OS X Fallout 3 New Game Issue

[jal97jal]

Hey guys, I'm pretty new to all this wine stuff, but I'd decided to give it a shot for the convenience of having fallout 3 on Mac. Anyway, I got through the install pretty quickly, but when I tried to start a new game I get the "Program fallout3.exe has encountered a serious problem" thingy.

Here is the log from the test run I did:

There was a second log window, but I wasn't sure which one you guys would need to see the problem (it was super long, too).

Uhh pretty much figured out the issue, so nevermind

 

[geefourx]

How did you solve it? It seems pretty impossible to make Fallout 3 work with Wine when having an Intel graphic board?

So what was the problem ? It may help out others.

Fallout 3 requires ATI or Nvidia graphic cards. There is a modified d3d9.dll file that needs to be placed into the Fallout 3 game folder to allow Fallout 3 to run with Intel graphic boards. However, it seems not to work under Wine based on all these reports:

Does Fallout 3 run on your setup?

Ah, I see. Your MBP has two graphic boards, one ATI and one Intel. That's why can use the ATI board for Fallout 3.
