    Bought PST today and installed widescreen/high res mods.

    framerate seems off to me even for such an old game. Anyone else experience this?

    Tried the Fallout 1 one last night. It was a slide show in 1600 x 1200 and slow in 1024 x 768. Hmm.... Might try setting the CPU affinity to 1 CPU.

    What? I got it (Fallout 1) to run in full speed on a 4 year old laptop at 1280X800.

    Yeah something must be up because my desktop can run Stalker on pretty much full settings.

    Try running it in DirectX9, use the latest version of Sfall and then read through the ini to find the directx9 option.

    Sorted it out, the ddraw.dll file needed to be deleted. Had some other trouble with the screen not scrolling all the way in anything that wasn't 1600 x 1200 (this resolution was just too much) but editing the ini file fixed it.

    I've never even played the 1st one, just fallout 2.

    Is it any good?

    First game is good but the second game is way better.

    Icewind Dale Complete which is Icewind Dale and the two expansions is up on GoG now for a tenner. They really are relaunching with some stupidly good games. Just annoyed I missed the Arcanum for 2.99 sale.

    Well honestly, I'm only going to buy it tonight! I kind of don't have time for it and want to start Fallout 1 first anyway. WRPGs you really need to sit down to them and play them for hours at a timeand at the moment I've only 1 or 2 hours free at night.

    Icewind Dale! My favourite of the lot of them. Think it was the first game I played on my £1000 Pentium 3 450mhz beast of a machine.

    I've got IWD and IWD2 on hold. Going travelling soon and I intend to keep these as netbook fodder.

    You've never played Jagged Alliance? Think you may have to step down as Games mod!!!!

    Try JA2, it's the better one. Sadly it doesn't have some of the characters from the previous game, such as 'Unusually Ruthless' Ruben. He's called Ruthless because he killed his family with a rechargable hedge trimmer. He's unusually ruthless because he stopped to recharge halfway through.

    It takes me back to the days when games designers had a sense of humour.
