Trying to Download Fallout New Vegas on Lutris but getting an error code. I feel like I need to manually select 32 Bit download but Ihave no idea, (lemmy.world)

I downloaded Fallout 3 through gog.com and as soon as I figured what the hell I was doing, I got it downloaded and playing great. I’m on a Chromebook Plus with an i5 and Iris Xe graphics. When I go to download NV, it prompts me to a message that tells me Wine is preparing a 64 Bit download . Shouldn’t it be 32 Bit?...

QuincyPigBoy OP ,

Wow. Day one on here and it’s already 1000x more helpful than Reddit. What a piece of crap that platform is now haha. “That game is for windows and even if could get it running, it wouldn’t be playable on a Chromebook” after not reading the body of my post.

Anyway, thank you. I’ll try that today.

QuincyPigBoy OP ,

Hmmm I’ll see if I can work that out. I’m a bit unfamiliar with all of this but would I save the game download to a folder within lutris and then do the manual install as you mentioned?

QuincyPigBoy OP ,

Are you trying to run it through stream? I’m a novice but from what I’ve read, that’s probably a part of the problem. Also, the gog version has a lot of kinks and bugs worked out + performance improvement.

Ironically, as I was searching for a solution I came across a satirical Hard Drive article about MIT offering a degree in “installing NV on modern machines” haha.

QuincyPigBoy OP ,

Hmmm yeah maybe I should. I’ve been enjoying Lutris quite a bit but if Heroic gets it to work, who cares I guess. I can do the research but do you know if Heroic also does all the work of extracting and running files? Through Wine I’d assume?

Thank God I didn’t go all-in on Linux haha. This is already a pain.

QuincyPigBoy OP ,

ahhhhh I get ya. I didn’t realize that the +Add had a “Search Lutris Website” option. I have it downloading right now. Thanks.
