[FO2] Broken Hills: Missing People: crash talking to Francis

Groov

First time out of the vault
In Broken Hills, for the missing people quest, after you find the people and read the note, you get some mini red text above your character that says talk to so and so and Francis. When I talk to Francis and click on 'It'll have to.' when he suggests leaving, FO2 crashes and I get one of the two following error messages: 1) the application requested the runtime to end in an unusual way and was terminated, or 2) the memory could not be read. It seems like some sort of video issue related to Francis being taken out of the broken hills map as he is leaving town. I hope I can solve this because I can't get all the xp for the quest when I can't talk to Marcus or the wife's dude until I talk to Francis.

Also I have a unique video setup as I'm running a Lenovo laptop with switchable graphics. The integrated graphics (intel gma) or the discrete graphics (radeon 3650m). I use the radeon usually, but this error occurs under both video configurations.

This error happens every time I try and I can't get past it. Moving on to New Reno for the time being. I have messed around with different resolutions, 8 and 16 color bit, to no avail. Not using sfall.

Windows Vista SP2, Core 2 Duo mobile centrino 2 chipset, RP2.0.
 
Ah, thank you!

I am extremely appreciative of what you and others have done here with the restoration project. It has been at least ten years since I played Fallout 2, and I remember getting stuck in New Reno on some bug and giving up. Thanks for all your hard work!
