Bokaj: Does anyone know how to turn off compatibility mode for the Fallout2.exe from within the GOG Mac version? I'm assuming there is some way to do this from within Wine, but I don't know what it is. I don't have easy access to a PC, so I would prefer to do it on my Mac if possible, rather than transferring the exe to a PC, turning off compatibility and transferring it back.

Just to clarify, the Mac version worked fine, but I installed the Fallout 2 Restoration mod, and now I'm getting the compatibility mode error.

If you already installed Restoration Project:
1. Right click (or Cmd Click) on your Fallout 2 icon and select "Show Package Contents"
2. Run Wineskin.app
3. Advanced > Tools > Registry Editor
4. Browse to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER>Software>Microsoft>Windows NT>CurrentVersion>AppCompatFlags>Layers
and delete entry associated with fallout2.exe

Now Fallout 2 should run without compatibility error.
Hope this helps :)
