Fallout Tips

The GOG.com release of this game installs cleanly into it's own bottle,
using the winXP bottle profile. At the end of the installation do not
launch the game -- just exit the installer instead.

This GOG version requires one native fullscreen resolution - 640x480. If you
have a widescreen or 16:9/10 display type or otherwise cannot use this fullscreen
4:3 aspect resolution, you will have to run crossover/wine in windowed mode
(Emulate a virtual desktop) for the game to start/run.

To do this, use cxsetup to configure the bottle, and then use winecfg to configure
crossover/wine to run in windowed mode ('Emulate a virtual desktop');


0. Start  cxsetup

1. Highlight the bottle you installed the game into

2. Click on 'Configure' => 'Control Panel' => 'winecfg' -- the Wine Configuration GUI will appear





3. Now click on 'Graphics' tab => tick  'Emulate a virtual desktop'





4. After enabling virtual desktop mode, you will see 'Desktop size' element becomes active => change this to 640 x 480





5. Click on 'Apply' => 'Ok' => 'Ok"
6. Exit  cxsetup


Note: Here, the game appeared very dark onscreen, so to fix it, start a new
game, and once the game has started click on the ingame options button (see
my in-game screenshot) and the game options panel will pop-up. Click on the
'Preferences' entry, and in the bottom right of the new window there is a
brightness level slider you can adjust to suit your needs.
