F2 on Linux with WINE

[anarchrist]

Hello all dis is my 1st post here !

I just tried installing F2 on a linux box with mandrake 9.1 with WINE and evrythin works right exept... game savin.

The first tiime i save a game it works, then it won't work again unless i reload the game i just saved... and sometimes i can't even save the first time.

I've tried to find a solution in a lot of places and I'v got really desperate right now... save me from suicide, help me 2 play f2 without having to Load/Save evry 2 mins!!!

Sorry for the late reply, but it's still better than never.

I remember the same problem with older versions of Wine. Just look at the Wine version you're using - it's probably just a matter of upgrade. F2 runs here just fine, without a single problem, at Wine-20031212. If you won't find a RPM version, grab the source and build it - it's not that hard.

Wohooo, got Fallouts running at top speed on my Suse machine! (well, occasionally th fade-in/out is laggy, but...)

If you're experiencing problems with saving/loading , make yourself an executable script like

cd /mnt/C/BlackIsle/Fallout2
wine fallout2.exe

Also, it's a good idea to use reltive paths in fallout2.cfg if you're running from a Windows partition.

Make sure the Windows partition is writable...NTFS may be a problem.

PS. Here's a nice icon to use with GNOME

Hi, I'm running Ubuntu 9.10, and I got it installed, and then I immediately installed the Restoration Project. Both installed fine... but I try to run Fallout 2, and it starts, gets to the "please stand by", and then crashes to desktop. I'm running wine in 98 mode. Any suggestions?

i think, you should try xp mode and RP requires directX, as i know
