F2 ends suddenly HELP!

[Szkeptik]

Hi!

I've been playing F2 since forever, and I love it, but often I see a vision of the shaman saying how the village is all dead and then the screen turns white and I find myself back in the main menu. Obviously I hit somesort of time limit, but this usually happens very early, like when I'm halfway from Den to Vault City or doing the reactor stuff for Gecko. One time I killed the brahmin in Klamath and the Shaman appeared right after I left the town and the game ended.

Sometimes I get advanced warning from the shaman, telling me to hurry, but then justz a few game days or weeks later he gives the final speech again and I'm back to the main menu.

Why is this happening and how can I turn it off or avoid it?

No takers? Is this such a difficult question? I can't be the only one experiencing this problem...

I can only tell you that it shouldn't happen. There is a time limit which throws you out of the game, but it's not related to the dreams. If it weren't for that, I might have guessed your computer is doing wonky things to the game timer. You're not by any chance using any mods?

Thanks for the reply.

I don't know about my computer, but I remember it happened without the unofficial patch installed because I didn't know about that at the time. Now I've reinstalled it and been playing for two days, and no problems, though the shaman did send a message, and that's why I paniced and wrote here.

I'm getting the trilogy box a few days from now and I don't want to risk paying money for a game that doesn't let me play it.

It does look like that low karma triggers this somehow, especially if I go around killing in Klamath.

Ah, turning against Arroyo is a big no-no. There is a bug where killing brahmin in downtown Klamath could trigger this ending. Doesn't explain why it would happen at other times, though.
