Do you get an exception?

Yup:

RunSegment:System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x8007007A): The data area passed to a system call is too small. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007A)

If there is an easy solution that would be awesome! But this thing (intel GMA 950) is more than a little notorious for incompatibility with games that I don't dare get my hopes up.

That's pretty bizzare. The only things I can think of are to make sure you're running as administrator, and try running "Cmd" then navigating to the game directory: go to the properties...layout of the console buffer and make sure the buffer size is 80x25, and then run xrl.exe - console inside that command prompt window.

Hmm. No luck! It gives me the same exception error. That error was after typing in the character's name as a mutant, if I choose pure human then it crashes earlier, after rolling stats:

One quirk I have that might be related is that each key press seems to change the size of the font unless I go into the properties and set it myself.

Does the program require any redistributables? Eg, .NET, vC++ etc?

[Frumple]

The game is built in .NET 2.0, so you'll need to install the .NET framework in order to run it; and it'll be Windows-only (sorry Mac/Linux guys, but it'd have taken me many times longer to do a project of this scope in c++). 

Was in first post of thread

Is there anything I can do to run this on linux with mono? I'm not very experienced with that kind of thing, but I'd like to try.

edit-Or if mono won't do that, is there some other thing I could try?

[Soulwynd]

Have you tried wine?

[Angle]

Wine can't emulate the .net framework. Mono should be able to, but I have no idea how to do that or even where to go to look up how.

[Soulwynd]

Wine has .net

[Angle]

So it does. I had tried to run it on wine earlier and it didn't work... Hmm. I shall return after more testing. Thank you.

Not quite. You have to install the framework just like you do for Windows.

[jester]

This game is awsome, I have spent 10 hours playing it in the last 2 days. nuff said.

[Angle]

Not quite. You have to install the framework just like you do for Windows.

indeed. unfortunately, the installer does not quite function. I found a script, winetricks, but I can't seem to get it to work either. I haven't figured out how the wineprefix works, or how to set up a clean one, so that may be the problem.

[Kanil]

This game isn't too hard... ... until I run out of ammo... ... then I die horribly.

Anyone have a suggestion on how to get more bullets?

[Frumple]

Tinkering and the non-Joppa merchants -- the grit gate and jungle-town ones usually carry a 150+ stack. Mostly tinkering, though. Lead slug is a tinker 1 recipe and brews up 50 bullets for one bit. There's cell using weapons (Laser pistol, electrobow/laser rifle, higher tier stuff.) as well. Chem and [energy] cells are both tier 1 items, too.

[Soulwynd]

Not quite. You have to install the framework just like you do for Windows.

I thought that was part of wine having... anything... You know...

Eh, I haven't touched linux in years, don't mind me.
