Fallout 1 didn't have any of these problems. Fallout 2 has crashed on me many times. I reinstalled the game and it stopped crashing(for now). There are some framedrop issues, unfortunately. Sometimes, when I enter a new area, my framerate will drop to a slideshow. It won't recover, forcing me to restart the game. This is getting seriously annoying. This issue, apparently, is aggravated if I am visiting New Reno. I must have had frame drops some 10 times since I entered this damn city, every time I had to restart this stupid game. Oh, and the framedrops always happen when I change areas. The game runs pretty smooth, obviously, being a 20 year old game and all.
I am running the latest version downloaded from GOG.com installed by GOG galaxy, on Windows 8, no mods installed.
Fallout 1 ran like a charm - flawlessly.
Also, there is another annoying problem: I can't alt+tab the game. If I do, the moment I go back to the game from the Desktop the screen turns black. I can hear the sound but no image is displayed. Pretty stupid. This forces me to end the game by taskmgr. Anybody got a fix?
Thanks for any help.
