System Requirements
Currently we have confirmed that the demo should be playable on a clean install of Fallout2 1.0, unpatched. If someone has it working on a patched version of FO2, please let us know so we can add this to our supported systems list.
Installation Instructions
1. Rename your C\Program Files\BlackIsle\Fallout2\data directory to "data.org" or "data2".
2. Extract the zip file above to C:\Program Files\BlackIsle\Fallout2. It will replace the original data directory.
3. Open the extracted data directory and set the "proto" directory to Read-Only. Apply this change to all enclosed files and subdirectories.
4. Run the Fallout2.exe executable and start a new game. After getting through the start videos, you will start at the imarket map.
Change List
-Fixed West exit grid on starting map.
-Added East exit grid to destination map so that user can return to the starting map.
Bug Reporting
Our Mantis Bug Tracker is available to anyone who wants to sign up and log defects they find in the demo. Please keep in mind that if you find and report a defect we may need to ask for more information if we are unable to reproduce it or if we would like you to test the fix.
What NOT to report:
-Complaints or flaming, I.E. "Where are all the NPCs!" or "You guys sux0rs."
-Major feature requests such as new quests, NPCs, or adding mind-controlling aliens to the game. Minor feature requests or improvements are okay, but we make no guarantee that we will implement them.
-Obvious missing elements that just haven't been implemented yet. Unless you have access to our private forums, you probably don't know what those elements are anyways.
Anyone who does not obey these guidelines will be warned and/or banned from use of the tracker.
What to report:
-Generic bugs related to maps, quests, scripts, dialogue, etc. Basically anything in the game that does not behave the way that it should.
How to Report a Bug:
1. Sign up on the tracker at http://fmf.filmchicago.org and confirm your account from your email address, then you can log in to the tracker with your username/password.
2. After logging in to the tracker, you will start at the "Main View" page. If you have reported any past defects or have anything assigned to you, it should be displayed on this page.
3. Click the "View Issues" link in the top menu to be transported to the bug list.
4. Do a search for the bug you found to see if it has already been entered. If it is already entered, please do not re-enter the same bug a second time.
5. If there is no bug logged yet for the issue you are reporting, click "Report Issue" in the top menu to create a new bug entry.
6. In the bug report page, fill in the fields with as much information as possible:
