Hi! Thanks for playingtokisto said:Hi Sduibek!
I´ve been here long time ago, when the FIXT was starting. Was away for a time, and see that the job is improving, well done. A question, didnt find anything mentioned to it: I have the 4.1 installed. To put the new version to work, how do I do? Thanks and continue the work (seems the most problematic "troubles" with Fallout had been fixed, resting just minor bugs, nice!)

You can just install 5.3 on top of 4.1 (in other words, install to whatever folder you have FIXT 4.1 currently).
A quick warning though, I cannot guarantee that the transition will be without issues. A lot has changed since 4.1, so you should be able to use the same character but you may get issues and/or crashes.
If you're willing, best thing to do is make a new character.
Fair enough, thanks for that. Good points.Salk said:I am chiming in to comment on what Sduibek said in reply to Nibiru's post above.
To not disagree with a statement about Fallout FIXT creating more bugs than it removes is a big mistake (if it indeed is not true, as we are all lead to believe by reading the mod's read me file and wiki entries).
Supporting such a claim goes well beyond the realization that some bugs are still in the game even after FIXT is installed.
People would not have any reason to install FIXT (apart for testing purposes) and play Fallout with it.
Please Sduibek consider changing that, making it clear what the real situation about present bugs is with the 5.3 release.
Thanks!
I appreciate your support and insight

Updated the post.
EDIT: I just counted, and the wiki currently has 100 entries under bugs (yikes), however it's *extremely* important to keep in mind that:
- Some of these issues have existed since Per wrote the guides (back in 2001-ish, years before TeamX released their newest version) thus weren't fixed by TeamX before I began work on FIXT.
- Some of these issues have probably already been fixed (at least 10 of them if not more), I'm just leaving them there until I'm 100% sure they're fixed.
- Some of these issues are graphics issues that TeamX's patches were never meant to address, almost all of which are from the original game, or introduced by f1res or ddraw.
- Some of these issues are with the installer itself, not with gameplay or the game.
- Some of these issues are issues with the engine that have nothing to do with me, and will be fixed when my conversion to the Fallout 2 engine is complete.
- This wiki is a new thing for Fallout 1 so it might look longer than it "should" for a while (see below)
Another thing to remember is that as far as I know, there's never before been a wiki-style database of Fallout 1 bugs, except for what Wasteland Ghost and TeamX kept track of internally (i.e. not available to the public) and while we have a thread of Fallout 1 bugs here, it's a lot of work going through all those posts and comparing to available data on which of them still exists. So part of the reason there's so many bugs on the wiki page (if this is only what Nibiru was referring to) is that we're simply rebuilding the list that TeamX and that thread here already had. Thus, many entries have absolutely nothing to do with FIXT.
