[SUGGESTION] Fallout: increase memsize to 32 Thread - Desura

I personally had a rocky experience with the dosbox'ed version of Falloutr offered through Desura. BGM and talking heads VOs would cut off frequently, save and load buttons and the ESC menu in game would stop responding plus sometimes - especially when entering a maps red world map transition area - the rendering would go fubar making the game unplayable and any saves made during that would be corrupted.

I seem to have fixed all of that by setting mesize to 32 in the dosbox.cfg which is the required RAM size for the DOS version of Fallout according to the readme.txt included with the game.

So I would strongly recommend pushing an update that has 32 megs of ram set in Dosbox by default. As you probably have noticed, a lot of people seem to have issues with the game atm.

I have uploaded an update the Linux DOSBox version that includes this correction and a few other options that should help most users. If you have any problems let me know.

I've just tested this, and it INDEED solves a problem i was experiencing (namely "sometimes - especially when entering a maps red world map transition area - the rendering would go fubar making the game unplayable and any saves made during that would be corrupted.") is now indeed fixed. I can finally leave Shady Sands and see the rest of the game!

...as exist among the idioms of infobots and rbots with the karma plugin, may I just say
