Fallout 2 crashing upon entering Broken Hills and Vault 13

Melium

First time out of the vault
I haven't found any other occurrences of this in either the Modding or the regular forums. I get an Application error whenever I enter BH or Vault 13. It happens every time, no matter if my game is modded or not. Have tried the non modded original patch, SFall and Killap's Unofficial 1.2patch as well as clean reinstalling every time. I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate. 4.4ghz, 4gb RAM, DX11 (with all back copies installed including 9). I've installed via CD and ISO of the same CD in all configurations (Small, medium, large, HUMONGOUS). There are no other issues at all with the game except it crashes in those two instances. If I've forgotten to provide any information, please forgive me.
 
Is it the same save you have been having issues with or does it happen on every new game you play? Also have you been to those locations previously in that particular save?

Note that when using killap's patch you should have a humongous install.

A few years ago when I installed it on my old computer, it worked perfectly fine and I could enter both places. Since I installed it on my new computer the CD has been in storage. Every time I reinstalled (about 4 times now) i've erased all save games and registry info, so I would have to say its happening on every new game I play. Have been using humongous install when I have tried Killaps patch so I dont think that's the issue. Could it be a bad copy of a worldmap.dat file? Mine is 10kb, not sure if thats normal size or not.
 
I'm wondering if it has something to do with the worldmap.dat file or possibly the Broken Hills, Vault 13 and now Sierra Army Depot maps. Would it be possible for someone to send me a copy of those files and i'll replace my own and see if that works?

Thanks for the help,

i'm having the same problem, both without a mod and megamod installed, and with different profiles, can someone help me pls?
 
also, there is a sort of sound before my game crashes, i haven't heard it during any of my saved games but only when i entered BH...
 
Is it me or are people getting new bugs lately? I'm thinking faulty installs or bad disks. My games have been running flawlessly for years. I usually go with Killap's RP and a few Sfall Mods and it is still solid.

My worldmap.dat is 9.57 kb. or 9,808 bytes. (right click file>properties)
 
alright, i uninstalled and installed fallout 2 again on different drives, and Broken Hills worked with the original version, i believed that the Megamod caused the errors with the BH not working, hopefully when i download the megamod again, it would function correctly this time.
