you have non-patched version. So you gan set to Direct3D registry key MouseWarpOverride="enable" or MouseWarpOverride="force"

 
Sound problems
Wine doesn’t really like pulseaudio, so e.g for Ubuntu users switching to alsa will help. Using OSS — or more properly, alsa’s OSS emulation — helps too, but might cause sound problems (is there such with alsa too?)

 
Games for Windows - Live 3.0 client

­by NSLW on (December 10th 2009)

Patch 1.7 requires Games for Windows - Live 3.0 client. To install it follow these steps:

1) Download msasn1.dll from e.g. here
2) Override msasn1.dll in Wine Configuration. How to Override DLL
3) Download gfwlivesetupmin.exe from e.g. here
4) Install gfwlivesetupmin.exe but without .NET Framework
5) Only set xlive to native in Wine Configuration.
6) Download and install 1.7 patch for Fallout 3

 
Warning

­by NSLW on (December 10th 2009) ­

If you've got CPU with more than two cores then you have to follow these steps:

1) Open ~/My Games/Fallout3/FALLOUT.INI
2) Find bUseThreadedAI=0 and change it to bUseThreadedAI=1
3) Add iNumHWThreads=2 after bUseThreadedAI=1
4) Save file and launch Fallout 3


 
PlayOnLinux
Fallout 3 can be easily installed and patched by PlayOnLinux. You can download PlayOnLinux from here. There is an video made by DaweyYT on YouTube showing installation of Fallout 3 by using PlayOnLinux here.

 
Terribly low FPS in VATS and during speech
by NSLW on (December 13th 2009) ­

It has been reported that the game slows down dramatically when entering VATS or into a speech. The problem hits owners of GeForce 7xxx and older graphic cards. Proposed fixes are:

  • Patch Fallout 3 to the latest version
  • Update driver for your graphic card
  • Apply one of the patches from bug #16816

fix proposed by Bogdan:

  • Set graphic settings higher

WINE 1.1.38 and fallout 3
by Kevin on Monday February 8th 2010, 6:49
there's a sound regression within the newest wine, which prevents many sounds from playing within in fallout 3.
working sounds are restricted to voices (and background music with the appropriate patches).
you will not hear bullet, collisions, jumps, environmental, menu, and other scripted sounds - only speech

Fallout 3 Game of the Year with DLC working
by Skyggen on Sunday January 24th 2010, 20:48
First install wine 1.1.37

Ubuntu wine has a ubuntu repo for karmic I used as Ubuntu Karmic is only 1.1.32 or something.

Then run winecfg just to generate files and default config. Make sure to navigate to the audio tab and select oss and the defaults should be fine.

Then follow the Games for Windows - Live Client as above making sure NOT to install .Net 3.5 because it breaks in wine as of yet.
A bit of clarity for the override.
winecfg -> libraries.
type msasn1 click add, then click edit set native only.
same for xlive.

Then get winetricks and run the sh winetricks d3dx9 cc580 command.

Install off the DVD. Fallout 3 has some sort of Securom BS which appears to break trying to copy it local and install.

Next download and install the 1.7 patch
static.bethsoft.com/fo3/patch/1.7/Fallout3_1.7_English_US.exe

Fallout 3 should launch at this point. Provided you have Disc 1 in the DVD drive and Wine can see it. Otherwise it will fail.

Next we need to get the FalloutLauncher working.

sh winetricks crun2005

Your FalloutLauncher will now be working.

To install the DLC just insert disc 2 into drive and install as normal. You still need disk 1 in the drive when you start it again or it will fail.

Sound is weird unless you install alsa-oss
apt-get install alsa-oss fixes this.

I run fallout with the following command:
aoss wine "C:\Program Files\Bethesda Softworks\Fallout 3\FalloutLauncher.exe"

Karmic Koala
2.6.31-17-generic #54-Ubuntu SMP Thu Dec 10 17:01:44 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux
winehq repo wine v.1.1.37

.Net 3.5 and Securom make this a pain.

Audio in FalloutLauncher and no sound in game
by Amarao on Saturday January 23rd 2010, 16:17
I think, I found a workaround: Game shall be started without launcher. If launcher make sound, no sound be avaible in game (dunno why).

So, go to Fallout3 directory and run it directly ./Fallout3.exe (after settings have been setted in Launcher).

xrandr dual monitor configuration
by Amarao on Saturday January 23rd 2010, 15:55
I found some problems with using dual monitor configuration: FalloutLauncher does not seen any fullscreen resolution (list is empty).

I solve this problem with using a windowed mode (in FalloutLauncher). I think this similar to problems of many games, which one see not a two xrandr screens, but a single very wide screen.

xlive crash on start
by wmute on Friday January 22nd 2010, 14:11
I got fallout 3 (patched to 1.7) started by first disabling games for windows live with disabler that can be found here:
www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=1086
and then copying the xlive.dll from my system32 to fallout3 directory.

