Comment Re:Have the bugs been fixed on the old one yet? (Score 1) 254

I'm intrigued by the premise of Fallout but I've heard bad things about broken elements in the game... Any patches for this stuff yet?

jollyreaper, hi,

By 'the old one', I'm assuming you mean the original one produced in 1997? If so, yes there was a version 1.1 patch brought out very early on which fixed most of the serious bugs, and also removed a 500 day time limit for finishing the game. You can find it in quite a few places on the web (just google for 'fallout 1.1 patch').)

On my latest gaming rig, I couldn't get the Windows version of Fallout to work correctly, but the DOS version ran fine using DOSBox.

Admittedly, if a game will run in both ScummVM and DOSBox, the sound is usually a lot better in ScummVM.

But since 0.70, DOSBox automatically figures out the optimal cycles= setting to run a particular game at, so no need to fiddle with this parameter manually like you used to.
