zibi1981 Posted March 17, 2007 Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 I wonder if someone could help me. In my campaign to completely get away from Windows, I tried to install Fallout and Fallout 2 using Wine 0.9.33, which I compiled from sources without problems. So I tried to install Fallout 1, and this is what I got [zibi1981@localhost ~]$ wine /mnt/cdrom2/Autorun.exe fixme:midi:OSS_MidiInit Synthesizer supports MIDI in. Not yet supported. [zibi1981@localhost ~]$ fixme:midi:OSS_MidiInit Synthesizer supports MIDI in. Not yet supported. err:ole:TLB_ReadTypeLib Loading of typelib L"c:\\Program Files\\Common Files\\InstallShield\\Professional\\RunTime\\IsProBE.tlb" failed with error 2 fixme:midi:OSS_MidiInit Synthesizer supports MIDI in.

I can add its .exe using winecfg. But there is also a problem with a bookmark called "Audio". Here is what i got in console, when clicking at it [zibi1981@localhost ~]$ winecfg fixme:midi:OSS_MidiInit Synthesizer supports MIDI in. Not yet supported. fixme:msg:pack_message msg 14 (WM_ERASEBKGND) not supported yet fixme:msg:pack_message msg 14 (WM_ERASEBKGND) not supported yet And when I try to run Fallout i get [zibi1981@localhost ~]$ wine falloutw.exe wine: could not load L"c:\\windows\\system32\\falloutw.exe": Module not found And Yes, I did check that the exact name of the .exe file is falloutw.exe, but why wine is looking for it in system32 folder, instead of C:\\Program Files\\Interplay\\Fallout, where it's stored? Anyone have any ideas how to make my Fallout run on Mandriva? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramfree17 Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 why not change to the directory where the fallout binary is located and execute it from there? i think wine is searching for the binary in its defined path which is why it defaults to looking at the system32 folder. ciao!

zibi1981 Posted March 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 It did help. Thanks a lot ramfree17 :D If I will encounter any other problems while playing, I would post it here, but forn now my problem is solved Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyme Posted March 19, 2007 Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 how do they run under Wine? I can't get the games to run reliably in Windows anymore...but I'd love to play them again! I'm still waiting for a Fallout 3....hopefully Bethesda actually finishes it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zibi1981 Posted March 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 Well, I'm a Fallout maniac too. I used to spent many days playing all parts of the series (including Tactics), and now I decided to go through it one more time :D For the moment I only play Fallout (the first part). I didn't have any problem with installation, and only one with running the game, which was solved above by ramfree17. And now, when i want to play Fallout I just have to type wine /home/zibi1981/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Interplay/Fallout/falloutw.exe in console, and it starts flawlessly. I don't have any major problems while playing, only several minor ones, like the mouse cursor issue (the cursor moves smoothly in all kinds of menus, also in-game ones, but in game area it doesn't, and sometimes jumps from place to place) or some performance problems. For instance, sometimes, after some time of playing, more or less suddenly the game is starting to run a bit slower, than before. But after another start all is good. Nonetheless its worth trying to play Fallout on Linux. It has an additional flavor, if You know what I mean ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krisbee2000 Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 in console, and it starts flawlessly. I don't have any major problems while playing, only several minor ones, like the mouse cursor issue (the cursor moves smoothly in all kinds of menus, also in-game ones, but in game area it doesn't, and sometimes jumps from place to place) I found that shutting off the Hardware Cursor in my xorg.conf fixed some issues in other programs... maybe it will help you to. Under your video card device section, add Option "HWCursor" "false" See if that keeps your cursor in the program (it may not!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
