[Bug 37625] New: Fallout: New Vegas fails to allocate system memory

Bug ID: 37625
           Summary: Fallout: New Vegas fails to allocate system memory
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.7.31
          Hardware: x86
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
          Assignee: [e-mail]
          Reporter: [e-mail]

Fallout: New Vegas fails to allocate enough system memory when running on
high/ultra graphics settings. The game does not crash but the game is not
rendered properly; the interface disappears and certain textures are not
visible.

Wine repeatedly gives the following messages:

err:d3d:resource_init Failed to allocate system memory.

This issue can be fixed by setting the large address aware flag enabled (works
for Fallout 3 which has the same issue and runs the same game engine), but for
some reason New Vegas will not start if this is done. This is also true under
Windows and people have made workarounds to this and created mods which solve
the issue. For an example the following:

http://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/35262/?

This mod does not work under Wine, when you attempt to apply this patch by
running fnv4gb.exe you get the following error:

err:module:attach_process_dlls "XINPUT1_3.dll" failed to initialize, aborting
err:module:LdrInitializeThunk Main exe initialization for L"C:\Program Files
(x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Fallout New Vegas\FalloutNV.4gb" failed,
status c00000fd

As described previously, Fallout 3 has the exact same issue and by setting the
large address aware flag the game functions flawlessly. The same would probably
be true if the flag could be set for Fallout: New Vegas.

If I understand the problem correctly the out of memory errors and visual
glitches also happen in Windows and that's why someone created the mod to make
if large address aware, correct?

So the problem this bug is about is why the mod does not work, right?

In wine graphical glitches occur which make the game unplayable but in windows
the game simple crashes to desktop because it is running out of memory.
Although these two different behaviors occur I would still say that it happens
because of the same issue. In Fallout 3, which uses the exact same graphics
engine, the same issue happens, but there the large address aware flag can be
applied. Because of some strange problem with Steam, the same simple solution
does not work with Fallout New Vegas, which also was an issue in Windows until
this mod was created which solves the issue.

The problem then as you say, is that the mod does not work under Wine, it seems
to try and apply large address aware, but when the mod does the same routine it
does under Windows it fails.

It is a very unfortunate issue since these games do not run well with a lot of
mods and high graphics settings unless the large address aware flag can be
enabled.

It looks like this xinput1_3.dll missing is a known issue from Windows, maybe
these messages can help you:

Can you try the patch attached at bug 34658? You need to compile wine yourself.

Original patch was deprecated in favor of
https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/62552/. Which mentions wine
compatibility as a feature and works.
