Hey, First off, I would just like to ask everyone who has gotten this far to read the whole way through, this is not the same XP problem that was brought up before. I just bought a new P4 3.2 ghz comp w/ 1 gb of ram an Ati radeon x300 128mb card..... I want to play Fallout 2. However, whenever
I play aqnd i am on the world map, my character moves at insane speed and days pass in abouot 2 seconds... this totally kills my chances for random and special encounters, which are an integral part of the fun of Fallout. Thoughts??? Aid??? Sympathy??? Ill take any of these but prefer the first 2..

Dankeschoen.

Hi, and welcome to the forum.

There are programs which can turn down your processor speed, f.e. if you want to play DOS games. I can't name one, though.

You don't get any random encounters??

It happens to me sometimes, i move so fast around the world map i don't have chance to encounter anything....i think it was a perk i got. Or some car upgrade....definetely something in-game!!!

if it annoys you, try a program to slow down the processor. technically, if the days are going past so quickly - and they only do while you're moving - then there shouldn't be any less encounters, just less of a gap between them in real time. it may make things confusing, especiallly if you want to change destinations during the journey, but it shouldn't reduce your encounters. the game is running fast, it's not some sort of bug, by the sound of it.

I've used this one to play some old ultimas and such... you can give it a try: http://www.hpaa.com/moslo/

Robnark is correct - random encounters should have the same probability. Everything just happens faster, not less often.

Yeah I have the same thing it doesn't make a difference.

The games just running faster, that's not going to effect the actual game, if you get an encounter you'll get get one.

I'n all honesty theres not that many that happen in FO2 anyways, I can go half the game before getting my first encounter.
