Hi, Killap. Just thought I'd mention that after starting a new game and getting up to level 19 with your patch, I have only had one special encounter (toxic waste dump, which I chose to avoid). I started with Luck 6 and got Luck 8 around Level 12. Normal encounters happen at the proper...

I am sorry to report that the geiger counter barter bug is still in. Nobody wants those things!

I have started a new game, and most things appear to work just fine. I did notice this: When you get the Salvatore quest to extort Renesco, you can no longer get any sort of discount when you ask for it. I tested, and the prices are exactly the same as when I talked to him before mentioning...

Already did. It's all good. I never got the bright idea to delete my entire directory before re-installing the first time around. Didn't occur to me. The game I was playing wasn't really your patch anyway since all the old stuff was probably gumming it up and giving me crazy CTD bugs and...

Tried that. I deleted everything except the saves, but I still get a CTD when I try to load any of them.

OK, first I uninstalled the game and reinstalled from the orig. CD to v. 1.0, then applied patch A. Did not fix the problem. Then, I looked in my Fallout 2 folder and found the patch000.dat and deleted it. Then I uninstalled the game, then installed v. 1.0 from my disk, then applied patch...

I installed the Final B patch over the Beta A patch. To be clear: I did a fresh install of the game, then installed your original patch for 1.0, then intalled your Final patch B on top of that.

Another problem: I cannot get to Westin's ranch. I have the recommendation from Dumont, and when I talk to the guard he says he will let me in, and goes over to the terminal, but the emitter doesn't turn off. When I talk to him again, I get the "I need to see Westin again" dialog, and he goes...

A note on special encounters: I am playing a character with a 10 luck (at least, 10 after getting the +2 in NCR around level 8 ). I am level 15 now and have yet to get a single special encounter. Is this just unlucky encounter rolls on the world map? Every other time I've played I had the...

Hey, thanks. :D I'll give it a try. BTW, I am very impressed with your approach to fixing the ammo problem. I had thought of it before, but did nothing since I possess zero mod skills. Luckily you do. :)

Killap: do you think Cubik's mod will work with your patch? Just wondering. It seems neat, if it works the way I think it does (ie by changing the armor characteristics depending on the ammunition, which is the correct way to implement armor piercing behavior, IMO).

Thanks for the patch! Although you don't mention it being fixed, the NCR crash bug I reported previously has disappeared. Thanks again! :D

Killap patch crash bug Hi, Killap. The patch is generally great, but I have encountered the following crash bug: I get an immediate CTD upon entering the NCR. Specifically, it happens when I click on the triangle. I have never entered the NCR before in this particular game. I'm level...
