Delete everything you already downloaded, and then download the installer and the fix for your OS. Then make a new clean humongous, install the Restoration, and then apply the fix. This is the only way to get the best possible experience. Unless you can wait a few weeks for 1.2... =]DreadSquirrel said:

The installer is the february version I was talking about. You can't really advise me to download the OS fix and put it over it, because the installer includes the OS fix if I remember correctly, so it could actually make it worse. The OS fix was for the january version (again - if I remember correctly). And I can't make an Humongous install - I made a manual install because that was really the ONLY install possible for me - all others failed - and I tried, believe me! Also the 1.2 version might not be compatible with my 1.1 saves, so there's no point in waiting. I'm nearing the end of the game and I'm not starting anew under no circumstances. 
So thank you for trying to help me! But I know the basics already. So my question remains - which should I use - the january or the february version? (respectively - the archive or the installer, to put in other terms)

Based on this; since the OS fix wasn't removed, I'm assuming that one is not dangerous to install.Killap a few days ago said:
Hello I like to remember of the following questions, I really need help. Please give me some answer.
I spotted two bugs. Both at Gecko.
1. Skeeter doesn't give me the order to get the car part from the reactor. But I tried with out his order. But doesn't work. The concersation at the reator ends with the words that I have to come back because there's a waiting list for the part I requested.
2. down at the rat god at in Gecko. During the conversation before I can ask it if he can stop the attckings at the Vault Patrols. I come to a point where 3 answers were for choice and the last one was displayed with error.
Can some help me fix these problems, especially the 1. one.
Add to the first point. When talking to Skeeter, there is no option recieve the order to get car part. He just complians about the new gecko who's running the reactor now.

The OS fix in the fixes directory is the same as the one found in the new installer.
Are you talking about the 3-step plasma transformer? Also, could you send me a save game?Fasciana said:

Its nice to hear that it worked for at least one person, hopefully this will also fix the infamous klamath canyon bug, however i have doubts about that since i just could not reproduce it.

It worked for me too, but it seems the value of the art_cache_size may vary, it works for me with "art_cache_size=128"
Anyway,
good job with this issue.@ killap:

Not sure if this answers your question- but you have to ask the gun shop dealer for that quest. I had no problem with it.
As for Thomas Moore- you can snitch him to Lynette. Not sure if he ever revoked his own citizenship.

No not yet. But I think I won't need it because I played through the game last week and it worked perfectly, like it always works. This week I installed the mod and at start playing from the beginning, but it didn't work. So I think it has something to do with the mod not with the way I get the quests.
BTW tahnk you for your reply

Hello again I've encountered the next bug which looks like following:
Westin gives me the quest to find out about the brahmin deaths. I'll went their, waited 'till the deathclaws apear. followed them to vault 13. there I solved the voice controll probleme, killt trader. took goris into party (my charckter an he are the olny two persons) and went back to westin's ranch to report --> crash. All the time the game freeze while Westins ranche is loading.
I tried the following. Reloaded an older save game. went to westin again, get the quest, waited till the deathclaws come. BUT didn't followed them this time. I went straight back to westins ranche. Suprise, suprise the game did not freeze.
Is this a bug? do you like to have my save game, where I'm standing in front of the gate where you can enter westins ranche? it's the one with the error.

Some stuff that might be important: The person who said that "black skilldex button" bug is related to having 23+ entries on pipboy status screen WAS righ - just tested it myself, with last SAD holodisk and it did appear. Perhaps this will allow finding the bug and squishing it 
BUT it seems that said bug is - contrary to popular belief - probably unrelated to map corruption bug. I went as far as to go completly outside SAD and back and no freeze occured. So unless I misunderstood something and corruption isn't instant (I never met map corruption bug myself, I only reently learned of it when I started playing RP), then relation between those two bugs is a myth. I'll keep an eye out for it though...
In cease killap wants to check this out by himself here are the savefiles (slot 3 is before reading the holodisk, and suffers from no black button bug unless loaded after slot 5, which is after reading the disk and will cause the bug if pipboy/status screen is visited): http://www.sendspace.com/file/rr8ifb
Also some other stuff I have to report - sorry if some of those were pointed out already, but reading 47 pages of past discussion is a bit much (some of those might actually be issues with the patch rather than restoration pack, it's hard to tell):
1) There seem to be some issues with knockdown hits - on at least three occasions I saw them reported but no knocdown happened: when I was fighting squatters in Den, during the boxing matches in Reno, and with Power Fisted mutants hitting me in Military Base. I'm not sure but I think it might happen only with melee hits. (Note: by knockdown I mean knocking the character to the ground for one round, not the other knockdown that results in several rounds of unconsciousness)
2) In slavers cap the two dogs that are there have their names in lowercase (i.e. "dog" instead of "Dog")
3) On other forums I visit, where several people started playing RP, there has been an report of bug with "repair gecko powerplant" quest, which made possible to "repair" the reactor by talking to Lynette (if I remember correctly) even if you didn't touch the reactor itself (it got automagicly repaired when said person wisited Gecvko again). I didn't try to replicate the bug myself though.

Well I anwered my question myself - february release is incompatible with january release mid-game saves, due to the many script changes.
Keep up the good work!

To the skill dex bug.
I think it has nothing do to with the restauration pack because I played through the game last week. And black skill dex was there, too although I didn't used the mod or the unoffical patch either.
I just installed the dual case version (with the lastest offical patch included on the cd) and the bug appeard, too.
That's why I drop the conclusion that it is a general game play problem.
ADD:
I'm add Vault 15 and had the holodisc of the NCR Spy downloaded and read in the payboy, exit it to the game --> BLACK SKILL DEX
