Fallout: New Vegas - full screen problem

[Sailing_Nut]

Hi all,

New to Wine (VERY impressive work!) and I'm having issues getting Fallout: New Vegas working properly in full screen. I'm running Ubuntu 14.04.

I did some searching here and could not find a similar problem. Hope I'm not repeating something that has been solved.

I have New Vegas installed and I can get it to run in windowed mode. If I run it in full screen, It looks like it's zoomed in and I only see about the top left 1/4 of the screen. Oh, I also see the launcher bar on the left, even though it's supposed to be full screen.

TIA for any and all help!

Well, I went back and configured it back to full screen for a test and it works now.

Must have been something that went wacky with the initial "auto configure" that I didn't notice.

Hi,

I've been playing through Fall Out 3 a bit. Here the basics I'd recommend:

• Use Wine 1.8.1 or 1.9.3 (don't bother with earlier versions)
• I'd recommend running games in a Wine virtual desktop:
  Set this up using the winecfg utility
  Graphics tab: set virtual desktop to your native monitor resolution
  Desktop Integration tab: set the Desktop background colour to black (if Windows blue upsets you) - looks nicer!

Multi-monitor support is really flaky in Wine - as it does not use SDL. I'd say it's a must, to use a virtual desktop, for multi-monitor gaming.

If the launcher issue persists, even when running Fall Out: NV in a virtual desktop, then other Desktop Environments are available!!
