First time out of the vault
Just to start this off: I had no issues with my fallout one install. I'm running windows 2000 on dual 2.4ghz xeons, no problem with power. I've decreased my sound acceleration to basic, disabled hardware acceleration from my video card, and manually installed the game as a huge install (the installer wouldn't work at all for me, it would prematurely end with an incomplete install). The game itself starts just fine, however there are a few very annoying hangs and other lockup issues, and a bug that completely ruins the game.
I installed the 1.05 patch, and I made sure to move the patch000.dat file over into my install directory.
I've also had these same problems with every single type of installation, and i just can't figure out why.
All right, first issue occurs in every type of installation (tiny, medium, large, huge) where the game black screens as soon as I engage the evil plants in arroyo. No big deal, I can skip that.
In a huge installation, if I try to travel to Klamath, the game hangs and locks my machine up.
In small/medium/large installations, this doesn't happen, BUT what does happen is that any building or room with an opening that characters can obviously enter is marked off limits to movement (screenshot). I either have to enter it through a player toggled door, or else I'm just out of luck. That means I can't get vic's radio and advance the story line.
Another example of the bug is that I can't enter the brahmin smoke/slaughterhouse (the one with the fridge and dead cow and locker in it) without going around through the pens and through the door there. It's very frustrating, because at first I thought this was a graphics error involving incorrectly placed opening textures or something of that nature, except that my NPC friend, Sulik, can walk right through them!
Any help is much much appreciated, thanks
