I really don't like a way your character is moving from one place to another in Fallout 2. It's just too quick - and I know it was muuuch slower on my old computer. That also meant more random encounters along the way - and I'm guessing everyone's game looks like that, since it's supposed to be a problem with fast computer... Soo, any solution to that?

Patch works! Thank you for help.

By the way, Fenixp, nice avatar! ;)

Thanks pkt-zer0.
And I agree with Xax, Good choice on avatar Fenixp

I was having similar problems with F2 on my laptopp, thx for the solution :)

Did it actually fix the problem, or just increase the encounter rate so that you get into fights while still traveling at light speed?
This was enough of a problem that I couldn't bear to play the game on a 1 GHz Athlon machine. I imagine it would be so much worse on a modern processor.

Problem is fixed :-) Map movement is slowed down.

I installed the patch and now my game won't run. When I try running the game I get a dialog box that says "Fallout appears to be running in compatibility mode" and when I hit OK (actually I hit enter... my cursor disappears when I mouse over the dialog) that's it... no game. Anybody have this problem?
EDIT: Resolved by searching on nma-fallout forums (duh!) For others: right-click your fallout2.exe file, enter Properties, go to the Compatibility tab. Uncheck "Compatibility Mode" and apply. If already unchecked, check it, close the dialog, open it up and uncheck it again. The nma forums suggest a restart may be required, I didn't need one.
