Description

Compatibility Report

  • Name of the game with compatibility issues: Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel
  • Steam AppID of the game: 38420
  • ProtonDB link with reports: https://www.protondb.com/app/38420

System Information

I confirm:

  • that I haven't found an existing compatibility report for this game.
  • that I have checked whether there are updates for my system available.

Symptoms

Almost the same as #1503 and #1774 - game does not start out of the box. To force game to start, rename BOS_HR.exe to TacticsLauncher.exe. On first start, intro movie practically does not work (extremely choppy), but that's because game starts in 16bpp mode by default. After changing resolution to native with 32bpp (e.g. "1920 x 1080 x 32") , intro movie works perfectly (as seemingly rest of the game).

Research direction

Start with the related compatibility reports #1503 and #1774, the ProtonDB reports for AppID 38420, and the linked system information gist. Reproduce with Proton 3.16-4 using the reported GTX 770, NVIDIA 410.73, and kernel 4.18.16, comparing the launcher rename and 32bpp workaround. Done means the game starts without renaming BOS_HR.exe and the intro movie works correctly.
