FO1 Military Base issue

First time out of the vault
Hey guys, I'm having a problem inside the mutant military base, specifically the force field generator. I've played the game many times to completion and know I have to use the repair skill or use the Tool to disable the force fields for just a short period of time. However, when I do this, the green force fields just blip off for a fraction of a second before turning back on, making it impossible to pass through. Obviously, I can't finish the game because you need to go through a few of the green ones to get to the elevator.

Has anybody had this problem before and fixed it? I'm running the game on Vista and in Win98 compatability mode if that helps.

Thanks in advance. :D

Tried doing it in combat?

Yes, and it doesn't make a difference in how long the field goes down.

Moved to right forum.

Have you tried simply walking through the red forcefields?

Oops, sorry about wrong forum. :oops:

Yeah, I know about walking through the red ones. You can't walk through the green ones though, and they are the ones you have to disable to get to the elevator to the lower levels. Harry in Necropolis is already dead, so I can't finish it that way either.
 
You can use dynamite to "damage" the yellowreenish fields into "red". As far as I remember.

But this must be a glitch, normally, the fields can be disabled using Repair for a considerable period of time.
 
So after trying a few different things, I finally found something that worked. I hadn't put any points into my repair skill for the whole game, so I went to the hub and bought as many books as I could at the bookstore, raising it up to almost 90 (I had a lot of stuff to sell lol). Thankfully when I used my repair skill on the generators, I was able to make it through. :D

Thanks for all of your suggestions guys.
 
There is no need to use repair at all on the force fields if you have a radio from one of the super mutants outside. I think if you just use the radio on one of the computers (accessible from red ffs), you can disable all of the green ffs.
