WINE (PlayOnLinux will ease the installation process for some things but you don't have to use it if you don't want to) Fallout 3 GFWL DVD (I don't have nor will I cover Steam FO3)
A Linux distribution (This should work for Mac too) and PlayOnLinux 4.0.14, the process differs from distro to distro but it's basically the same thing with slight changes.īefore we begin you'll need to gather some stuff, so here's what you need: I'll be explaining the process for setting up the game and modding tools on Ubuntu 12.04 Precise with WINE 1.4. I only gave possible solutions I discovered working for me, not definite answers set in stone.
Every Linux distribution is different and will this work depends on a bunch of factors. NOTE: While everything I'm about to explain below works perfectly for me, that does not mean it will work perfectly for you as well.
It's pretty simple, no hacking stuff or 'super terminal skills' needed. I know that there are a bunch of videos and tutorials mentioning how to run Fallout 3 on Linux using WINE/PlayOnLinux, but none of them explain how to maintain your load order or how to get the mod-required tools/programs/utilities to run in WINE.Īnd after seeing that people have problems making Fallout 3 capable of running mods effectively in WINE and/or PlayOnLinux (especially having troubles with FOSE), I thought I should post the way I managed to make everything work right. 10 Problems and advantages/disadvantages.
