| I just recieved a copy of Fallout 2 I purchased off Ebay. (I have played this before, but I think I lent FO2 to my brother cause I couldn't find it.) It came in a generic jewel case, but the CD looks legit.
This is the first time I have tried installing in on WinXP. During installation (Huge Installation) about 2/3s the way through the progress bar stops, and my CDROM slows down. After waiting 5 mins, with nothing happening, I get the message that the BG2 movie is going to start. I wait through the movie, and try lauching the game from my Start Menu. I get the "Couldn't find/load text fonts." error. I checked my fallout2.cfg file for the paths, as stated above, and they are correct. When the Autorun starts, the 'Play' button isn't activated, still the 'Install' button is. I have uninstalled/reinstalled, patched, and rebooted my machine, nothing works.
BTW...Anyone ever notice the wierd guy's head for fallout2.exe icon. (Chubby bearded guy with glasses) In your directory that is, not the shortcut. What is up with that?
Anyone have a hint that might help me?  |
