It Wandered In From the Wastes
damnit, i thought my computer was safe to this kind of problem but it seems not =_=
When, I suppose, encounter Kaga (it should be the 4th time), my game gives me a black screen and a windows error which says a problem regarding dwwin.exe
Do people here have the same problem?

I don't think its related to the version (or patch) of Fallout you're playing, its a place Windows seems to store data for pre-Vista programs (I' just guessing, but that's what it looks like from the other stuff that's in there). Are you sure you don't have any Fallout files in there, not exactly in AppData, but in a sub folders AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\BlackIsle etc. etc.? But I could be wrong, because I didn't check for save files until after installing Killap's unofficial patch (but it wouldn't make any sense for it to move things around only after the patch).
@ Jabu
I'm very sure since I have been playing around a lot with my Fallout folders. I did not install it on my C: drive however, maybe that makes the difference?
@ touriste
You can always try the following to check if it's the Kaga encounter causing the problem:

It's called the virtual store, and it's part of vista's UAC. Any file writes to the program files directory by limited user applications are rerouted there, so if you installed fallout anywhere apart from the program files folder you wont be affected. You also wont be effected if you set fallout to run as administrator, or completely disable UAC. (Which I strongly advise everyone to do, if you use many pre-vista apps and value your sanity...)Darek said:
It can actually cause a problem for people who don't know about it; if you start a game of fallout, and then later on set fallout to run as administrator, all your saves will vanish. Perhaps that's another fix I should add to sfall.

@Darek thanks for the tip!

First time out of the vault
I believe I've encountered another bug. (and one issue)
1. The bug
Go visit Renesco the Rocketman and collect Mr. Salvatore's tribute of $1000
When threatening Renesco in western New Reno he won't give me any discount. He is supposed to be selling everything for 1$ after threatening him and him yielding to it.
Somehow I think a trigger there has failed, (not a big deal for me I'm crammed with money anyway
) but still, some minor detail.
2. The issue
When flirting and picking up Leslie Anne Bishop (Mrs. Bishop) getting in bed with her, it can be a bit troublesome to leave the room. After you've had 'intercourse' you end up in the top room behind Mr Bishops room, covering the stairs. If you haven't done any jobs for him yet, you're basically trapped there.
Leaving the room will result in him questioning your barging in and shooting commences. A solution to this may be a dialogue option to "I've just been conversing to your wife" making a quick teleport downstairs or placing a guard outside Mrs. Bishops room indulging to escort you downstairs.
This bug was placed before your patch and I remember getting trapped there once before long ago :S
My solution is to start up CheatEngine (software to hack values like a gameshark/action replay) and freeze combat action points to 10, making a run for the stairs in combat before any dialogue can commence.
--------------------------
Nice work btw I came to another place where I recall the game always messing up my progress before where I could come through now
Good job man! Love this patch. Replay it makes valuable time waiting for Bethesda's Fallout 3
Kind Regards

Are you bartering through dialog options or pressing the barter button?salkin said:Go visit Renesco the Rocketman and collect Mr. Salvatore's tribute of $1000

Any of them actually. I tried to do it through dialogue, clicking the button and exiting and then bartering again. All had the same effect.
Any clues?

That is probably true but you are teleported without knowing where. The first time I made a save there, basically ruining my whole game if I was too weak to run out of there.
From a designer point of view most players will believe that she means the room in which she is standing. It has a bed and all.
EDIT: Not a bug, a game stopping design flaw I guess. (although you can cause that anytime in fallout by saving in combat)

How goes the NPC appearence mod for the lastest release? I read you were working on it but can't find any update or download.
Die Officer Jack, Die!
I have found what appears to be a bug with the most recent version of the Killap patch (downloaded last week), or at least one that is not fixed yet. After I have talked Officer Jack down from blowing himself to bits, he is in the prison - so far so good. I intentionally lower my INT in order to get Mira's quest to kill the bastard - and the quest DOES appear in my Pip-Boy after I have done so. I go and do the deed, either with super-stims, or sneak-shooting him in the face. No matter how I do it, though, I cannot fulfill the quest. It is never crossed off my pip-boy, nor can I tell Mira that Jack has been jacked.
I am still at low INT when I try to return to Mira - but I suspect that this does not matter, since I never receive the 2000 xp that I believe I should be getting for croaking the guy, just the 250xp for the actual kill.
Am I doing something wrong?
Thank you again, Killap, for that amazing patch! You have really, singlehandedly made FO2 a stable game. I think that modders ought to work off of YOUR patch as a standard.

I believe this is the 2nd report on this. I shall look into it. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. Post again if you come across something else.
