Especially when the client often needs updating and can be pretty slow to connect sometimes. So it's completely pointless to have a client running in the background for Fallout to be played.
I mean I get it, new games have achievements (which I don't like but that's beside the point) and thus need you to be linked to your profile, but Fallout and Fallout 2 don't. Also, they don't require a client being launched for every game. I recently bought games that are much older than fallout and they all work great, they have clearly been tested and everything. I'll buy them on GOG.com, way better service and follow up. If it was a really really old obscure game that has few known patches and has issues working on current systems I would understand, but the fact is this game works flawlessly on any other platfrom than Steam.įrom now on, I'm not buying old school games on steam anymore. The simple fact that we need a whole forum and thread to play a game that should simply work is crazy.

You can try to add another directory in steam (like C:/Games/Steam) and install Fallout 2 there and see if the bug persists.
Thanks again is your current steam install directory ? If you didn't change it, by default I think it's in Program Files. I recall telling myself : "I should always buy games, if only to avoid all the hassle of patching / cracking / modding a game before playing"
#Fallout 1 dos how to
This guide tells you how to use high-res textures, which is nice, and incidentally fixes the video problem (at least it did work for Fallout 2). I made Fallout 2 work, with many difficulties, and following this guide here, but it didn't work for Fallout 1, and I can't even think of trying Fallout tactics, because of how complex it seems to be.

Not gonna buy them, because I'm not gonna pay twice for the same game, but for anyone wanting to buy that game I'd recommend going there, at least for older games since they always make sure they are compatible with current systems, run in full screen etc. Since steam doesn't seem to be responding to my messages, I've been looking around and I found that gog.com sells these games, and they are 100% compatible with recent systems. So all in all, Steam sells a product that won't run on current hardware for the most cases, and doesn't warn the buyers, and to top it off they modded the game to fit their requirements, without regards for the fact that it blocks any modifications on the game that would actually fix the problem. Since shooting people in the groin is part of the Fallout charm, it's a costly trade-off. Fast Shot: Higher ROF is great, but you lose called shots. Your real choices are between Fast Shot, Small Frame and Finesse. The 1.2 is not an official version, it's the Steam release (basically the difference is that it forces the steam client to be opened for the game to be launched). Gifted is the best trait and such a no-brainer practically any build should take it.

Did they even test it before releasing?Īlso, apparently the patches and the mods that fix this problem can be applied on the 1.1 version of the game, but not the version 1.2, which is the one Steam gives. I think it's shocking that steam proposes a purchase without at least telling us that there is this compatibility problems.
