Crashing...

Post by Scorpion »

No, not something that happens when you're driving drunk and/or stoned on the road, not when you want to sleep and/or stay for a while at someone elses place...

But, game crashing.

Well, anyways, when I want to go into Vault 13, the first time I entered, I took Goris, that hooded Deathclaw, with me, and I did stuff, had sex, flew a jet if you know what I'm sayin :pelvic_thrust:, then I finally found that voice crap thing for Vault 13, and once I enter, I crash.

I have windows XP and I'm not running compatibility mode on Fallout 2. (should I?)
I've got version 1.02 with Kilaps patch on it as well.

Please help.

You may not need anything from there to finish the game.

If you make your character really stupid there is a way to get to the last area without some otherwise essential items.

Try compatibility, there's no risk with it.

And what Kilaps patch? That 1.5?
Serious Business.

I remember having an error like that when I had blown the guy up in Golgotha and I entered the grave, the game just crashed. I just reloaded an earlier savegame, did exactly the same sequence of events and it was fine...

I'd say that your best bet would be to load an earlier load :\

but it fucks the interface up so I cant start a game

I tried reinstalling and a different patch

Definitly try compatibility mode and if that doesnt work try reinstalling it in compatibility mode. NMA actually has a more complete documentation on some troubleshooting tactics. They just have better techincal support nothing else so please come back.

Maybe try getting rid of that fan patch and see if it makes a difference. Also if you have a earlier save try and use that and try to be careful and cross your fingers around the crash area.

And check out NMA... But I remember this happening to me even without kilaps patch... :anger:

I'll check it out

It happens, no matter what I do. I was able to enter Vault 13 the first time, getting quests, hearing that poor guys story ( :joy: ), getting Goris, etc.

And once I want to return, I just crash.

It also happens when I'm targeting people's groin, I sometimes just crash. But this doesn't happen often. Rarely, but still happens...

o_O; Oh well...

Lucky. Though everytime I get a crash or bug I'm able to avoid that area and approach it a different way in the game that doesnt produce a crash. It's actually quite fun because then you got to try different things you would never do before.

if the problem's still there even after reformatting, your files are obviously corrupted. dl a new version and try again

I have been at the NMA *shivers* ew ew ew

but I got a fix for this problem


http://www.nma-fallout.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=9

this is a post, I had to stab them in the face
and it got vatted
so I had to say sorry

damn the things I will do for fallout =/

fix, get the file killap has linked, put it in the scripts folder under the data folder. (make a copy of the original file, before overwriting)

if you dont have scripts folder ( I didnt)
just make one, and copy the file, it worked for me

ps for the lazy killaps link to the file

The pump or the tubing? It's a tricky question.
