Hello,
I'm trying to create script for Fallout 3 but i stucked on this

cd $REPERTOIRE/ressources/
#downloading xliveredist.msi (size 22 MB)
if [ ! -e $REPERTOIRE/ressources/xliveredist.msi ]; then
POL_SetupWindow_download "PlayOnLinux is downloading xliveredist libraries" "$TYTUL" "http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/info.aspx?na=90&p=&SrcDisplayLang=en&SrcCategoryId=&SrcFamilyId=05013300-5d14-4dc9-9145-991ea1b8e4b0&u=http%3a%2f%2fdownload.microsoft.com%2fdownload%2fD%2f6%2f0%2fD60F0E11-CF52-42B9-A13A-E7DAB124F08F%2fxliveredist.msi"
fi

The download bar is showed, the progress is made, but at the end there is no xliveredist.msi in $REPERTOIRE/ressources/

Another issue is with running Fallout 3 out of POL. The game runs, in main menu i choose play, the game tries to load but fails with
wine: Unhandled page fault on read access to 0x00000000 at address 0xade42b (thread 002b), starting debugger...

If i run the same script only without POL the game loads fine. I can reproduce this every time. Does anybody have got any hints on working this out? Maybe the cause is in os.system function which runs every game from POL?

Thanks in advance for helping me

I've got also another pleading for Tinou. To get Fallout 3 working there must be patched Wine source, but i could download Wine from here and substitute wined3d.dll.so (size 394.4KB) which is compiled by me. Then the game would install and run out of box (no illegal stuff). Tinou would you upload wined3d.dll.so on your file server?

This script installs Fallout 3. It also can patch the game after it's been installed (Fallout3_v1.5_US_English.exe). It works on
Wine version : 1.1.22
Distribution : Fedora
Distribution Version : 10 (32 bit)
Graphics card : Nvidia, GeForce 9xxx
Drivers of the graphics card : 185.18.14
Comments
-use latest 1.5 game patch as it solves the issue with mouse
- be sure that in POL configuration Settings->Environment the value "Default Wine Version to run wine programs with PlayOnLinux" is set to System

Icon for the game:

Use :

POL_SetupWindow_download "PlayOnLinux is downloading xliveredist" "$TYTUL" "http://download.microsoft.com/download/D/6/0/D60F0E11-CF52-42B9-A13A-E7DAB124F08F/xliveredist.msi"

Script added to repository, thx for your work :)

at your service ;)

When I try to run the script in PlayOnLinux it says that it's "Not a valid PlayOnLinux package"

Running Ubuntu 9.04 64-bit.

Try do Install in POL then type Fallout 3 in search, then select Fallout 3 and then click apply

Great, that works perfectly, thanks :D

Hi ! I've just installed Fallout 3 (French DVD version) thanks to your installer ! Thanks a lot for your work.

However, it doesn't work here (I installed the 1.7 patch, and the fallout-patched wine version).

When starting "Fallout 3" nothing happens. When starting the launcher, I get a crash and a big log, which includes this :

err:module:import_dll Library wined3d.dll (which is needed by L"C:\\\\windows\\\\system32\\\\d3d9.dll") not found
err:module:import_dll Library d3d9.dll (which is needed by L"C:\\\\Program Files\\\\Bethesda Softworks\\\\Fallout 3\\\\Fallout3.exe") not found
err:module:LdrInitializeThunk Main exe initialization for L"C:\\\\Program Files\\\\Bethesda Softworks\\\\Fallout 3\\\\Fallout3.exe" failed, status c0000135
Running Fallout 3 Launcher
wine: Unhandled page fault on read access to 0x00000000 at address 0x408bdc (thread 0009), starting debugger...

Any idea ? :)

You seem to lack wined3d.dll . Don't uninstall Fallout 3 and do:
Install->Games->Fallout 3
now click forward till you reach the point where you must choose
Update Wine version to 1.1.29

Now try to start the game. If it fails then check in "~/.PlayOnLinux/WineVersions/1.1.29-Fallout3/usr/lib/wine" if you've got wined3d.dll.so.

Thanks for your reply :)

Hm, well, I don't know why, but on subsequent launches I only got the following : (no more mention to wined3d.dll). However, still, nothing occurs when launching fallout 3. When using the Fallout 3 launcher, I get the background picture of the launcher, before the menu is visible and it crashes instantly...

wine: Unhandled page fault on read access to 0x00000000 at address 0x408bdc (thread 0009), starting debugger...

You ask about solutions but you don't give any informations about your environment.

Well, sorry, I thought I had written them below but them may not be complete enough :

So :

Up-to-date POL & latest script, Ubuntu 9.04 32 bits, Nvidia 185.x drivers, boxed DVD of Fallout 3, French version, 1.7 update :)

Cheers !
