my computer went into emo mode and shot itself, necessitating a reinstall of Windows XP. Now, as noted in the title, I cannot load Fallout 2. I get a message that says "Cannot find the master datafile. Please make sure the Fallout cd is in the drive and that you are running Fallout from the directory you installed it to." I have the US version and it was installed as a Large installation. I'm sure I'm missing some crucial, obvious detail here.
Had to reinstall windows, now I can't play
- Thread starter lmao
- Start date
For one you should have installed it as a humongous install. Large will still leave files on the CD I think.
Reinstall, and everything should be OK.

Yeah, read the bleeding stickies.
yep, unfortunately my computer is a piece of shit and will not install it on humongous. it's not my disc as every disc I have had will not install on humongous. if my computer weren't a piece of shit I wouldn't have had to reinstall Windows, but c'est la vie, or some other piece of faux french crap.
Read the stickies, do a manual install of the master data file.
See if it helps.
