Fallout 2 San Francisco not loading

[HRubss]

Hello all!

I just joined recently to view or discuss Fallout topics. Lately I have been playing Fallout 2, it's a great RPG for sure. Unfortunately I can't continue with the game because San Francisco isn't loading up at all, just a black map. I followed this thread but I'm not getting any luck. I bought the game off of Steam, used the latest restoration pack and installed Sfall as well. Every time I try to change the files to read only (except the LST files) it always goes back to unchecking the read only box? I'm on windows 10 if that makes any difference. Before going to San Francisco, I went to Camp Navarro and killed every one, got the Vertibird blueprints or whatever and then went to the Military base beside Vault 13, I don't know if any of that matters, maybe a glitch?

Unrelated to the topic above questions..
Why do some of my guns "critically hit but no damage"? My sniper rifle and my Assault rife would always kill people in 2 shots but now they're completely useless, do they repairing or something? I also have Marcus as a companion equipped with a Plasma rifle, he doesn't attack enemies anymore.

Thanks for the help!

Didn't let me post the thread because of the link

Awh shit, sorry guys. When I installed sfall, I guess I didn't try to play the game. When I opened it up today, the game let me know that the ddraw.ini was modified which would break the game. I reinstalled the restoration pack and then only replaced the ddraw.dll from Sfall. This fixed my issue, although I would still like my two questions to be answer

There's no repair function for guns, so no. Maybe the guns you are using are no good on armored foes, and maybe you installed some ammo mod with the RP that has some negative effect on them?
As for Marcus not attacking, he could be crippled (though you should get a message about that), have bad combat/weapon settings (check his combat disposition), or maybe suffer from the knocked out bug.

I figured it was just the weapons because I'm doing much better with a guass rifle. Marcus attacks every once in a while, maybe it's just a bug though. Thanks.
