I know fallout 1 is old and probably not played as much (or probably at all anymore) but if anyone else is playing it atm, i'm having a recurrent issue with it skipping my turn to hit. I'm currently in the middle of a battle and it just skipped 12 of my turns in a row forcing me to close it and restart a previous save and it just happens again against a different mob. Does anyone know how to fix this? (no mods, just base game.)

maybe your space bar is wacky or something?
other than that, the only way to lose a turn is a critical failure, I think.

Don't use pirate version of the game. Buy it here, on GOG.com and most of your problems will gone...
