Anyone else have this problem? I'm a ghost.

Discuss the game that started it all, and its sequel. Technical questions and issues go into the Fallout Technical Support forum, not here.

Anyone else have this problem? I'm a ghost.

Post by Radoteur »

I go through things. I can walk right through most objects and people.
It's freaky. I think it started after I went to kill Tyler's gang with Lara's gang.
It's actually pretty nice, since the kids won't steal from me anymore, but it's kinda bad when I cant find myself, since I'm under the wall or behind the mailbox. (Sometimes it's pretty funny. I got the mailbox to have legs coming out of it. MailBox Man!)
I reloaded a few times, I'm thinking about reinstalling, maybe that will work.
Oh yea, I've got the patch, too.

I forget how to take a screenshot. I'm going to stick mailbox man in as my avatar.

Thanks.
I figured that out from the manual.

I also seem to be on permanent sneak without a chance of getting caught. Period. I can even steal and get caught without them attacking. Although they do get pissed and refuse to speak with me.
Apparenlty, the enemy doesn't have a hard time shooting me.

Here's some preliminary pictures.
I think I'll raise the brightness, so you can see them better. Maybe I can change into a blue suit. That might work better than tan on tan.

Mailbox man looked like a black blob. Really hard to see the legs. Maybe if I can find some light armor to contrast the black asphalt.

The novelty's worn off. I'm practically cheating, involunarily.

For some reason the pictures dont seem to be working. Oh well.
Maybe you can try this link. http://members12.clubphoto.com/chris592 ... 50b8.phtml

Yar.
Brillant man.

(Anyways, I reinstalled the game, and they are still screwed up. Probably something wrong with the save game, since when I start a new game it works fine.)

I've got mailbox man as my avatar. Hope it works.

Actually, that's why I posted it here, first.
I guess I'll try Interplay tomorrow. I've got to write a stupid essay for English now.

It isn't fun anymore. I mean, I can go south, far south, and encounter an Enclave patrol, and these super buff guys all nicely lined up can't really see me. I steal from them, I run around them, they don't seem to care.
In fact, nobody can see me outside of combat mode. It almost makes the game too easy. I can still talk to people, but it acts as if I have a impenetrable sneak which is on even when I am literally standing in someone else.
The only way to get their attention is to shoot them, which would result in my immediate death.

I'm going to make more cool pictures.
Maybe you guys can give some ideas.
I can only get covered by things behind me. Things I can stand on, I still cover as normal.

How about a bed? From a certain angle it would look like you were under it! :D

... or maybe your character was so drunk, that he got *under the table*?

I suggest you don't get rid of that save game, it's very seldom you get bugs like that.Image

Yes, more pics!

Heh, that saved game.
How about those saved games. All ten of 'em. I didn't even really realize it until I filled 'em up. I know something like that's hard to miss, but it was night, and I was wearing tanish armor.

Red has no cure. Red am clueless. It's a bug and if you don't have any more savegames you're doom.

Try interplay, but they won't be able to help you either :P Make sure to post anything they reply here :D

They're not unreachable, you can get to them by hugging close to the edge and avoiding the exit grid.
