I know you're running linux, but do you have any virtual machine recommendations that are usable on Windows 10? Fallout 3 doesn't work anymore on newer versions of Windows without a crazy amount of set up, and if I could run it on 7, that'd be loving great.

I'm using VMware Workstation 12 Player, Virtualbox can't do gaming sadly. I'm assuming you have either the all-too-common issue of either the game randomly crashing or crashing when you try to start/continue a game? 'Cuz from what I know, Fallout 3 does work on 10 (I haven't tried it in my 10 VM to confirm though), but you need to do a few FALLOUT.INI tweaks and/or create a custom d3d9.dll.

Yeah, that's the "setup" bit I was talking about. I could do it, but god, it doesn't sound appealing. And yeah, mine crashes on start up.

Honestly creating a d3d9.dll file isn't hard, there's a Java utility someone created on Nexus that allows you to create one with just one click, then you just copy that to your Fallout 3 install directory. The huge problem is that Fallout 3 was pretty much created during the time that Windows XP and dual-core or "two threaded" processors was still the most widely used thing for gaming, so anything above that requires tweaking no matter what, whether it be Vista, 7, 8(.1) or 10.

I used to play Fallout 3 on Wine.

I used to play Fallout 3 on Wine.

It works significantly better in a VM than it does in Wine, for me anyway.
