This is an addition to my previous bug report (
http://www.nma-fallout.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=812117#812117):
I hade more strange bugs with that installation!
I started having lots of empty encounters. Then I got ~4-5 encounters (one after another) in the same map sector, with just enough time to move a few pixels over the world map before getting the subsequent encounter (a bit too crowded to be called a 'wasteland'). Having escaped them, by running off the map, I could pretty much travel across the entire map without getting additional encounters (I had changed "
WorldMapDelay2" in
ddraw.ini to "
=33"). Then I had an encounter with two CARAVANS fighting each other, and when I entered them the guards and caravan masters would start shooting at each other -
not at the other caravan, but their own!
I completely wiped everything associated to my FO2 installation, again. Reinstalled Fallout 2, resulting in a *HUMONGOUS* 1.0 installation. Started up the game to check if it worked at all. I updated to 1.02D. The only changes this brings is the addition of
PATCH000.DAT and a new
FALLOUT2.EXE. I had to extract the contents from
fallout2_v102d_na.exe manually, since this self-extracting executable doesn't run on Vista x64. I started the game once more, to check if it turned 1.02D or if the executable did other changes to the game too. I seems like it just adds the files mentioned above. Everything worked smooth. Added the latest version of the Unofficial patch, started a new game a played a bit just to see if everything worked. Passed Temple of Trials, and ran around a bit on world map, but it seemed to be working good. Installed latest RP version, and started a new character.
The only possible bug I have encountered again is the multiple subsequent encounters I described above. This have only happened while I have been traveling by car, though. I did not edit anything manually inside
ddraw.ini this time.
[spoiler:0983af23b5]I also declined a few new special encounters (with Kaga), resulting in a new special encounter ('Some angry tribals' as far as I remember), immediately after declining the former. After finally running out of luck with 70%+ Outdoorsman skill, I ended up in an empty encounter. A bit later I got 'Some angry bandits', accepted it and killed Kaga. Kaga stayed dead afterwards, and those special encounters ceased. I suppose the reoccurring special encounters could be Kaga *chasing* you, but a bit strange that Kaga & Co. would leave without a trace after finally catching up with you...?[/spoiler:0983af23b5]
