 You need to set DLL overrides for `ddraw.dll` to __"native, builtin"__ in `winecfg` or use `WINEDLLOVERRIDES="ddraw=n,b"` to run Fallout from the command line. If you want to play alternative sound files, you'll also need to install GStreamer Good 32-bit plugins.

+## Build Instructions
+
+### Prerequisites:
+
+* Visual Studio 2015 with **Windows XP support for C++** component. If you're using Visual Studio 2017/2019/2022, make sure to install **VS 2015 C++ build tools (v140)**.
+* [DirectX SDK (June 2010)](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=6812). You will also need `ddraw.lib` from DXSDK February 2010 and `dinput.lib` from DXSDK August 2007. Both files can be found in the [DirectX SDK Collection repo](https://github.com/NovaRain/DXSDK_Collection).
+* [DirectX Runtime (June 2010)](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8109). You can also install it from DirectX SDK installer.
+
+### Steps:
+
+1. Set up a `postbuild.cmd` using the template from the repo.
+2. Open the solution file and build with the **ReleaseXP** configuration (this is the one used for sfall releases).
+3. If everything is set up correctly, you should have a new sfall `ddraw.dll` in your Fallout 2 directory.
