Created an attachment (id=25570) --> (http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=25570) The Console log after a crash during the black screen after the opening video.
Fallout 3 Game of the Year Edition will crash in semi-random places when starting a New game. Some of these places include the black screen right after the opening video, after inputting the player's name, after customizing the character, During the Birthday scene when you are shooting the radroach with your BB Gun, etc. It seams to be a script executing error as the game is usually supposed to be doing something (ie. controlling the radroach so it doesn't attack the player, moving an NPC somewhere, setting game values(player name, how the player looks) when it stops. The Game has two different crashes for these events, but only one shows at anytime. The first one is obvious and the rarest a Message box pops up saying the Program encountered an error an needs to close. A stacktrace is able to be retrieved in this case. The second one is a freeze, ie the game is no longer controllable by the user, and the render has stopped. Music and sound effects (such as talking) still work until the program is killed, but the player cannot make any sound effects such as walking or shooting a gun. The game's menus are also disabled.
I've followed the hq's guides on getting the program to run, with the small exception of manually installing the Games for Windows Live client and .Net Framework. As the game's installer hangs when the installer for those components have crashed, and thus must be killed to allow the installer to continue.
It must be noted that a save game made after Vault 101 will work normally. It's unknown if it's the result of the save being from another computer with the game running normally or just after Vault 101 because i can't get the game past Vault 101 when starting a new game.
