I'm having huge problems with some dialogue in-game. Some of the characters (NPCs) speak at a very speeded up rate - a bit like a recording being played at a much faster speed, rapid and high-pitched. This mainly applies to comments from guards (but not all). Similarly, at the beginning of "With Friends Like These" (Dark Brotherhood quest) Astrid speaks normally, but the three victims suffer from the speeded up voice problem. I've searched the web in vain for a solution, but no-one ever seems to have mentioned this. I use an SB Audigy sound set-up, with speakers set to "Stereo." but I don't think the problem lies there as much of the dialogue plays OK.. Any suggestions / solutions gatefully received.

Hi, I'm a retired British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) Radio & TV Producer / Presenter, initially trained and with a background in Drama & Theatre Arts. I can handle most British and Irish accents, plus a number of U.S accents and accented English ( e.g. French, Spanish, Italian, Russian.) I have some free time on my hands, so if I can help anyone working on a serious mod with voice-work, please feel free to get in touch. Naturally my services would come free of charge.

Thanks, Oubliette. All sorted. Best wishes

OK, So I'm going to come across as a total newbie....... I've just bought New Vegas which has to install under STEAM. It did, but where, please, do I find the files which allow me to Mod the game on my system?

For anyone who's interested, I followed the excellent advice I received from Mechine and disabled all my installed mods. Lo and behold! the "freezing" problem disappeared. All I have to do now is to work out which mods I can install and in what order without it coming back.

Mechine, Thank you so much for such a comprehensive answer. I really appreciate it and the time you obviously spent on it. I'll be following a great deal of your excellent advice. Best wishes, Ddudley

Hi, This is my first posting, so if this has been discussed (and hopefully sorted out ) elsewhere in the forum, please forgive me. I've only just bought and installed Fallout 3. To my shame, I'd never even heard of it, but now I've discovered it - Oh, boy! I'm running Fallout 3 on a Dell XPS Inspiron M1710 - Intel Core 2 T7600 @2.33 GHz, 4 GB of RAM, Vista Home Premium and using an NVIDIA GeForce Go 7950 GTX video card. I've downloaded and installed The Fallout Mod Manager and a number of mods. The problem is that, sometimes, always in combat, my screen freezes. The game is still running and about every 2, or 3 minutes, progresses by a few frames. So it's not a total crash, more an extreme aslowing down. The problem seems to be associated with "enemies" - e.g. In Chevy Chase, when Lyons and her troops arefighting the super-mutants, the "freezing" occurs. When all the super-mutants have been destroyed, the game runs fine and I can move, talk fire etc. It freezes again when the mutany charges the group and unfreezes when its dead. Then freezes again when we all advance and meet 2 more enemies. This first happened when I went to the Queen Ant lair in "Those." Help. please. Thanks, Ddudley
