Yes, that's precisely what I was talking about. The fix I posted should solve that.AgentOtaku said:
I'm only playing with the 360 pad as it feels much smoother while exploring. The analog walking (which you obviously cannot do while using a keyboard) and smoother camera motion is appreciated in a slower paced game such as this.

Bingo ...this is prolly while I'll end up enjoying this more with a controller ...Same thing with Oblivion.
Believe it or not but the small pans and suttle changes in movement speed really do add alot

Chiggs said that the game HAS to keep running at 60fps for the ini fix to work? ...other wise a framerate drop will get rather ugly?
...hmm, I've been framerate cap happy as of late so who knows

I was already thinking that from the very beginning when I started reading what food was giving you
So I played this for a few more hours last night. I'm having a lot of fun with it.
Even if the game does level scale badly like Oblivion (can't tell this early in the game), the fact that you have to explore and finish quests to find new locations just keeps me going. Oblivion was a ridiculous bore when you had the entire map available to you, and you knew exactly what you'd be doing for the rest of the game.
Oh, and I can't believe you get THAT for Moira's quests. I'm definitely motivated to finish it now.
I'm doing the minefield currently...how the hell do you get by without the mines, or the sniper blowing you up? Can I get a mine detector?
Also, what's the downside to being crippled?

I've been switching off between kb/m and 360 controller....
I like having mouse control in the pipboy, loot screens, and merchant screens; makes those processes about 50% faster.

This keeps happening to me, constantly. Last night I managed to get in one solid play session of something like an hour and a half, but the rest of the time I couldn't play for more than 15 minutes without randomly crashing to the desktop (and needing a reboot to get the game running again). And sometimes only 5.
I've tried every fix that people have recommended on the bethsoft forums and elsewhere, to no avail. I spent more time last night trying to fix this than actually playing.

I think you might have encountered a bug with the whole "killing the Sheriff incident". I tried doing EXACTLY what you were talking about, and when I busted a cap in the Sheriff's head, everyone and their mother went completely ape-shit and started attacking me. Guns, bats, switchblades, everyone wanted me dead. I even tried leaving Megaton, but the mob either followed me out, or if I ever returned they would just kick the shit out of me again.EviLore said:
Also, I completely destroyed my first play-through by blowing up Megaton before getting the next lead on where my father was, so I think I broke the main quest. I probably could have just stumbled on the next location to continue the main quest, but I figured I'd just start over.
Well, I haven't experienced it myself, but he says that, while using this setting, if your framerate drops below 60 fps the actual game will run in slow motion. So, you basically need to hold 60 fps at all times for this to work properly. That hasn't been a problem for me, though, but I'm sure some PCs will struggle.AgentOtaku said:Chiggs said that the game HAS to keep running at 60fps for the ini fix to work? ...other wise a framerate drop will get rather ugly?

Thanks! I'm actually surprised by those shots, to be honest. It is a big step down, but it doesn't look that bad at all. Are you actually using 640x480 resolution?MMaRsu said:I took some screenshots for you a couple of pages back
How does the framerate hold up?
AgentOtaku said:
On a related note, does anyone know the specifics of using the 360 headset/mic plugged into a 360 controller plugged into my PC? Everything seems fine from a Vista perspective (ie. I can hear and record from the mic) but when I tried to chat with someone on my friends list, I could hear his voice over my speakers and he couldn't hear me at all.

Each body part crippled will have different effects. If it's hands your aiming with weapons will be effected, if it's legs you'll walk funny... etc.TheExodu5 said:

I hear that, if you clock all of your points into Luck during the S.P.E.C.I.A.L part, it gives you a +5 bonus in every other stat - or something of the like. Is this true? Because, if so, I'm going to restart right now.

Yeah it doesn't look as bad as say HL2 using the lowest settings. I'm surprised that the game runs quite okay, sure it dips every now and again, but its probably just cause my processor can't keep up.
Let's just say it's still very playable. I noticed that if the game runs for a long time, it will run better, any idea why that is?
Using 800x600 resolution btw, lowest settings.
Any min-max experts here?
I have the guide, and Charisma influences speech, barter, and "disposition of others towards you." I'm debating dropping Charisma to 1 and using skill points (high Int, bobbles, and books) to get my Speech and Barter to 100. But I have no idea how this "disposition" will effect my story options, since the only dialogue options I've seen so far have been related to Speech.
Perhaps there are certain quests or dialogue trees that only open up with Charisma 5+?

A reminder of the pains of modern PC gaming
These crashes to desktop have happened to me constantly on both Morrowind and Oblivion on PC. So its not a surprise to hear it happening with Fallout too. The having to reboot sounds a bit weird though.
The 360 versions of Oblivion and Fallout 3 seem much more stable, and rarely crash.

Here's what it looks like on my PC. I'm too sleepy to keep playing and I hardly made any progress tonight. Still just putzing around Megaton and was just on my way to the market to look for food/medicine for the writer of the book.
Those are some of the best shots of the game I've seen. very nice.

It's not a PC gaming issue. It's a Bethesda issue. Every other game works perfectly fine, and Oblivion and Morrowind both had these same sort of bullshit problems.
Bethesda, Bethesda never changes.
What a game. Having just finished Fable 2 I was surprised I got into it so quickly. It really reminds me of a 'best of' mix of Stalker and Oblivion. The best praise I can give it is that I was completely sucked in. I started playing around 7 and next thing I knew it was 12:30. Just about to leave Megaton once I decide what to do with Moriety. I'm playing a 'good' character so I'm limited.
Playing on PC with these specs:
E6600 core 2 duo
7900GT
2 Gigs DDR2 800
Game runs smooth. It auto detected at "Medium" which was actually high textures but some other stuff turned down and an 800x600 resolution. I kicked up the resolution to 1280x1024 and have been having a great time. No issues at all.
Has anyone found any great melee weapons so far? I was going to go with a melee focus but I feel like the skill points I've put into melee weapons are wasted as the best I have is the freakin baseball bat with 8 damage when I have pistols that do more than that. I'm getting the itch to reroll and use those melee weapon skill points somewhere else.

It's true, it's true.
But I also speak of trying to tweak games on the PC to hit that sweet spot of performance and pretty. There was once a time where I was pretty heavily into it, but now it's just such a chore.
I guess it's one of those things that some will love and some with loathe.

Coming from Megaton, the compass leads you to a subway entrance, from there you should be able to figure it out. Make sure you look at your map, sometimes you need to traverse the underground tunnels to get from A to B; the map has a method of displaying that.
Justinian said:
Only good things come from tweaking.
My only problem is with getting the game to keep its woody and stay up. And another thing that tells you it's not a PC gaming issue rather than a Bethesda issue is that the PS3 version didn't exactly come away unscathed, either. I don't think Bethesda is capable of properly beta testing their games.
