I'm still working hard on it Stimpak. *salute* However, as it stands right now, I'm having the same problem I had before I made a fresh wine. Here's what the breakdown of the problem is: I install vcrun2005sp1 via winetricks. I attempt to run the game. It gives me this error, the one that says "You need to intsall vcrun2005sp1." Code: $ wine FalloutLauncher.exe fixme:actctx:parse_depend_manifests Could not find dependent assembly L"Microsoft.VC80.CRT" err:module:attach_process_dlls "MSVCR80.dll" failed to initialize, aborting err:module:LdrInitializeThunk Main exe initialization for L"C:\\Program Files\\Bethesda Softworks\\Fallout 3\\FalloutLauncher.exe" failed, status c0000142 Anyone have any ideas why vcrun2005sp1 isn't either installing or being recognized by the program (when it was before)? I've tried doing a "wineboot," but that didn't seem to help...
