Fallout 3: Game of the Year Edition Forum

I do not know exactly when some of the changes were made by Bethesda but now it's easier to get this game to work on Linux (and Mac probably) as a consequence.

The new crosstie that I've created takes you 99% of the way. The 1% requires you to use a tool which disables GFWL(more on this later) and adjusting a configuration file with a text editor.

Steps to install Fallout 3 GOTY:

1) Click on the big green button which downloads the crosstie to your computer and let CrossOver deal with installing Steam and the game.

Press the "Play" button to run the launcher which will create the folder where the game will keep its save files and configuration data.

On Linux this might be either $HOME/My Games/Fallout3 or $HOME/Documents/My Games/Fallout3

On Mac OS X this will probably be /Users/$USER/My Games/Fallout3

Do not attempt to play at this time. It won't work

2) Download this utility from Nexusmods:
http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout3/mods/1086/?

Copy it to the game's install folder. To do this you need the open Tools -> Manage Bottles then click on the Fallout 3 bottle, press the "Open C: drive" button and navigate to

Program Files/Steam/steamapps/common/Fallout 3 goty

From this same folder, you need to copy the file Fallout_default.ini to the folder the launcher created at step 1) and rename it to Fallout.ini

Now the "Run Command" and choose the "Games for Windows LIVE Disabler.exe" file from Program Files/Steam/steamapps/common/Fallout 3 goty

Press only the button which disables GFWL ( or G4FL as they call it). It will offer to also disable an entry in the game's menu which is tied to GFWL. Let it do it.

A small note on why I don't believe this is circumventing copy protection. As I said, Bethesda changed the way some things work with this game. Copy protection is handled directly through Steam according to this article(1). GFWL is kept there for some online functionality but activating CD keys is not one. Judging from some old posts, there even used to be a "secret" folder where DLCs would reside. This is no longer the case. All the DLCs reside in the game's data folder. Also, here's a Bethesda employee giving advice to some people on moving DLC files around.

3) Disable the Steam overlay.

4) Now press the "Play" button in Steam and adjust settings. Click on "Options" in the launcher. I run this game in windowed mode and I also turned off vsync (because Compiz handles it) and screen effects. Press OK and exit the launcher.

Note: I did 3 and 4 because at time I would get some video corruption when using VATS but also randomly in the game. I don't get it anymore.

5) Open the Fallout.ini file we created earlier with a text editor (double-clicking on it should do the trick) and find this line:

bUseThreadedAI=0

Change the value to 1

Right underneath that line create one that looks like this:

iNumHWThreads=1

Save the file and exit the editor.

6) Now you should be ready to play the game.

Optional:

7) Using this mod to make the executable large address aware might also improve things for you. Please READ the instructions that come with it. Running the .bat file is as easy as pressing the "Run command" button in CrossOver and pointing it at the .bat. It's a good idea to just copy the folder from this archive to your Fallout 3 bottle.

Great! But the big green button doesn't seem to be there. Can you provide a download link for the cross tie, please?

The crosstie is now online.

Hey! Thanks for posting this. Helped me get my game up and running on my Macbook. Besides the mouse problems, I do have one issue with adding the "optional" Large Address Aware Enabler. An error window displaying this pops up whenever I try to run the command using CrossOver:

• "Command results"

"The command /Users/Me/Library/Application Support/CrossOver/Bottles/Steam/drive_c/users/crossover/Desktop/FO3 3GP ENABLER (OG)/FO3_3GB_ENABLER-6510/3GB enabler/START.bat returned 49."

followed by this text in a box:

"Command error text:
Can't recognize '/Users/Me/Library/Application Support/CrossOver/Bottles/Steam/drive_c/users/crossover/Desktop/FO3 3GP ENABLER (OG)/FO3_3GB_ENABLER-6510/3GB enabler/START.bat' as an internal or external command, or batch script."

