Not really... but lets let Bethesda know we would buy it if they made it.

If you want to understand why, then visit the 'no mutants allowed' forums.

i would love to see fallout 3 for linux since i dont have windows, but this isnt like the ID games that are written in openGL. theyd basically have to write the engine all over, which isnt very feasible. all we can do is try to get some attention so that we might be considered in future game releases, and hope that WINE will be able to play the game soon.

Wow, they've deleted the thread. Are they that desperate to hide the fact that people use GNU/Linux?

Weird.

this is what i've found:

and

but i'm not sure if we have a chance. God i hate microsoft with their directx.

OT, but considering how bad Fallout 3 is on my PS3 I can't help but think a Linux version would probably be worse. Playstations users are still waiting for a patch that might actually render the game usable for a lot of us.

The problem is random hard lockups - the only workaround I've found so far is to disable all autosaves and I'm currently maybe 8 hours into the game - so far, so good. The game was unplayable before that.

Maybe someone should contact LGP, and just to throw this out there, PS3 uses OpenGL, therefore, they must have either written two engines for it, or included the ability to use OpenGL as well as direct3d

Oh well, they will realize that the Linux kernel users are a growing share of the market, eventually they will have to accept that fact and act or create upon that fact
