>i use manjaro btw
Found your problem

Use ValveSoftware/Proton

>>5956 (OP)
install Windows

Enable steam proton for all titles in settings, import the game into steam as a custom library game, right click it go to compatibility and enable proton for it

>Use ValveSoftware/Proton
I already tried it, it works for two seconds before crashing when it tries to load the menu

what the fuck, do you think this is fucking google search engine, are you nigger?!

It seems like all games on Gamebryo Post-Oblivion hate loading on Manjaro, even with proton + wine.

use lutris and play with runners. if you use prefix it will make two folders that - if the game doesnt work with - will prevent you from getting it to work when attempting other runners. gl

The only modern way to play Fo3 is TTW. There are boundless retard-proof, extensive, and easy-to-find step-by-step guides.

I already tried using Lutris, the situation hasn't changed much.
I'll wait a few years until the nigger cc6cii already has support for Fallout 3 in his raisinty OpenMW.

Did you pirate it? Maybe get a newer version or install a gemmier OS

Use another version of wine o algo

>>5956 (OP)
Fallout 3 is already a buggy mess on Windows. You're not gonna have a good time on Linux.

>>5956 (OP)
Install the game by running wine setup.exe
Install steam, download proton experimental
Install lutris, add game, select proton experimental as runner
launch game

Use Faugus Launcher

Try using the Heroic game launcher first, it is basically a Steam proton shell for major storefronts that are not steam and it was made specifically for GoG and Epic. Then try to run it with Lutris as some autist should have a preconfigured way to run Soyout 3 in the install search.

I think the issue you are running into is the game waiting for you to tell Games for Window Live to fuck off. Tale of two wastelands a total conversion mod to integrate both Fallout 3 and New Vegas which is the only sane way to play 3 anymore probably strips out all the gay Window's annoyance-ware.

I guess the NVCLEAR option would be a Bottles install with it prefixed to run Games for Windows Live upon start up to tell to fuck off.

using different versions of proton sometimes helps but its good to read the logs of the crashes and then update what you can and/or google the crash logs.

sometimes its just hardware to drivers not cooperating
