Crash Log File

In order to get Fallout 3 work with Intel graphic boards, a modified d3d9.dll
file needs to be installed in the game directory:

/Program Files/Bethesda Softworks/Fallout 3/d3d9.dll for the standalone version
of Fallout 3.

/Program Files/Steam/SteamApps/common/Fallout 3 goty/d3d9.dll or 
/Program Files/Steam/SteamApps/common/Fallout 3/d3d9.dll for the Steam version
of Fallout 3.

In addition the modified d3d9.dll file needs to get registered in winecfg. Add
"d3d9 (native, builtin)" in the 'Libraries' tab.

The trick worked perfectly fine until Steam released an update on August 19th
2015. With the new Steam version the trick does no longer work. Fallout 3
crashes when starting a new game or loading a save game. Please find the crash
log attached. This is a different crash then the typical "new game crash" that
the d3d9 trick is supposed to solve.

There seems no impact from OS X or Wine engine updates. The standalone version
of Fallout 3 is not affected, the trick still works absolutely fine here.

I did not find any similar reports about Fallout 3 in Steam on Wine under Linux
or natively in Steam on Windows.
