Sounds like the "language bug". Make sure you game is set to English, then go to your Fallout game folder, then into the Video folder. Make sure the following files do NOT look anything but this: Intro.bk2 Endgame_FEMALE_A.bk2 Endgame_FEMALE_B.bk2 Endgame_MALE_A.bk2 Endgame_MALE_B.bk2 Etc... Look for anything before/after the names that don't fit (make backup of any file before changing the name). Example, if "Intro.bk2" has any thing added to it, English version will not play and "hangs" in perma-loading when the actual intro should play. I am having this problem, for some reason there is an intro_ru in my Video file. I deleted it, but it doesn't help. What can I do to solve it? Sorry for reviving dead thread. My new game used to work, don't know why it isn't now.
