I've installed the CD version of Fallout 2, put fallout2-ce in the Fallout2 folder, and after adjusting my fallout2.cfg file to the following values:

[sound]
music_path1=./data/sound/music
music_path2=./data/sound/music

[system]
critter_dat=./critter.dat
critter_patches=./data
master_dat=./master.dat
master_patches=./data
art_cache_size=2097

and f2_res.ini to

[MAIN]
SCR_WIDTH=1280
SCR_HEIGHT=720
WINDOWED=1

When I execute fallout2-ce the game starts, I get the "PLEASE STAND BY" loading screen, and then it crashes. I get no error messages

OS details:
Fedora 40
Kernel 6.10.6-200.fc40.x86_64
KDE 6.1.4 (Wayland)

Try running the game under the X11 session instead of Wayland/ Ensure that the paths in fallout2.cfg are correct and match the locations of the game files.
If it doesn't help try this command sudo dnf install wine.i686 SDL2.i686 freetype.i686 libX11.i686 libXext.i686 libXrandr.i686 libXrender.i686

I tried under X11, and the result is the same.

What would installing those libraries solve? I'm running the native Linux x64 version of FO2CE, not through Wine.
