Fallout 1 crashing - only using fixes - instructions at crash

First time out of the vault
Hi all,

Looked around and couldn't seem to find a solution to my game crash. I'm using the fixes only and got the game off GOG.

Basically whenever I enter the VAULT 12 from the sewer and try to resurface the game crashes and gives me a 'instruction at' error. It only happens here for some reason. I have never saved in combat and also I thought maybe my save was bad so I loaded another save, ran to vault 12 bypassing all the loot and just killing the mutants but not looting them (invasion happened) and going up and down the ladder to vault 12 and it worked fine. So I redid the level off that save looting/killing everything and it happened again.

I'm not sure what's causing it but just rushing to vault 12 asap seems to work okay. I even tried not fixing the water pump. I really don't want to redo the level again as I'm getting sick of it at this point.

I tried disabling the high res mod and also deleting ddraw.dll but same thing.

Worst case I'll just rush to Vault 12 snag the chip and say screw necropolis.

Maybe someone can help.

Here is a screenshot of the problem.

There you go man I moved it to the correct forum :)

Oh and just in case anyone is wandering how I moved it, I am a NMA admin :)
 
Are you using my mod? It sounds like you are. If you have a savegame that would be great. It sounds like killing something underground causes the crash, maybe a ghoul, so thank you for the testing, I'll check it out.
 
Hello, Iam adding to this post. Iam using only unmoded 1.2 GoG version of Fallout and i have same problem, when i run into Vault 12, I grab the water chip and go back, the game freezes when i am trying to go up the ladder out of Vault location (i only have killed 2 ghouls who stops you and say "you are entering without permission" ... then they attack). The game stays completely frozen without any error. Iam running the game on Win 7 os, on notebook packard bell Easynote TSX66HR (intel i5 - 2430M Cpu, 6GB ram with Geforce 540M)

Anybody have some insights how to avoid this game freez? Please.
Its really annoying.

I have other problems too .. with random crashes (probably these ones related to often save/loads and combat saving). For example from the time i grabbed part for repairing Power Armor i cant enter lvl 3 Brotherhood bunker .... this one location shut down the game every time (with the error about reading the memmory). In other cases are the shut downs bearable, by doing things on multiple tries and often saving :)

Thanks in advance for replies. Have a good time.
 
@KO23L Could you please send me all of your savegame files? (The entire Fallout\DATA\SAVEGAME folder and subfolder contents) I assume at least one of them is the one that crashes? Please email to [removed]

And you are certain you haven't modified any game files since installing? And could you please provide the exact version number that the game is reporting - you can go to your Add/Remove Programs list to see this.

If you indeed have a non-modified version, I can actually test it myself as I do own the GOG version of the game. I will install it and load your saves, then analyze debug logs when it crashes. :nod:

Lastly, any system config information is helpful as well: operating system, is it 64bit, etc. etc.

Hello,

Iam sending you the saves in a moment (loading them to the email actually).

The save closest to the place of freezing the game is in Slot 5 (its just at the ladder up, already with the chip in the pocket). And if you will have time and mood you can also look on the save in Slot 2. It is closest to the exit of Necropolis map. And you can try to go to the Brotherhood level 3 of bunker to see the debug of this one crash. because it crashes every time i enter there.

To the game progression, i ran a bit unstandard way, because i first blowed out the mutants at military base and then i gone for the water chip .... if this could cause some problems. Also after the blowing out the mutant military base i ordered water deliveries for Vault 13, before i gone for chip.

Iam running Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit version and the machine is intel i5 - 2430M Cpu, 6GB ram with Geforce 540M.

The game version is exact 2.0.0.14 and only way in which I have modified the game a bit is that i have installed the czech language pack. But i have tested the saves on clean GoG install with the same result.

Yesterday evening I have also tested to install the Fixit version of Fallout and the old saves could not been opened (everytime crashed with memmory read error).

Really thanks man for trying to help.
