Fallout 3 wine 1.1.12.. installer hangs

Post by sifuschwager »

Everything is working pretty nice on ubuntu 8.10, but I can't seem to get fallout 3 to even install. Followed instructions, but instead of manually compiling an older version of wine to run the game I just installed the latest version of wine.

It starts installing but 1/10 of the progress bar under "installing games for windows live" the installer freezes. I've let it sit overnight and it just doesn't move.


Any help would be greatly appreciated. running a tri core AMD, 4gb ram and ati 2600 512 ram so I think that in terms of hardware I should be alright.


Thanks.

I'm pretty sure it requires a recompile on the latest version with bug patches. I've already posted a concern over rating it gold.

1.1.12 had a couple major regressions. Wait for 1.1.13 (should be out
later today), or use 1.1.11.
