Guns 'n crashes...and aimed shots.

[seal2]

Hello everybody.

I recently started to play fallout tactics. Ive got the newest, fully patched, version of it. Unfortuanetly:

A. From time to time, Ive got this error. BOS.exe problem. The program will shut down, and it kicks me back to desktop. I tried all things. Disabling my Anti virus, and closing all background programs, get all system patches, minimum instalation, changing graphics and antialiasing things, etc. Nothing. it pisses me off.

B. i dont know if this is a bug or no, but I cant made aimed shots. i mean, in fallout 2, you could hit a guy in head, left arm, rught arm, torso, groin etc. Im in third mission, got ak-47 and other stuff 9shotguns, uzi, beretta's and so on), but i cant make those precised shots. is something wrong with my version, or is this normal? I reinstalled the game, but it didnt helped. Any ideas?

C. When Im shooting from, for example Uzi, or AK-47 with burst mode (its called full auto) its ok, and it makes those tadadaadadad. But when Im shooting from pistol (for example beretta) with 3 rounds fire mode, i only hear one shot, just like if I was shooting from single shot mode. is this normal, or is it a bug, or something. I reinstalled the game, but it didnt helped. Again any ideas?

My specs: P4 2.6 Ghz HT, 512 GB ram, Windows XP (freshly installed), Ati radeon 9200 SE 128 Mb, realtek Motherboard with integrated sound card. All latest drivers, fixes, patches, etc.

Help greatly apriciated.

Yeah the game does that from time to time, especially when your playing toughguy in turnbased. How often is it happening?

The aimed shots are handled a little differently, instead of flicking through the modes until you get the aimed shot there is a little circle in the item slot below your weapon. In the TB modes it should work as in the rpgs, just left click on the circle to select targeting shots. Though not every weapon has this ability.

If you are playing in CTB the targeting screen won't come up but if you've left clicked on the little circle, in the item slot, your character will automatically make a targeted shot. If you want to change the targeted location right click on the circle to bring up the selection screen to change the default targeted location.

This is normal, pistols only have a single fire animation and what sound you hear is linked to the animation code.
