Hehe Maybe it's not a Killap bug, but definitely a Fallout 2 game bug. I'm sure the devs didn't intend for NPCs to be able to stand two hexes away from you (if even off screen) and be able to shoot at you while you can't shoot at them.
Anyways there's certainly a hole there somewhere because every squatter I've ended combat on and approached again initiated combat when I got close. This guy didn't. He was just gone.

thanks alot. i didnt expect the solution to be that easy. 
Something else for minor bug fixing: This needs a 'watch' image, in Hubologist stash.
Why didn't they use the gold watch from Modoc?
Also, I never had any problem with EPA elevators, but my game sometimes (very rarely) freezes when switching to the dialogue box (which the EPA elevators use) so I checked this.
My fallout2.cfg [system] art_cache_size=524
Why is this so high?

Checked. Didn't find. If it isn't too much of a bother, would you be so kind as to tell the location of that wich you refer to, or at least the solution to the problem I commented?
Thank you

once again i'm in trouble with a bug:
i travelled to the EPA and walked around the underground facility a bit... being there, i fixed the lighting proplem, just like the doc wanted me to.
i also repaired the voice computer and the magnetic coil.whatever. i returned to the doctor an took his serum and stuff. afterwards, i wanted some fun and disabled the power fields via the computer terminals and then killed the beasts and guys that came out of their cells. then i spoke to the doctor one more time and suprisingly, he noticed that i had killed his prisoners and he wanted me to do the very first quest again... to collect the golden gecko pelts in spite of the fact that i already finished the quest before (one hast to finish it to get the light-problem-quest).
i checked the pip boy and there was the quest again... though it was crossed out before. whatsoever, to avoid this bug, i loaded a savegame that i made before i lowered the power fields. then i headed back to the green exit grid to the north to get back to the main epa area. now a real annoying bug occoured: the screen turned black and nothing happened anymore. i restarded the pc and reloaded the savegame and it happened again. everytime i go to the green grid, the game crashes.
it seems as if this can only be solved by loading an old savegame from a location other than the EPA. then, wehn i travel to the EPA and go to the green grid, anything functions as normal. unfortunately, my savegames form outside the EPA are quite old.

Suggested solutions thus far:
1. Modifying the art_cache_size value in fallout2.cfg (change it into a bigger value, like 255 or something):
[system]
art_cache_size=8
2. Installing newer DirectX drivers.
Neither worked for me, but you should try those and report back if either works. If they don't do it for you, then it must be a Win98 problem.
@ dr.radiaki
I just looked at your savegame, and luckily it's easy to fix.
Go to your Fallout2\data\SAVEGAME folder. In your SLOT04 folder, the file EPAX.SAV has gotten corrupt. What you need to do is copy that file from another SLOT and replace the broken one. It' needs to be from a working save where you have been to the EPA. If you don't have that, just use a pre-EPA save and go there and save, then use that EPAX.SAV.
cheers

black screen
my first problem is that i can't go down in the manhole that's in trapper town in klamath (the rat quest). if i try to go down screen goes black and i get application error. Sad i have tried reinstalling, start a new game, tried different "tweaks" that i have read here (removing the map files etc) still doesn't work Sad
my second problem is that i can't find fred at the den. i have found a guy close to mom's restaurant that i guess is him,. (it say he is a klamath citizen or something) but i can't get a convo with him.
i have looked everywhere for fred! he must be invissible or something! i know that when i used official patch only some years ago i didn't have this problem so really wierd that it's only me that got the prob
anyways thx for a great expansion killap!

Other than that I don't know. You don't give much info...
If you lost it by saying one of the following lines to Jo I don't think it's something that is broken:CowTippa said:

help - I'm not a computer techie!
I need help. I used the restoration project file but I am experiencing a lot of common bugs.
I have researched the solutions like finding fallout2.cfg (epa elevator bug) but I don't seem to have it in my fallout folder. I searched through each folder but I can't find that file. If this is programming, I can't do this because Im not really that computer savvy. I couldn't play further anymore because of the bugs, especially in epa.
Is there a way that you can help me? I don't mind uninstalling the whole game again and doing the installing the right away.
Thanks and I'm hoping for your reply. (I'm getting desperate!)
