Please help me, when I try to play Fallout 2, I can see the Please Stand By screen, but it crashes after the screen is finished displaying.

Best place to start would be the appdb page for the game, see if this
problem is listed and possible fixes for it. If it isn't there, fixes
don't work, etc. run the game from command line and post back with
whatever errors you get when it crashes, also include your wine version,
video card, and video drivers.

You're going to have to figure out what driver you're using, and if it's not the proprietary driver, install it.

The driver can't be AMD if your card is Nvidia.

Open a terminal and type

Code: Select all

glxinfo | grep version

and report back what it says.

Perhaps no one knows the answer.