That got me to the main menu. Now, if I could just get sound working ...

Why is this rated gold ?
by airtonix on Thursday January 21st 2010, 23:20
It doesn't even run.

1) can't install gamesforwindowslive.
2) spews out millions and millions of lines about failed detection of render mode
3) silenty exits without any indication why it doesn't work

4) howto on this page is missing critical steps to even get to this point.

Ubuntu 9.10 Studio 32-bit w. 2.6.31-16-PAE-kernel
Nvidia 195.22, compiled on system
Wine 1.1.34, compiled on system, no patch but a lot of "winetricks" and GamesForWindowsLive3 + .net 3.5 SP1, using Windows 7 as alias, msasn1.dll added in system-folder
DX9 August 09 using the 3D3 registry-settings on this page
OSS 4.2, compiled on system

Fallout 3 installed through Steam(running on Wine), patched to 1.7.

The game runs fine and is very playable with good framerate and all menus are functional, and the graphics is great @ 1280x1024 @ highest settings, can't see any difference from Windows except a few flickering shadows sometimes.

Works on AMD Athlon X2 3600+ 1.9Ghz - ATI HD 4350 512MB - 2GB 800 Ram - Wine 1.1.33 but add some register keys

I use same register keys for nvidia but modify some values and copy ati files from windows/system32 installation folder to windows/system32 folder in wine directory

Also copy microsoft.net, fonts and system folder from win installation to windows folder in wine

Run regedit and browse to: Current_user/Software/Wine/Direct3D. If Direct3D key doesn’t exist, create it. You may want to set following values:

FalloutLauncher.exe does not start

We have a void problem
by oiaohm on Monday November 9th 2009, 7:11
Patches being used for this program own to this bug
bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15839 that is closed

The patches are not related to the issue what caused this bug to be opened so yes it correct to be closed.

Even worse there is more than 1 solution to the problem.
bugs2.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=24289
bugs2.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=24230
Are two different paths around problem that are not being tested.

Really a new bug needs to be created for this issue or exist bug found covering the issue. Applications seeing the wrong video card information.(Ok better name require) Message posted on to end of bug 15839 pointing to the new bug over this issue. Links to the attachments that works need to be in the bug truly targeting this issue.

At no time should any attachment in bugzilla be disconnected from its bug number it was created on. Makes finding it for updates hard. Or in cases that a bug was valid closed to get in there to find out about any other patches created related that did not relate to why the bug was opened in the first place.

Current patch being used need a code clean up. Without a open bug number this is kinda not going to happen. Without a open bug number patch is not on any path to get merged. Only open bug numbers can be attached to applications to get voted to show need as well. Its being lost to the void.

This has just been process breakdown. Lets see if we can get it back on track.

2D Mouse Fix
by Brettskeh on Saturday November 7th 2009, 0:40
I've managed to get some decent control back over my mouse in menus, etc.

Edit your FalloutPrefs.ini

Under [Controls] add the following lines-

fForegroundMouseAccelBase=0

fForegroundMouseAccelTop=0

fForegroundMouseBase=0

fForegroundMouseMult=0

This disables mouse acceleration and seems to fix freaky mouse behaviour for the most part. Enjoy!

Cannot play after installing the GOTY Edition
by ehren on Tuesday November 3rd 2009, 20:03
I bought and installed the GOTY edition, but when I find the "Fallout3.exe", or the "FalloutLauncher.exe" it seems like it is starting in the bottom of the screen, but disappears. I have in the pact configured wine to run with Oblivion,and Fallout trilogy, except Fallout tactics won't work. I just tested them today they still work, I cannot figure out how to do the "patching" and all that in the "howto" section, if someone could explain it easier.
I have a Athlon x2 64 processor, a EVGA 9800GT video card.

Thanks for your help.

wine 1.1.32
by Tuomas on Saturday October 31st 2009, 6:35
The game runs fine with patched wine 1.1.32, although it is rather slow some times. My Linux distribution is Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex (64 bit). I installed (and patched ) Fallout 3 (1.7) using the playonlinux and wine which are in the ubuntu repositories. Then, I removed both playonlinux and wine, and did `sudo make install' in the patched wine source directory. For me, it was important to remove the stock wine, since the "dlls" seem to be in the same directory for both the ubuntu wine and the custom build. (Or I do not know how to prefix the whole wine compilation correctly) There are good instructions for how to build wine in the WineHQ Wiki.

I define the WINEPREFIX variable to the wine folder created with playonlinux, define WINEDEBUG=-all, and execute `wine Fallout3.exe' or `wine FalloutLauncher.exe' in the Fallout3 folder. The launcher seems to require the DVD.

The mouse was behaving strangely until I defined the WINEDEBUG=-all.

