There's a key difference - it doesn't require purchasing a separate XP license for the machine, whereas with VirtualPC or VMWare, you need to own a copy of whatever other operating system(s) you install. If you don't have an extra XP license, or you buy the upgrade version, which revokes the...

All of this talk of failure in Win7 64-bit sounds like a good reason to make sure (if you're going to upgrade to Win7 upon its release) to buy a version that has the feature that lets you run WinXP in a VM for backwards compatibility (Professional or Ultimate - it's really too bad that they're...

What? There's gonna be a Yiddish translation? :D

Re: Additional content for 1.3 I'd assume that the reason 1.4 is so far away is because of all of the extra content, so it wouldn't be a matter of simply pushing 1.3 off a few weeks, but basically skipping 1.3 and releasing 1.4 as 1.3. Personally, I'd rather see 1.3 soon-ish, and have 1.4 add...

Not quite. Initially, he said August. Then it was September. Then after focusing on his classes for awhile, the end-of-December date became his target. :) I'm not saying that to criticize Killap, and fully appreciate that this is a "spare time" effort, and that we have no right to demand...

http://www.xkcd.com/524/ How very 2007 of you, Ravager. :)

Given that the patch is released on two English-only sites (this one and killap.net), how many people who don't understand English are likely to be waiting to download 1.3 immediately upon release? Even if 1.2 and earlier have gotten extensive press coverage on gaming sites and in gaming...

Very exciting indeed. I'm having a blast with Fallout 3. It's a great game, but it has enough shortcomings that I'm increasingly nostalgic for a "real Fallout" game, and am looking forward to playing Fallout 2 RP in the new year! Thanks again, Killap, for all of the great work you've done...

No. The patch contents are included in the Restoration Project.

I had created a fallout.ini file in the game directory, based on fallout_default.ini. I didn't think to look in the My Documents directory structure. When I edit THAT fallout.ini file, it works. Thanks for the help! Mikael - I'd definitely suggest adding this to the readme file, which...

Not working for me I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but this mod isn't working for me. I've tried uncompressing the archive into my main FO3 directory (so that I get Fallout 3\Data\Textures\....), and I've tried uncompressing it into the data directory like the Readme says (so that I Get...

I agree with those who say this is a non-issue. If people really want to cheat their way through the game, they will. They can use this exploit, or they can use a savegame editor. Those who want to actually play the game won't use the exploit. I've known about this exploit for years, and...

I didn't say you were lying, I was just referring to the fact that you said NO ONE is disappointed. :) I am, but I hope I made it clear that I'm by no means disappointed in or upset with killap. I'm just a bit disappointed I wasn't able to play it last weekend. As for free time, if you...

Despite what Wintershade said, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a bit disappointed when it didn't come out Saturday, but your real life needs to take priority, and besides, with Fallout 3 coming out tomorrow, even if you released 1.3 today, I probably wouldn't get to it for awhile, since I...

It seems like it's a little bit early to be making that determination. Yes, Fallout 3 is basically using Oblivion's engine, but I understand it has undergone quite significant core changes since Oblivion's release, and it really was quite a good engine to begin with (even if it's system...

You could just turn on topic watching so that you get an email every time there's a new message in here. For some reason, though, this site turns off topic watching every time you reply in a thread (I'll have to re-watch this topic after I send this message). I've never seen a forum do that...

You and me both. I've halted my current 1.2 game in anticipation of starting over in 1.3. Every so often I get that "I wanna play Fallout 2" itch, and I keep having to tell myself that my progress will be for naught if I don't remain patient. :)

Incidentally, to aid in testing, this never affects the first quick save (the one that brings up the save dialog and asks what slot I want to use). Only the following quick saves (the ones that are actually quick) that screw up the preview. Also, I did just confirm that it affects 1.7 on my...

Speaking of Quick Saves - on my system, the preview image for Quick Saves (Fallout 2) is completely scrambled. On normal saves, I see a normal preview of the game screen. I haven't noticed if this bug still exists in 1.7 (I've gotten out of the habit of using them because of the bug), but it...

I experienced this issue myself. I was running into Becky's to finish a quest, and the game slowed to a crawl. I saved, exited, and restarted, and it was fine. It's the only time I've seen such slowdowns so far. I'm running in WinXP, not ME.
