             | Was inspired to install Fallout 3 after this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BnS-gf6FLLY&feature=related
 Got so close! Install went well, but I run into a problem at the end. It tells me that the disc has copy protections and that prevents Wine from running the game. When I run it, it gets as far as the "Please Stand By" screen in the very beginning then crashes.
 
 Any thoughts?
 
 PS.,
 I also never got the prompt to patch the game...

             | The installation script has changed since the one you saw on youtube. Now there is no need to patch Wine in order to run Fallout 3 and patching Fallout 3 is in other script. 
 Please give:
 -OS
 -graphic card and drivers you use
 -version of the game (ie. GOTY)

             | I'm running Ubuntu 10.4 (64 bit)
 Video card: GeForce 8600 GTS (not sure about the drivers, must be the most current)
 
 I have the GOTY edition as an .iso, but I have also purchased the game via Steam.

             | Having the exact same problem, after installing everything through POL it tells me that the disk has protection and POL doesn't encourage anything illegal. Then when I try to start it I get the main screen and nothing else. 
 I have Ubuntu 10.04
 ATI 5750 with the drivers installed by the hardware system (ATI/AMD FGLRX proprietary drivers)
 I have the steam GOTY version of fallout.
 
 I also tried following the wine how to to the letter and the game still doesn't work...any ideas?
 
 Thank you!
