Game Freeze's As I enter Vault 15?

First time out of the vault
Hey, I'm new to these forums, and came here to see if anyone could help me with a problem I'm having at the moment, which is stopping me from progressing (or so I think.) further into the main-story of Fallout 2.
Well, here's the situation. At first I entered Vault 15 fine, I got into combat killed a guard, and led one over to the elavator so when I get onto low health I can quickly go back up, rest, come back down and repeat as many times as needed. Unfortunatly on the last occassion I did this, as I went down back into the Vault I was literally standing in the enemy standing next to the door, and as I entered combat the game froze. I could alt+tab out of the game or use the windows key to close the game, but as I loaded up the save game outside of the Vault, I went inside to find the same problem. I thought this could be a momentary thing, so I headed over to broken Hills, New Reno and Vault City to finish loooaaads of side quests, but as I went back the I found the same problem. So, can anyone tell me how to fix this problem, prefferably without having to re-install the game. :S

My version of the game is collectors edition, with Restoration Project installed I believe. On the main screen, at the bottom right corner it says version '1.0.0' so if I have to patch, could anyone please say so.

Thanks.
 
I don't know anything about that mod but first thing I would do is ether push the NPC off me or move off it then start combat with noone stacked on me.

I think it frezzes because the NPC on you is trying to attack you but you are on the same spot and it can't.

if the NPC enters combat before you can push it or move try entering in sneak mode r with a stealthboy on and then push it or move off.
 
if all fails you can always copy and paste the v15 map from an older savegame. you have to go the fallout dir, then data then the folder named SAVEGAME. Copy vault15 map(s) from an older savegame to whatever saveslot it is you want to.

if don't have any idea what I'm talking about, just ask and I will explain more.

With the RP installed it should say "FALLOUT II 1.02.25 RP 1.2" so either you didn't installed it correctly or you are missing some files.

Do you have a ddraw.dll and ddraw.ini in your fallout folder?

Also did you remember to set the protos to read only?
 
I'm having a similar problem, but with Sierra Army Depot. I've already opened the door with the Howitzer, but every time I attempt to enter the building, or leave the map, the game freezes. The sound still plays, but I cannot move my character.