• Is there a way to get the .bat file to run on my mac, through like Terminal or something? The option to "Open with" doesn't appear so I can't open it in Terminal, but from what I've read it's possible to get it running through there. Also, since .bat is a Windows file type, is it possible that I can transfer the folder containing the "Large Address Aware Enabler" stuff (with the Fallout3.exe in it) onto a Windows computer, complete the process there and then put it all back onto my Mac again? Will it work the same and not screw things up?

Sorry I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to these things, but I'd really appreciate a response. I love this game, and being able to have it on my computer to experience it all again would be amazing.

Hmm, that's weird. Did you use "Run Command" and point it to START.bat?

https://www.codeweavers.com/support/wiki/mac/mactutorial/run_only

Yeah. Thats exactly what I did. But every time I try it, it always just says the same thing. That it can't recognize it "as an internal or external command, or batch script". My Fallout3.exe file is in the folder and I even placed it all in the bottle containing Steam and Fallout 3. But nope. No success.

What version of CrossOver are you on?

Either it's an old one what this might be a "Mac OS X thing". I'll have to ask around later when the staff will be in the office.

On Ubuntu, it works exactly as described. Heck, I even created a fresh win_xp bottle and tested with a freshly extracted enabler.

I'm currently using version 13.1.2, one of the most recent versions available. I do think that this is a "Mac OS X" thing since its not exactly a compatible file type for Macs and I have read that this works on Ubuntu.

That explains it then. If I'm not mistaken, 13.x uses wine 1.7.4. The change which corrected the behavior of wine when cmd.exe is invoked (to open up a console window, the same way it happens on Windows) was introduced in wine 1.7.18. CrossOver 14 is based on wine 1.7.25 which includes this patch (and also a workaround for Hearthstone. which, for some reason, was adversely affected)

So, you are correct. It's not a Mac OS X thing, it just an older version of CrossOver.

It's not all rosy on CX 14 either. While the main game seems to work fine, in the Operation Anchorage DLC, during the final missions the framerate drops so low that it becomes unplayable. I watched in nvidia-settings. While normally the GPU shows around 20-30% usage, during those times, the GPU usage would drop to single digit numbers. Some sort of bottleneck, somewhere else. The expected behaviour was for GPU usage to keep at the same levels or increase.

So I ended up using PlayOnLinux(there is a Mac equivalent called PlayOnMac). Created a pristine wine prefix (also known as bottles in CrossOver slang) where I installed only Steam. I used the latest build of wine-staging at the time (1.7.45-staging) and copied over just the "steamapps" folder to the wine prefix created by PoL. I could finally play the game again. No more annoying performance issues. Oh, I also used a modified version my .reg file to allow steam to install DirectX and the Visual C++ runtimes. My hope is that what fixed the performance issues is actually in vanilla wine because the wine-staging team patches wine quite heavily with out of tree patches (they aim for those to be included in mainline wine, but it can take a while to rigorously verify them).

The good news is that the next version of CrossOver (version 15) will include a newer, better version of wine. The bad news is that it's going to be a while.

These are the normal registry entries as created by the CrossOver

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Valve\Steam\Apps\22300]

"DXSetup"=dword:00000001
"GFWLive"=dword:00000002

this is what allows for DirectX and VC++ installs

Might be useful for people who wish to experiment :)

Whenever I click new game, it loads a bit then crashes when loading... Im on a macbook pro. Please help, I really want to play this game. I followed all the steps (I think). If you can suggest something that I did wrong, please do so I can fix it. EDIT: I even tried downloading a save file and it didn't work.

I am using an intel HD graphics card, I think thats the problem.

I have the same problem as the last person - it always crashes during the first loading screen after selecting a new game. Do you have any advice at all? I am also on a Mac.

Sorry folks, I haven't the foggiest. I run Linux.

I am also experiencing the same issue on MacBook Pro running OS X 10.10.4 with Intel HD Graphics 3000. The game launches OK but crashes when starting a new game. I have followed all the steps in this thread and selected the lowest settings. Any further advice?

