Fallout New Vegas crashes very often #1589

The crash occurs in the first 1-5 minutes of the game, experimentally I found out that the problem is in box86 (and 64 too), STRONGMEM=1 solves the problem, but the FPS drops quite a lot, and I remember well how six months ago I played this game without STRONGMEM and game didn't crash.

Really? I play fallout 3 on my Mac and it works pretty well. Sometimes it crashes when you make a new game and try to create your character but I haven’t extensively tested it on box64 yet. Try using wine compiled with wow64 and dxvk will help the fps too

Also make sure you limit your monitor to 60fps because it crashes natively even on windows if you don’t

I have solved the issue. I reverted back to a non-WOW64 build of Wine 9.2 with Box86-0.3.2. Compared to the latest versions, enabling STRONGMEM=1 has almost no impact on FPS, but the game doesn't crash.
