Alright, one last try before I give up

I got the old version of FO2 installed, thanks to help from the forum, but now Ive run into a new problem
Immediately after the intro finishes, the screen just pixelates and freezes. If I exit, and re-open, I can hear the menu music but the screen is just black. I can even start the game...I just cant see anything.

Ive installed killaps's patch, the high res patch, played around with the compatibility settings, and even re-installed without any luck.

I know this is a common problem because all of my searches led me to other forums, and other chumps doing their own searches.

Anyone got any specific ideas, some easy fix a rookie PC gamer like myself may have missed?

If I nut up, and pay to download the XP version will that even work?

I just wanna play FO2 dude :thumbsup:

(damn, I type o'd my thread title, Ive been on-line to long, eye's tired)

Like the Title Name btw

Umm nothing I know off Mine worked fine and I added all the same stuff you have...maybe just a bad download which Is possible..I wouldn't get the XP version till you know it won't work.

I actually bought an original disc, which by the way, looks to be perfect.

But yeah, I really dont wanna mess with downloading the XP version, if it might just end up not working either

LAME!

The GOG.com version has been updated by GOG staff to work on XP/Vista, so you can be relatively confident it will work if you feel like giving in and paying $5.99 for it. The only problem you might have is distorted colors, and there is several quick ways to fix that.

As for your continued problems, I have no suggestions... try No Mutants Allowed, they are more dedicated to the older games and have a forum.

You installed the unofficial patch... but did you install the official patch?

HAHA! I flippin did it!

I re-installed my ATI driver. Also, when I was manually installing the game, I was transferring the "critters" and the "master" files, but this time I re-installed, and added the "setup" file

Not sure what did it, but it did it

I also installed the "killap" patch, and the "restoration project" expansion. Kick ass.

Thanks for the help guys :foodndrink:

I saved right after I created my character, and am outside of the temple. Im gonna go play...

(fingers crossed)

Isn't it the European version, though?

Nope.
