Animal Friend lover level I and II are a great perk. A bunch of animals don't attack me, which makes traveling the wasteland easier (no yogi bears attack me) and some missions too where the building is filled with dogs and molerats and shit. Plus they attack non-animal friends too, the yogi bears are especially strong cause they always come in pairs.

i was sick of being attacked so much by animals i took both levels.

kind of cool because i've walked into areas and had talon mercs immediately beset by mobs

on disc

[MyNameIsMethodis]

Owned. You pretty much have a $50 coaster now.

[Brehvolution]

Have you tried starting the game with the cd out of the drive? This solved my problem with 'The Settlers'. lol
The securom or whatever protection was doing it. Also, try to find a no cd .exe.

[MyNameIsMethodis]

Try updating all your drivers?

[Akala]

try this?

:You can use Data Execution Prevention. Got to the startup and go to Control Panel. Then, Go to system Maintenance. After that, go to system. On the left, it should say Advance system settings. Click it. Where it says Performance on the Advance tab, Click settings. Then click on the tab that says, Data Execution Prevention. Then click on add, and find the exe file in the game folder. Click apply and ok. There. It should work.:

This seems to be a problem for a few people around the forums.
Good Luck.

Told you Bethesda are shit at QA.

Sadly the issue of you being stupid has very little to do with legitimate bugs

[Mupepe]

FUCK FUCK FUCK FUKCDKASJFK;DAJFK;ADJFKDJASDF

Dude, I started it.  and the opening video started and i was like "YEAH YEAH EAH YEAH JESUS LOVES ME" and then fujdkj;kf;jj FUCKING CRASHES!!!  what the fuck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Mupepe]

now i'm in the exact same position as before.  it doesn't even start the opening video anymore.

Coincidentally sadly is the fact that you can't comprehend anything i've said such far, based on the fact that game killing bugs by Bethesda are not my problem.

[MyNameIsMethodis]

now i'm in the exact same position as before.  it doesn't even start the opening video anymore.

Are you running it in administrator mode?

[Mupepe]

oh jesus, i saw the opening video again.  i'm right fucking there.  im licking the clit and getting slapped

now i'm in the exact same position as before.  it doesn't even start the opening video anymore.

Are you running it in administrator mode?

yeah

[Mupepe]

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAA


I GOT IT   I GOT IT  I GOT IT I GOT IT I GOT IT I GOT IT I GOT IT I GOT IT

THANK YOU EVERYONE OMG TIME TO GO PLAY

 

[Brehvolution]

What was it?

[MyNameIsMethodis]

It'll probably crash once you leave the Vault  

[Mupepe]

WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!!!!!!  I hit new and it started loading and it crashed

What was it?

I had to change decal shit in the .ini files.  then i saw the first blip of the video, then i switched it to run in xp compatibility mode and it let me get through the beginning and into the menu.  Hit "New" and now it crashes when loading

[Mupepe]

hahahahahaha

life is a big fucking joke.  it works, but i have to disable faces!!  i can't see anyone's face  HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

pc gaming

[Smooth Groove]

Even on Vista X64, I rarely have problems with games.  Maybe you guys just stuck at installing OSes or drivers. 

[Mupepe]

oh fuck this.

even then it crashed when my dad locked in me in a cage like an animal.  fucking hell.

[demi]

mupepe just buy the 360 version and be happy. pc gaming is nothing but hardship and troubles.

[MrAngryFace]

Bethesda has a pretty bad track record with stability, when we're talking real issues (not being too scared or being lost), its just unfortunate pirates have made it so hard to return PC games.

Still, even tho I beat the game on PC and it ran great MOST of the time, I still had my share of crashes.

[Mupepe]

mupepe just buy the 360 version and be happy. pc gaming is nothing but hardship and troubles.

yeah, i'm going to.

I can't return this so I'll keep tinkering with it and hope Bethesda puts out a patch or something.

I decided to get it on PC because I saw the pics posted by you and others and it looked too awesome.  Seems like there are tons of issues with people who can't play it.  I need to register for the Bethesda forum so I can tell those guys they can get past the new game glitch if they disable heads =\

Nothing worse than RRODs. 

[cool breeze]

Look at it this way, when it does work on PC you'll be playing it at the best it can be.

No, I believe you. I had some crashes too. I was shocked I was able to finish it on PC cause it IS Bethesda. I endured the Morrowind days. I remember.

At least there is a solution to that.

[Don Flamenco]

That sucks Rob Thomas.  For a Bethesda game, I considered it pretty stable, but it sounds like there's something about your configuration the game doesn't agree with.  Maybe it's the whole 64-bit thing?

I'm running on Vista 32 bit.  It seems to be some issue with my ATI card.  Lots of people are having issues apparently. 

Now I can't get past my dad closing that gate when i first start walking.  It crashes everytime.

[MrAngryFace]

I ran it on an ATI card :/

[Mupepe]

 

[demi]

boy this 360 version is so smooth and running without hassle. i would hate to have issues.

[MyNameIsMethodis]

That's total BS, the 360 version has it's share of odd framerate problems and graphical glitches

[demi]

did it make the game scarier?

[MyNameIsMethodis]

You're so hysterical. 

[demi]

wouldnt want you to get lost.

[Joe Molotov]

The Republic of Dave, that's nice.  Unfortunately for him, I had to go Diebold on his ass. 

[Brehvolution]

I got to rivet city last night. Ammo issues are resolved. Took out a bunch of slavers. Any advice on recovering the android mission?

If you turn him in, you get a pretty sweet Cyborg perk that improves your accuracy in VATS.

[MrAngryFace]

Rivet City Weapons guy also has a crapload of mini nukes for sale

[Don Flamenco]

I need someone with good repair skills or someone who sells repair parts. Would be nice to get my weapons to like 75%+ Between megaton, rivet city, big town, there's no one. 

Finally gonna massacre and blow up megaton today, after doing the library part of the Wasteland Survival Guide.

The best way to repair your stuff is to just do it yourself. Make sure you put a few points into repair, and then just scavenge for guns to keep yours in good shape.

what do you mean scavenge for guns...how do you repair stuff?  I've been wasting so much money on repairs

edit: nevermind, found it.  forgot I owned the $20 guide  

[MyNameIsMethodis]

If you guys want to get easy achievements, go 10 Charisma and 100 Speech (that might be backwards). You can pretty much get any quest, wait for about three days outside the town, go back, talk to them and use 100% skills to tell them you did the quests.  I did that for the Android, Survival Guide, and countless other quests netting me achievements for nothing.

No thanks, I actually enjoy playing the game I paid for.

[MyNameIsMethodis]

You are playing it, just you don't have to go through all the bullshit tunnels that even EGM said was a detraction in their review.

[demi]

the tunnels

care to share for people who don't have the guide?

[Brehvolution]

Say you pick up 3 hunting rifles. I'm using the on in the best condition. Click the hunting rifle and REPAIR should light up in the upper right hand corner. Click repair. You will be taken to another screen and choose one of the rifles in shittier condition. That rifle will disappear. It will also tell you how much you are repairing it.

[Don Flamenco]

^^what he said.  and zero's post was actually more informative than the guide.

plu yao gaui are relentless

fought my first deathclaw, they're no joke - tore my shit up and i'm at level 15

[MyNameIsMethodis]

If I just discovered the citadel, how much longer do I have to beat the game? I'm trading it for SR2 actually, and it has to ship out on Monday.

[Don Flamenco]

Finally pillaged and blew up megaton.  Awesome, I get a penthouse suite!
