Bug ID: 39718 Summary: d3d9.dll trick for Fallout 3 no longer working in Steam Product: Wine Version: 1.7.55 Hardware: x86 OS: Mac OS X Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: directx-d3d Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: b.adamski@mac.com
Created attachment 52967 --> https://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=52967 Crash Log File
In order to get Fallout 3 work with Intel graphic boards, a modified d3d9.dll file needs to be installed in the game directory:
/Program Files/Bethesda Softworks/Fallout 3/d3d9.dll for the standalone version of Fallout 3.
/Program Files/Steam/SteamApps/common/Fallout 3 goty/d3d9.dll or /Program Files/Steam/SteamApps/common/Fallout 3/d3d9.dll for the Steam version of Fallout 3.
In addition the modified d3d9.dll file needs to get registered in winecfg. Add "d3d9 (native, builtin)" in the 'Libraries' tab.
The trick worked perfectly fine until Steam released an update on August 19th 2015. With the new Steam version the trick does no longer work. Fallout 3 crashes when starting a new game or loading a save game. Please find the crash log attached. This is a different crash then the typical "new game crash" that the d3d9 trick is supposed to solve.
There seems no impact from OS X or Wine engine updates. The standalone version of Fallout 3 is not affected, the trick still works absolutely fine here.
I did not find any similar reports about Fallout 3 in Steam on Wine under Linux or natively in Steam on Windows.
