Running in Compatibility Mode for Windows 95 doesn't help. I'm running WinXP SP2 with a Geforce 6600GT and Forceware 91.28 (I upgraded to these to see if it would randomly help with F1 I previously had 8x.xx and it didn't work in those either). I also tried the 1.05 patch for F2, though I didn't start a new game and it didn't help. Loading up a game from the beginning of the game reveals that the bug is present then, too, but I had to travel much, much farther to hit it.īoth Fallout and Fallout 2 are patched to the latest official versions (1.1 in Fallout, 1.2 in F2). I think I first noticed it when going from the Den to New Reno, but it's now to the point that I can't move from the Ghost Farm to Modoc (ie, about 20 pixels) without force-quitting and restarting about 3 times. Oddly enough, it's also gotten worse and worse as time has gone on. But I slowly started noticing a consistant bug: when traveling through the world map, I randomly(? not sure about that, actually) get a pop-up box that tells me there's been an integer divide-by-zero error, at which point I can't do anything but force quit the game. So I turned to Fallout 2, which I thought might not have that bug. Going back I've discovered that it works all right in DOSBox on my desktop (though fairly slowly, even on my A64 2.36), but is too slow to really be happily playable. It's possible to restore each pixel to its correct state by waving the mouse around a lot (ie, by making the game redraw the screen), but this happens often enough I've yet to make it through killing the first rat before quitting out of frustration. When trying to play Fallout, though, then as soon as I enter the main game the screen more-or-less randomly goes all-black. I just started playing Fallout and Fallout 2 for the first time a couple days ago, having heard that they were great games and getting copies from a friend.īoth install just fine on my Windows XP computer.
