Fallout 3

http://portingteam.com/files/file/3047-fallout-3-goty/

I do not want a warning but I will also show you how to install Fallout 3 through playonxxx.

By the way did you install steam standalone on playonmac? That usually works better then through Fallout 3.

There's no POL_Install_xlive script: https://www.playonlinux.com/en/supported_apps-100-0.html

This updates the script to install the Wine 1.7.53-steam_crossoverhack for Mac OS.

So I tried installing your script. To install and open up steam worked fine. However when I was about to go to Libraries -> Fallout 3 -> Get this game. Nothing happened at all. So I restarted steam and it worked, but then the installation crashed and you see this sad smily face on playonmac so it does not work all the way.

By the way our competitors, the "wine team" are far ahead of us about Fallout 3. They even found a solution for my intel HD problem! I don't know if I'm allowed to post thier stuff here but here it is. https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=36226

OK, cool. Thanks for testing this out. Let me take a look at what might be going on. I'm going to try to get my hands on Mac to do some more troubleshooting.

Im on Macbook Pro El Capitan 10.11.2 Beta (15C31f), and steam is up and running with no problems. I'm downloading it right now. I'll tell you how the game runs when its done. It installed automatically and everything. I'm new to this stuff so I may mess something up lol

I spoke too soon. Steam crashed completely and now won't open. It says it is in a bad .exe format. EDIT: Steam was not a bad .exe, Fallout was saying bad .exe. I assume this was from it not being fully downloaded yet. Steam on the other hand was 100% unresponsive.

I changed the wine version to 1.7.15 and so far it seems well although I'll keep posting as it downloads/runs

I got it downloaded and I've tried everything within my knowledge and everything i could read and I'm still stuck with the game crashing at "Start New Game". I tried the Intel Bypass and it still reads Intel. Here is the debugger information it gave me on the crash. Idk what any of it means though. Is there anything I can do?

System information:
Wine build: wine-1.7.15
Platform: i386
Host system: Darwin
Host version: 15.0.0

So I have a weird one and I apologize, because I am new to this. Went through the default install (using Steam) and got an error when it appeared to be installing a .NET. I tried this install (with the steam crossover Wine version). It worked, but admittedly I began playing when it brought up the Play option during the install. I played for a bit and let my screen timeout while taking a break. It then would begin to play but would freeze when attempting to start the game. I tried the re-install and now repeatedly get a crash when attempting to run. The exact failure in the debugger appears to be:

Running wine-1.7.53-steam_crossoverhack Fallout3.exe (Working directory : /Users/user/Library/PlayOnMac/wineprefix/Fallout3/drive_c/Program Files/Steam/steamapps/common/Fallout 3err:module:import_dll Library xlive.dll (which is needed by L"C:\\Program Files\\Steam\\steamapps\\common\\Fallout 3\\Fallout3.exe") not found
err:module:LdrInitializeThunk Main exe initialization for L"C:\\Program Files\\Steam\\steamapps\\common\\Fallout 3\\Fallout3.exe" failed, status c0000135

For the record, I am running on a 2008 era Mac Pro running OS X 10.9.5. Thanks in advance for any help.

I used this guide as well: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=149946772

Hi Spy, thanks for posting this information--it's been very helpful. The script still installs 1.3.16-xliveless2 for OS X. I can update the script to use the same Wine as Linux, but I don't have a Mac to test it. Would you mind giving it a shot? There are a few bugs that get fixed in Wine between the versions so hopefully that will get you a clean Steam installation. I'll propose an update now.

If the Steam install works, we can see if these other issues continue to crop up.

Sure thing. I'll test it today. I'll post the report on your updated update.

Addresses WineHQ bug 31861 "Steam needs unimplemented function ADVAPI32.dll.StopTraceA" in v1.5.14 and 1.7.53-steam_crossoverhack addresses WineHQ bug 39403 "Steam Client update from Oct. 7, 2015".

With this fix I am able to install Steam, install Fallout 3, configure the game, and launch it without errors. Have had no issues with Windows Live.

