I know it's a stupid question, but I installed Fallout 1 yesterday, and although I'm slowly getting to grips with the controls, I can't work out how to run, other than setting myself to autorun, which I don't want to do.


Also, there's a bug where every so often, the whole screen turns black, and I have to "erase" the blackness by moving the cursor everywhere, which gets rid of it. Does anyone know where I can find a patch for this?

Thanks in advance.

I seem to recall double-clicking on where you wish to walk to makes you run there.

What they said.
The gameplay menu also should have an option to turn on 'always run'

Double clicking sometimes works, but I found I can hold Shift while clicking. Thanks for the replies.

i dont know by i have heard that it is ike some sort of fast walking, ask your doctor

If you go to the options, there is a option you can change to set it to "Run Always"

press shift and click i think, it's been a while since i played so correct me if i'm wrong but i've got a feeling you can do that.
also, if you've got autorun on you can do a shift and click to walk somewhere.

i experienced that 'black out' too, i dont remember it when playing FO1 when it first came out so it's probably linked to more recent operating systems. it's a bit annoying but only happens occasionally, when you first get to an area and it doesnt seriously affect gameplay so i just put up with it.
move the screen off to one direction and then back again to clear it quickly.
