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?

If it isn’t obvious, I’m very novice but I think I’ll eventually figure it out with some help… so apologies if my terminology or phrasing is off.

    Try the heroic game launcher. It usually works well. It let you log into gog, epic and prime account and games easily.

    If the game doesn’t run well, try your luck on protondb to see if there is a way to fix it : https://www.protondb.com/app/22380

    I’ve install the gog version of fallout 1 with the heroic game launcher, it worked out of the box. Maybe you’ll have some luck with new Vegas.

      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.