This prevents the steamwebhelper.exe crash after Steam updates. Also placed the DVD-related fix under the DVD installation section.

I pulled instructions from POL_Install_steam (https://www.playonlinux.com/en/app-764-POL_Install_steam.html) and used the download location of POL Steam installer (https://www.playonlinux.com/en/app-4-Steam.html) to finesse the Steam installation.

At this point I've been able to install Steam without errors or blank window issues. The Fallout 3 installation also starts automatically. Let me know if you have any issues or suggestions.

If you spot a problem in a function, fix the function, do not inline the fixed function in your own scripts

I proposed a fix to POL_Install_steam that was applied and prevents Steam from launching without any text. There's another fix I just submitted to POL_Install_steam that prevents the POL script from hanging after the update and waiting for approval. Either way, I put too many changes in this one update. here :-)

Thank you for the updates! :)
I don't use Steam so they're very welcome

xliveless patch no longer needed?

Looking in some more detail, the issue of Steam failing to install appears to be very widespread, so it is unlikely that this is an OSX 10.11 issue as far as I can tell.

The current script installs Steam using the POL_Install_steam function, but I'm getting fails. I found the POL Steam installer (https://www.playonlinux.com/en/app-4-Steam.html) successful for me, so I used that approach and download location in the update I submitted.

I am using Ubuntu 14.04 and I have the same problem. Impossible to download Assassin's Creed too, for the same reason... That may be a recent problem.

The update I submitted automatically launches the Fallout installation from Steam. I had to switch the wine version to 1.7.52-steam_crossoverhack.

I managed to fix this by going to directory that play on linux creates for fallout 3 and manually launching steam from there and then install fallout 3. This worked for me and I can launch the game. However, I haven't had a chance yet to play and see if it is working.

I tried that and got a blank Steam window which would not let me type my user name, which makes it kind of hard to install anything. I have used POL to install Steam before, and it has always sent me an email with a code to type in. No email from Steam.

You actually can type your login and password, there's just no visual feedback to show you this. The update I submitted above seems to address the issue where no text shows up in the Steam window. It also automatically launches the Fallout installation from Steam as well.

The HUD disappearing still happens every once in a while, but not often enough to justify all the work the large-address fix would require.

How did you install the Steam version? My screen only shows a spinning icon...

I had to go to the PlayOnLinux configuration, select Fallout 3 - Configurator, and change the Wine version from 1.3.26-xliveless2 to 1.7.53-steam_crossoverhack. That seemed to work for me.

I've made a fresh install on new virtual disk, changed wine to 1.3.26-xliveless2 before first run, now the game runs! :) But there are still major issues: 1. The sound is very laggy (the video is smooth). 2. The mouse is broken. I cannot move mouse horisontaly, only vertically along the right side of the screent and with great sensitivity. 3. After pressing New Game I've got fatal error :(

I experimented with selecting latest Wine - 1.7.29, I had to copy xlive.dll.so into it from 1.3.26 - now the game runs, the sound it ok, the mouse is 95% ok, but I cannot start a new game. I see fatal error, here is the dump - http://pastebin.com/czrQRCn2 - I hope somebody knows how to read it :)

Nothing else in the dump?

What else should be in here? After extensive Googling I've discovered that there are problems with Intel videocards. Under Linux it could be solved by replacing d3dx dll with a patched one, but not on Mac :(

I have tried to run it with steam but it doesn't work for me. Funny, the program works fine on Windows 7 with steam on the same machine (dual boot) using Zorin OS 9 based on Ubuntu 14.04

DVD installation doen't work because of the "anti piracy" thing. Nothing illegal here, just no way I can figure to make it run.

It is too bad it just won't work. I wanted to cut my self free from Windows but now it looks like I will be stuck with it in order to run the few games I have.... sad.

The steam installatio also fails to install. I think either POL or Steam has changed something. All you get is a pin wheel when installing.

With the "new" steam installer, I was able to get Fallout 3 to work. Thanks.
