Various problems

I recently bought FallOut Radioactive (20 quid was well worth it :D). I've been having a few troubles, so I decided to come here - haven't been here in... oh, well over 2 years. Used to talk to someone called Slayer a lot, though that's most of what I can remember. Anyway:

1) The game keeps crashing on the Enclave teaser\'people in the wrong place at the wrong time' scene. The conversation goes on, the people are blown away, drop to the ground and the game crashes and reports an error of some sort (I get a black screen, so I have to alt+tab, press space as a shortcut to the 'ok' on the error and then I am in the desktop again). This keeps happening, even when I start from an earlier save and travel around.
Any ideas? Perhaps I need 1.02, which brings me onto the next problem...

2) Patches. I'm using the UK version, by the way.

Short version: In short, I -think- the savegame conveter utility doesn't work for my version, at a critical point in the game. I can't find another version of the converter- can anyone help?

Long-winded, rambling version:
I'm fairly certain I began my game with version 1.02, since it's very important FO2 is patched, of course and the FOR bonus CD has them on. The other day FallOut for no reason complained about needing 20mb of free disk space- I have 3.75 gig. So I uninstalled and then reinstalled to another HDD.

Despite what I thought I did with a patch for 102 (I'll spare the details) I must have installed the game and patched into version 1.0 since this is the only version I don't get "OLD SAVE" for in the Load menu. So my current saves and character (Up to Modoc, as the above indicates) are thus for that version. I've tried doing an install from scratch and it works. The save game converter utility dislikes the version (Is it for US only?)... bah, I'm pretty lost myself. :P

Any assistance is appreciated.

Yeah, I don't think it works for 1.01 (i.e. the UK version), only from 1.00. But if you're playing 1.02 already you shouldn't need it, right?

The version number should be on the title screen.

I checked and it's version 1.01, which means I -must- have been playing in 1.01. If I apply 102 then, my save games are incompatible and that save game converter won't work for them. So wtf do I do? Blargh.

I guess I'll have to restart. Had done Klamath, Den and Modoc... >_<
Oh well. I'll just get to that Horrigan encounter asap first and see if it crashes again or not.

An "easy" way of passing time in the game is to use Falche, reduce your current HP by a few and set your Healing Rate to 0. Then pop into the Pipboy and click on "rest until healed". Then you can go away and do something else while the clock advances to the Horrigan encounter.

Actually, lol, I just restarted. Took me about 2 hours to get the same character back to where I was in Modoc and now everything is fine - Horrigan encounter didn't crash especially. Hooray for persistence!