I have done some research and you can't run fallout 3 with intel HD graphics because it was not made for intel graphics cards...... I just got it for my ps3 lol (Very hard to find but worth it :) )

Thanks for your solutions. Fallout 3 GOTY works perfectly on my Mac.

A framerate is down cruelly in some locations (DLC1: The Guns of Anchorage, Paving the Way, etc.).

Textures missing issue on Crossover 15.0 & El Capitan 10.11.2.

Was anyone ever able to resolve Person Mcgee's above comment? I'm having the same issue. Followed the install, things seem to run fine right up until I click new game. Starts to load and then crashes. Running El Cap, 10.11.6 Intel i7. 8G of RAM Intel graphics 4000

For anybody reading this in 2017 (and beyond) the problem can be solved and many Mac users with hd / integrated graphics have been able to do so. I found this solution on the internet but thought I would enumerate it fully since some things are not obvious such as the registry editing path.

See the following posts at the links at the bottom for full detail but in short, you need to do the following, BEFORE YOU START FALLOUT 3 THE FIRST TIME from steam.

You will have a bottle which you need to go to. In my case I installed Steam in crossover using the recommended steam tie. Then I installed fallout 3 goty from within steam as you would normally install any steam game.

1) Go to the bottle you used and listed below it should be the run command. option. Click this.
2) Then you get a screen pop up for Run Command. Under 'Use Bottle' it should say the name of the bottle you are using. Below that, for 'Command', it should be blank; type 'regedit' (as you would on a windows computer to edit the registry.)
3) This should open up the registry. First, navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\ using the headings on the left.
4) Right click on 'Wine' and then click 'New' and then 'Key'. Name the Key 'Direct3D'. This key should then be shown as one of the sub-keys within Wine such as AppDefaults, Crypto, Debug etc.
5) Highlight Direct3D which you just created and then right click; Choose 'New' again but this time click 'DWORD Value'
Do this twice to create the following two keys. The Names are 'VideoPci.....' etc and the Values are the numbers in format '0x00000.....' etc.
VideoPciDeviceID = 0x00000402
VideoPciVendorID = 0x000010de
6) You're done. With both keys added with their values you can exit registry edit altogether. From there I was able to play Fallout 3 GOTY immediately where before it was crashing on the loading screen when I clicked 'New game'. You can obviously follow the steps listed above I this thread and may have to, but I and others didn't need these steps.

Thanks Henry - that little registry exercise did the trick, got me past the loading screen immediately.

Running FO3: GOTY on a MacBookPro 15" 2015 with 16MB and the Intel Iris Pro graphics.

One problem I'm occasionally having is that something glitches/bogs down heavily during gameplay - currently feels random, but I haven't observed it more than a half-dozen times so maybe a pattern will emerge - where the framerate drops to like 1/sec and the audio starts chopping up really badly. If I didn't know better, I'd say this was a symptom of a CPU-bound state and that I need to kill off background tasks. However, this is a "new" box, with plenty of resources and 8 threads on that quad-core i7. If this was CPU-bound I'd be freakin amazed. But then again, I don't have any better clue what it could be, so I'm prepared for this to be pretty much anything.

Anyone else seen this, and have any idea what to do about it?

On macOS this is actually ~/Documents/My Games/Fallout3 .

The crosstie now correctly uses Windows 7, but it no longer opens this forum post.

Maybe a bit late, but I got the game running near perfect including mods using the porting kit. Granted, I could only load up a couple of mods, but still. The only thing that doesn't work is the radio. Maybe try porting kit?

Where do you find this "cross tie", (google doesn't even show anything for "crossover cross tie fallout 3")

CrossTie refers to an installation recipe in CrossOver. If you go to "Install Windows Software" and search for this specific game and go through the whole install process, you are automatically using the CrossTie for this game :)

Thanks,
Anna
