You can't have done that much research then: these mods are not computable. NV is a great mod, you will be able to play it along side Killaps work, in the next megamod.

You must be thinking of a different mod.aFalloutDude said:

New Vision doesn't retouch anything, it adds a new major plot and several subplots, according to its description...

just running the exe has nothing to do with my skills. version of FO2 is 1.02 mainly because my orignal copy of FO2 was lost since the last time I moved from Charlotte, NC to Ft. Bragg so I bought a dual jewel case with FO1(still had) and FO2. I'm not a moron and I can follow instructions the game was running fine aside from the empty encounters(one after the other) until I extracted the files mentioned above. now FO2 will only get to the IPLY logo Anim and lock up. I dont know what I could have possibly done to cause this on my own. I have nothing odd or unusual running on my system.
but according yo you I'm the only one with this problem.
Well, the Expansion with all the fixes can be tricky to install.Hammett said:
It's pre-patched on the CD? Interesting. I think there's one other report in this thread of problems (not "IPLY" though) with such a version. I think there were also instructions on how to possibly downgrade. Please check, if you decide to don't wait that month after all.Hammett said:
OK I reinstalled the way you said and it seems to be working...
Except the world map is really, really slow. It takes several seconds to move one pixel.
This is what I had in the last game after applying the latest ddraw fix and mentioned it. I didn't have this problem when I first started the game with the fixes that were available on the 19th. However I haven't had any 'empty encounters' yet, which I did with the previous ddraw.
What's the reason for the slowness?

Several second for "one pixel"? That's odd since the movement is based on FPS and thus no longer dependant on CPU speed. The movement you see should be the same I am seeing. Either way, you can alter this by going into the ddraw.ini file. Again, the readme holds the answers to these questions.dagorkan said:
That's right, several seconds per pixel. I checked the ddraw cfg, it's set at 30. I just changed it to 60 and went back in, it seems almost the same.killap said:
Also, it doesn't seem like it's just my icon moving slowly, it's more like trying to run a modern game on a 386 Mhz computer, moving the cursor takes ages to update, so it's jerky as if there's just not enough CPU/resources (I have a 2.13 Ghz, 2 Gbs RAM). The music seems jerky too. I went into Task Manager and it showed Fallout2 taking up 40% of CPU which seems high but shouldn't cause that kind of lag.
I just got fucked on the protect the bramhin mission... I had two of the cows die, but the guy got mad anyway and claimed I owed him 1500 for ten deaders.
Yargle. So this has probably been posted about, but I'm too high to read the 20 pages right now... But modoc seems to be a lil screwy. The outhouse just jacked me too. Going out of it gave me damage, but the explosion never happened and my dynamite went away; no shit everywhere, path still blocked.

Changing from 30-60 should make quite a difference actually. Tell me how you installed the expansion. Also, what does the main menu of the game say?dagorkan said:
I did an F2 humongous manual install to a fresh directory, used your installer, then the fixes, nothing else. The main menu says the right version and there's the rock behind Klint right at the beginning. I'm gonna try restarting my PC and getting rid of all the other background processes.killap said:
Ok, but what OS are you running. And you used one of the two directories included depending on your OS, right?dagorkan said:
OK, I found an option in the cfg file
Don't know why it was needed... don't know much about hardware tech, is having an unreliable high performance timer something to worry about?
Hopefully there won't be any other problems, thanks for your help Killap.
Setting it to 1 has fixed the problem.

Interesting. This was something Timeslip added. I shall have to ask him about the function of it.dagorkan said:
Is it random crashing or can you pinpoint something that you do that causes it? Also, please list system specs and language of your Fallout 2.Grimhound said:
