Duck and Cover

I started a new game and my main dude is going as fast as the car is and hes not in it this is very frustrating because i cant hardly get any encounters and i can clear the whole world map in like 1 min does anyone know what i should do?

You have a fast processor, do you not? If so, I don't think there's a way to get around it.

yes i do but its still annoying when u go over half the map and all i encounter is 2 encounters with robbers and mantis

so theres no way to fix it that sucks really bad

get a crappy computer

btw, how fast is yours? mghz wise

This subject seems to have been covered before but don't see any solution. Is your game in any way hacked?

Or, you could underclock it w/ jumpers/BIOS settings. I remember seeing a program for this in the forums....
EDIT: yep, thats the one!
EDIT: NM its not there...

can you give me a link to the page

so anyone at all for people who have problems understanding technological language what can i do to fix this?

i know the answer:
"deal with it"

unless you want to pull that old hunk-o-junk computer out of your basement, just live with it.
does the clock on the upper-right-hand-corner still move as fast as you do? if it does, that really sucks.

(jeez, go crazy with hyphins in this post)

lol you cant even tell the sun and the moon clock on the top right of the screen its like intertwined becuase its moving to fast

hahah, funny.

you should try asking I-play tech (if they still help people) they might have a slight answer.

Have you tried CPU Killer and the like? I've tried to use MoSlo and the built in dos-box whatchit and I've had some success.

my computers 2.59 ghz but i duno how to solve this i sent a email to interplay i guess ill wait for there reply thanks for the help if anyone else has any ideas feel free to let me know.

I know load a game anygame then load and play fallout 2 that should slow it right down, thats if your running a heavy game in the background.

Dots 'n capitals. YARRR.

EDIT: ya i had the problem too but i never solved it so i cant help you either oh well i guess you just need to deal with it or something i really dont know ..ja sillee

In my opinion processor's number chewing capability should have NOTHING to do with the amount of encounters. There's something else wrong with your game, but fast processor is just that - a fast processor. It means it would calculate the chance of getting a random encounter faster, it shouldn't have ANYTHING to do with the amount of the encounters themselves.

Even so it doesint explain why i can go from top to bottem in 5 seconds and antoher fact when i installed fallout 1 it went the noraml speed and was fine. which leads me to belive something is wrong with fallout 2

when did you buy FO2? if your within the 90 day limit you can get a new cd for free.
or else you need to pay $5 and i bet you can get it cheaper elsewhere.

i replaced mine, it fixed a lot of bugs... (guessiing that this is a bug)

i bout it when it first came out still have the box and manual ill jsut buy the 10 dollar one.
