End Game Slides Not Working Right in FO1

Post by Rad_Man »

Recently I reinstalled FO1, tried a big guns character and beat it. One problem, tho, the end game slides don't play write. The voiceovers don't play and then when I put the subtitles on the slides flick by faster than I can read the text. This is really friggin' annoying as I'm playing with some different characters now and I want to see some different endings. I think it may be due to the fact I'm running XP. Some help with this problem would be appreciated.

Oh yeah and taking out the brotherhood with a rocket launcher is great fun.

Yeah, I thought it might be that. Does anyway any good apps I can use to slow down my computer? Or correct compability settings that would solve the problem?

There was some people who claimed to be able to fix it by taking off sound acceleration in the directx menu. I think some more people have had there own personal fixes to the problem but none of them are consistant with other computers. Try nma

Start>Run(type in dxdiag) go to sound tab, turn sound acceleration down or off. should work then... If you're running win2k it's enough to download all the latest patches and the service pack4

Thanks, Pooperscooper and Kahgan, disabling the sound acceleration worked just fine. Beating the game is just the much more satisfying now.

Thanks.. I tried this and it worked. Strange thing is it didn't work the first time I tried it but when I reloaded the game and tried it again, it worked perfectly. Strange.
Endure. In enduring, grow strong.

Yeah! This is a great utility(Dosbox)... but then you'll have to install the dos version of fallout through Dosbox...

well, anyways it works on lots of old games! Right now I'm playing Cannon Fodder on it! Great game!

Here is the url: http://dosbox.sourceforge.net
There are no 'knowns'. There are thing we know that we know. There are known unknowns. That is to say there are things that we now know we don't know. But there are also unknown unknowns. There are things we don't know we don't know. So when we do the best we can and we pull all this information together, and we then say well that's basically what we see as the situation, that is really only the known knowns and the known unknowns. And each year, we discover a few more of those unknown unknowns.
