Fallout on Ubuntu / wont work well

[walmor]

Hello guys,
I'm from Germany, so excuse me for my English.
Since a few Days I tried to get Fallout 1 & 2 work on my Notebook (Ubuntu 14.04) using Wine.
On Windows the game runs smooth and nearly perfect.
On Ubuntu everything is really slow.
I tried Fallout without any mods, only patched and with mods (Fallout Fixed, Fallout Hi-Res) but it wont work better.
I already used Google, but none of the solutions I found worked. I installed DirectX with winetricks, tried Direct Draw and also setting a higher priority won't make it better.

After installing wine 1.7.x I get only a black screen when I try to install fallout.
I created a win 32 prefix, because my version of fallout installer is for win32.
The console displays the following:

Code: Select all

Presario-CQ61-Notebook-PC:~$ WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX="$HOME/fallout" wine uninstaller
fixme:ole:RemUnknown_QueryInterface No interface for iid {00000019-0000-0000-c000-000000000046}

Presario-CQ61-Notebook-PC:~$ fixme:x11drv:X11DRV_desktop_SetCurrentMode Cannot change screen BPP from 32 to 8

I would love to play Fallout 1 fixed with the High-Res-Mod on my Ubuntu system.

I hope you can help me.

Best regards,
walmor.

Both games are linked to https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35718. Wine-staging has a patchset to revert the patches that caused the regression, so you could try that.
