Frequently can't save game + big black map once I leave the current map

Question

Closed this issue 3 years ago · 3 comments

I'm nearing the end of the game and so far I've had at least ~15-20 crashes
Every crash starts with not being able to save even though I can save in that area, sometimes with a general "You can't save" message, sometimes with an actual error dialog in which the name of the save/map name is listed
Once I can't save and leave the current map via an exit grid I'm in a big map of nothing but black
If I then alt-tab to Windows I get a memory allocation error or something like that, which I don't get when everything functions normally and alt-tabbing just ends Fallout with the process still being active

What logs do you need?

I did find #108, but I'm unsure if that's only in cases of black maps after being in Umbra Tribe maps, or generally applicable for my issue.

Try disabling FadeBackgroundMusic in ddraw.ini, or update sfall (ddraw.dll) to 4.3.3.

Not enough info.
Likely fixed upstream.
