Emergency update 1 is out. It can be found on the first post of this thread. Or grabbing it
here. Download and extract it to your main Fallout 2 directory. Overwrite the files already there.
You will know you are running the update if the rock at the start of the game (by Klint) says 2.0.1 as the version number.
This update fixes the following issues:
-New version of sfall (2.6b) which fixes the hero appearance mod breaking the players sound effects.
-You can no longer barter with Kaga (this was only the case with the first two encounters of Kaga)
-Going to Gecko with Brother Jason from the Abbey no longer sends you to a completely black screen.
-It was impossible to speak to the Shaman and tribal chief at the Primitive Tribe. In the info box it would say "you cannot reach it". This has been corrected. Note: You MUST enter the Primitive Tribe for the first time for this fix to work.
It appears that some of you are having installation problems. The dos prompt that you see coming up is modifying the master.dat file to fix some of the critter problems in the game (Cassidy combat settings, etc). Apparently this is happening only to those with non English versions of Windows? Can I get some confirmations on this, please?
