In Fallout, in the part where you go with the Blades to slaughter the Regulators after getting rid of the Deathclaw nest, the game freezes after every Regulator is killed. This has happened twice to me so far and it's always right after it says "You have gained 2000 experience." I then have to ctrl+alt+del out of the game and redo it. I've played this part in the game before on a different file, and I could do it without a freeze-up, but not now. Any suggestions? Thanks...
Specific freeze-up in FO1
- Thread starter r00k
- Start date
Uhm, this part of the game is buggy. Although usually my copy would terminate in the beginning of the fight when the Blades arrive.
My suggestion: patch the game, maybe it'll help a bit.
Also, please post your system specs and how does the freeze look exactly. Does the screen literally freeze, or does it go black? Do you get any specific errors?

My game's already patched.
It doesn't go black, it stays exactly where I was looking at in the game. The sound still plays, as well. I don't get any error messages.
Specs:
Windows XP
2.4 GHz Processor
512 MB RAM
Nvidia Geforce 4600
Plenty of free HD space (over 30 gigs)

Hmmm... If you're tough enough you should be able to liberate Adytum without involving the Blades... Check if you can get past this issue that way.
Other than that, I'm afraid I don't know how to help you. Try getting rid of unwanted Windows processes in Task Manager before you run the game, maybe that'll help (i.e. kill any process that isn't "system critical" and thus unkillable
)

When this happened to me in 1.2 it was an exit to windows, not a freeze. Also it always worked if I tried again from the previous save. Try saving just before combat ends.

In a new slot, naturally.
