F2 Win XP problems

E

First time out of the vault
I recently bought the "Fallout Radioactive" box, since F2 is surely the best ever created RPG for computers. I played it though several times on my earlier PC, which had win98. Although the game was buggy (after the patch also), it worked most of the time ok with win98.

But now in my new PC there´s WinXP, and I´m having serious problems with F2 :(

The problem is as follows:

- When I try to exit an area I get thrown to desktop and get an error message "application error" and the backround sound of the game keeps hearing.

Now earlier this happened about once in a half an hour, but recently I´m stuck the The Den because I can´t get to to west side anymore, every time I try to go threre I get thrown back to desktop an get the "application error" message.

I´ve tried the following and none of these help:

- combatibility mode
- disable direct draw acceleration
- disable sound acceleration
- shut down every program running at the same time when I play

Please help if you know any solution to this! I´m very pissed off if I can´t play my favourite game anymore :(

Computer specs:

I have this same problem too, except in my game this is only happening when I try to go from Klamath to Trapper Town, + it happened once in a random encounter.

I've got the UK version of the game, installed only patch v1.05 (ENG).

Obviously I could just ignore going to Trapper Town, but who knows what other areas may be inaccessible further into the game.

Does anyone have any ideas what could be causing this?

Ele, sorry I couldn't be of any help, but atleast now you know you're not alone in having this error pop up.
 
at least you can install the game, It better not happen to me if i ever get it to fuking work... :(
 
Installation error

Had a little problem installing FO2 so I figured if you could help me...
In the middle of the installation my computer gives an error message "cannot find critter.dat & master.dat", after that the installation stops unfinished.

My game is european version (I live in Finland so atleast I think it's european) and it has all gore shit + childrens in it.

I have
windows XP
athlon 3200
radeon 9600,
 
Sounds like your cd is corrupted/broken..Try copying those files from the cd to your HDD..
 
Fallout 2 installation error

It's not the CD, I've tried with 2 different Cd's and both gave the same error message.