Antialiasing
by cosmophobia on Saturday October 24th 2009, 3:15
Hello,

another question. : )

Fallout 3 works now with a self-compiled wine.

I tried enabling antialiasing in the gameoptions & forcing it through
the NVidia-driver, but it won't work.

Antialiasing works with other wine-games.
Do you have any idea how to get it working with Fallout 3 too!?

Crashes on new/loading game
by cosmophobia on Saturday October 17th 2009, 12:37
Hello,

I tried installing Fallout 3 with PlayOnLinux (3.7/patched wine 1.1.31) and without (unpatched wine 1.1.31 without any tweaks). In both cases the game installs and starts fine.
When I try to start a new game (or load a downloaded one) the game crashes after loading a few secounds.

I tried a patched (1.7) and unpatched game. I tried using cracks. It's always the same.

My gameversion is german.

My system: Mandriva 2009.1 x86_64 @ AMD Phenom X4 940, 4GB RAM, NVidia GeForce GTX 260 (896 MB RAM)

Windowed mode not supported on this Adapter.

With windowed mode off:

Your display doesn't support the selected resolution. Please set a
different resolution in Fallout 3's Launcher under 'Display Settings'.

(It shows this regardless of what resolution I set in FalloutPrefs.ini, including the Fallout defaults and my screen's native resolution.)

by Jari Vetoniemi on Sunday June 14th 2009, 12:19
As the howto is not really detailed and i posted this as reply so some users dint see this so I'm gonna tell how i got this game work like Charm without heads tho.

Heres how:
1) I checked my shaderpack in renderinfo.txt file
2) Replaced it with Shaderpack019 (You may try others also if 019 wasn't good)
3) Searched fallout.ini and falloutprefs.ini for word decal
4) Every occuranse of the word Decal i setted to 0
5) If you have Quad Core or more than 2 cores:
5.2) Make bUseThreadedAI to 1 in Fallout.ini
5.3) Insert this after it then iNumHWThreads=2

If the game still crashes at startup you have to put useFaceGenHeads=0 in fallout.ini, this disables heads, but the game will work. This is because Fallout 3 has poor hardware compatibly and don't work well with all hardware. Now the game works just like under Windows with same proplems and bugs. You still may get flickering after playing some hours and slowdowns and rare crashes, but this happens also in Windows. I play with Very High settings btw =)

I have Q6600 and nVidia GForce 8600 GT. Hope this helps.
Btw, i really suggest installing latest version of PlayOnLinux and install Fallout 3 with the script that is already in the POL Repo. Because this game can easily break compatibly with your other Wine programs. And the POL Script just works after you've done the stuff above.

Game Locked at Birth Scene
by Shannon T on Monday March 30th 2009, 11:42
The first ever bug that totally ruin the game experience

"Right after the nurse leaves and the mother says "we did it" the game becomes idle, only the e button works making the baby cry, the dad says nothing, nor leaves and nothing happens. "

And reading from a post from other forum, one of the guys said something like "you can tell straight away whether an install went right or wrong, If it detects it as all high but no water and no certain things, then u know its a goner." which is exactly happening to me, but it's a complete different story when the game is installed into my friend's PC, he's playing it right now.

i'd being trying and reinstalling for the 6th time so i dont know what to do.

while I was trying to find a solution, i stumbled across Wine
so i was just wondering, should i do the "Wine" thing? with the reg and stuff which is shown above the first post?

the end of the world as we know it
by shnull on Wednesday November 19th 2008, 1:48
I finished the game yesterday, totally, i cant say i did every single quest but i did a LOT. Used almost any weapons and definitely any skills. Compared to windows only differences are FAR better loading times on Linux, and slightly less fps in VATS on Linux.
If anyone's interested, i wrote this perl script that helps me hack the terminals in (mostly two but) three passes.

Find it here :
paste.ubuntu.com/74200/

feel free to adapt, send me a msg if you do, if you know perl you can get the routine from it, if you don't, well, take some time, its a useful scripting lng when using linux, though not one of the youngest,

Keep up the good work , winers ;-)

Crashes are related to SM 2.0B+
by Mikael Åkersund on Tuesday November 4th 2008, 8:13
The reason that Fallout3 crashes when starting a new game is that some of the shader effects added require SM 2.0 B or higher. Oblivion only required SM 2.0. Windows users with Radeon 9x00 cards or Intel 965

To get past the New Game crash edit Documents/My Games/FALLOUT.INI and set bUseFaceGenHeads=0

You'll be able to see the intro movie, your birth, customize your character and take your first steps. All characters won't have any heads and the game is going to crash soon after that.

There's an effort over at www.oldblivion.com/sm/index.php?topic=5831.0 to rewrite Fallouts shader effects to SM 2.0, much in the same way as was done with OldOblivion.
