This guide was made by me, it was made on Ubuntu 10.10 so no one checked on other linux os, it might work as well. And with this guides help you will be able to play fonline in even better conditions as in windows, because there are no downsides, and program works much more stable, crashes are very rare.

I am going to  remove Windows 7 really soon, but I hope  this  game  will run under Wine.
Is Wine  really necesscary for this ?

Works almost perfectly under wine for me.
Disregard any informations about wine-0.9.38 needed to run it, that applied to old versions of client - new client works with recent versions of wine.

Fallout 1 & 2 Wine test results  (contain FAQ how to run it  too* ) on various versions of Linux:

Fallout 2

http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?bShowAll=true&bIsQueue=false&bIsRejected=false&sClass=version&sTitle=&sReturnTo=&iId=319

(conclusion - works fine on newest versions, doesn't work at all on older versions form 2006 )

Fallout

http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=43

(works fine)

Somebody should add FO 2238 Wine  tests, I have not found it yet

Keep in mind, Fallout 1 and 2 are - regarding FOnline - totally different games, even if the optic is nearly the same.

I play on Ubuntu 9.10 , and working great.

[vedaras]

i play on 9.10 too works smooth as hell:> Install playonlinux, it helps you configure wine :>

[Ari Lazarus]

I got it working through WINE a different way, since it seemed to want me to install Mono as well as the .Net platform in WINE.

I installed it painlessly on my Windows XP boot and then simply used WINE to run Fonline.exe.

[Misiolap]

.Net is probably needed for launcher and installer, but you can get compressed package without need to use installer.

[Alvarez]

Hmm, in my cause, FOnline seems to lagging insanely under Wine 1.1.31 on Ubuntu 9.10...

Were there any further settings i missed, guys?

Edit: i reinstalled my video drivers.

The game runs now even smoother than on my old system. Gotta check this weekend on freezes.

FOnline should be native. DirectX is evil, OpenGL liberate!

At current point of development it would be a big waste of effort to change the rendering engine.

Indeed and if it works in WINE, I see no reason for this, because in theory, the performance should be just as good.
