Additional Comments
Needed: - Official Patch 1.1. - TeamX 1.2 patch. - SFALL tweak (timeslip.chorrol.com/sfall.html), the Windows 95/98 version!! (Yes, even if Fallout is set to Win2000+ in Wine). /// Notes on installation of these patches /// Install them MANUALLY (ie. even though it says to just extract into Fallout folder, don't. Differences in name letter case cause "duplicate" files. Manually delete original original files that are supposed to be replaced, THEN copy patch files (not that much work). For SFALL, Generally insert SFALL.dll into ~.wine/drive_c/windows/system32 folder and set an override in Wine libraries for it (to let Wine know that it can use it). Place DDRAW.INI in Fallout directory. GNOME Hex Editor is a good candidate to edit falloutw.exe (use "replace" function found in "Edit", entering text in the fields to the right, replace DDRAW with SFALL) /// end patch installation notes /// Change AUDIO driver setting in Wine to OSS (ALSA causes bugs/crashes and slows game down). 'Out-of-box' game is hard to play because of bug 6033. Mouse is extremely slow. Has been suggested: $ regedit [HKCU\Software\Wine\DirectInput] "MouseWarpOverride" to "disable" This might work for full screen, I haven't been able to test it - my monitor is too big, the game is severely displaced in full mode due to large size/non 4:3 ratio. For window mode (enable wine virtual desktop!) this is not a suitable solution - the game becomes even less playable (due to the mouse leaving the window instead of scrolling ingame), INSTEAD: Set SFALL mouse sensitivity higher. I have tried different % - 225% is optimal for me. That actually makes mouse speed "normal" and game works perfectly.
