Crash when wanting to enter Western Klamath :(

First time out of the vault
Hi. :)

I'm using the German Version of Fallout 2 and applied Killap's Patch.

(Not getting it to run first (" Failure initializing input devices. ") I had to switch to compatibility mode AND 256 colors AND force 640x480 ... restarting my computer suddenly it only worked after stopping NOD Antivirus ... yet, no compatibility mode was needed any more

this just for the records :) )

Now I got the problem that it crashes as soon as I want to enter western Klamath (pic below) ... other areas are accessable...

Screen goes black... hitting alt+tab I see a error window... yet I can't read it. :(

Anyone an idea what might be wrong now?

(grml... just when Fallout 2 got me!!)

Hi!

I'm having the same problem as you and im also running the german Fallout 2 Version with killaps Patch applied.

My game does also crash if i try to enter the vertibird crashsite.

I'm running the game on Windows XP Home 32 and 640x480.
 
Well ... using DxWnd I managed to run Fallout 2 in windowed mode... and got the error window to be seen...

Not much of info in there though... :(
 
Okay... it's the patch. :(

Made a new clean install (*), copied it and applied patch 1.2 to the first copy and Killap's patch to the 2nd copy.

Still couldn't enter West Klamath with Killap's version.

Restarting the game with patch 1.2 I can enter it.




(*) thx to pennyliu123. I followed his advice in the Sticky FAQ thread:
With Microsoft Application Compatibility Toolkit 5.0 I was able to run setup.exe normally ... no manual install was needed.

Delete the patch000.dat File and replace the .exe file with the one found in the 1.02 Update this might fix it,Killap says you no longer need to apply the patch000.dat file thanks to his Patch
 
Are you running the latest version of my patch? Are you using the installer or manual version? What OS are you running?
 
Since im having the same problems as him, (German FO2, Vertibird crashsite) i'll also answer your questions.

I'm running the lastest version of your patch and i have used your installer. My OS is Win XP Home 32.

Btw, the Rock in front of the temple of trials says ERROR if i examine it, maybe it has something to do with the german textfiles?


Edit: Ok, i've just made a fresh install of FO2 and applied your manual patch but it'll still crash if i try to enter the vertibird site.
I've also checked if i have the patch000dat in my FO2 directory, but it isn't there.
 
Howdy. :)

No patch000.dat in the directory as I ONLY applied killap's patch.

It's the current version 1.2.21 (though the exe says 1.2.20)
... I downloaded this one yesterday.

I used the installer.

Don't know if it's of any use...

I don't think it would cause a crash, but you will notice some other similar "ERROR" messages throughout the game due to not having the latest .msg files.

I suppose I could use a save game from both of you. Send them to the e-mail address found in the readme of the patch.
 
Isn't the German version lacking "gory" art like mutilated corpses in addition to Europe's general lack of children? Maybe you can already enter simply by setting the violence level to minimum?

This bug should be fixed. It was the result of including work from the expansion. There are still some dialogue errors but they will be addressed for the next patch release.
 
Hi everyone,

I just registered only to contribute to this topic.
I'm running Killap's patch (1.02.22) over the german retail version as well.

I've experienced reproducable crashes when entering western klamath and the military base southeast of San Francisco (when crossing the actual entrance of the base after clearing it with the dynamite).

I'm not entirely certain anymore, but i think i once actually got into western klamath, after travelling around a bit.
But I'm at a dead end with the military base.

If I can help by mailing files or anything i gladly will.
 
i have the same problem when i want to enter Trapper Town in Klamath, i hear a "ding" error message and game crashes
i can enter the vertibrid map just fine
i have the normal european version + your latest patch
i'm running Windows XP

hope u can help me, your effort is appreciated :)

LATER EDIT: I've read the Topic on the patch and deleted KLAMALL.MAP as kilap said and it worked, thanks :D
 
I have reinstalled my F2 today, and now i am having the same old problems with the vertibird crash site again.
All i did was to install the official german patch, killaps restoration project 1.2 and rename my text folder into German.

I did find a fix for that a half year ago, but sadly i can't remember how i did it, i hope someone can help me here.

Edit:
I have an idea, i'll try to install Neuromancers bloodpatch because something in my brain tells me that killaps edited us data wants all gory animations and not only the childrens. I've tried to lower the settings for gore, but it'll still crash.

Edit 2:

Killap, i hope you'll read this, because what i wrote above will fix the bug with the crash site and the military base for european versions without gore.
With the fogp patch i can enter both now without problems.
 
Do NOT install any official patches, if you want to use other mods or patches. Go to your Fallout 2 folder and delet the "patch000.dat" - you don't need it.

It helps some people, if they change the gore level to the absolute minimum. Then the game didn't crashed. I for my self don't know what exactly the problem is. I can not reproduce the crash and it seems like it happens only if you do not use the original Fallout 2 version. The DVD version and the version from Gold Games has this problems, as far as I know.

Try the FIFE critter patch, to get the missing gore animations back into the game.
 
It may help for some people to reduce their gore level, but my problem and that of some others here (as far as i could see from old pm's) could only be fixed with the missing animations.

Btw, i own a Radioactive Box and both original Fallout retail games and all installed Versions caused the same problem.
Don't break your brain about the patch000.dat, because killaps restoration project will uninstall it automatically.
