skully2097 Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 I've gotten almost all of the fallout franchise off of steam this past weekend, but now that I've downloaded the games, I think that my PC Rig is too powerful to play it. Whenever I start up Fallout or Fallout 2, the screen remains black, even thought I can hear the OP sound effects.Whenever I start up Fallout: Tatics, the screen resolution changes, a warning message shows up, mentioning something called "phoenix", and the whole PC Freezes.Whenever I start up Fallout 3, I get a message box saying the game might not run properly. It starts up, but I would prefer to not run into any problems while playing. I'm a fan of the Fallout Franchise, so any help figuring out how to play these games would definitely help. Thanks.

Oblivionaddicted Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Do you use a mutli-core optimizer? Did you activate the compatibility with older OS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pksky Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 Are you using dosbox to play them? I know that for one of my old dosbox games, I had a similar issue where I could hear the game sounds but the screen was blank. The solution was to go into one of the config files for the game and change a graphic setting from "overlay" (or whatever) mode to "openGL."

HadToRegister Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 Definitely wait until they go on sale again (GOG just had a Bethesda sale) at GOG, they do a really good job of setting up the old games to work properly on modern computers.Steam doesn't really try that hard to get old games to work on modern computers. Actually, GOG has a Bethesda Sale going on right now, Fallout 1 and Fallout 2 for $2.49 each.Along with Fallout 3 GOTY, and FONV GOTY, Oblivion GOTY, etc. $9.99 each.
