So yeah, I'm playing Fallout 2 and loving it. I've never played the old Fallout games before, so I though I'd give it a shot, and so far it's pretty awesome.
However, I've run into a spot of trouble, and I figure that someone on Giant Bomb has to know the answer. And if not, hey, at least Fallout 2 gets on the front page for a few minutes.
I just had sex with Angela in New Reno, and now I can't find my party. I was rollin' with two dudes, and now I have no idea where they went while I was gettin' funky. I've looked all around, and I can't find them.
I'm really hoping this isn't just a shitty bug, as I've had to deal with enough B.S. getting it to run on Windows 7, and I've had to learn to save often because every now and then it just crashes for no reason. But yeah, does anyone know how I get my party back? I had Vic and that bartender from outside Vault City, I forgot what his name was.

Fallout 2 is the sequel to the critically acclaimed post-apocalyptic RPG.
How do I get my party back?
It means you *might* be able to patch it. If you want to try, make sure to tell Steam not to automatically keep the game up to date. I just have no idea if it would actually work, as I've never had to try it myself.
Well I tried patching it, and it seems to have worked fine... except one more question before I start playing (99% sure I'm just going to start over anyways): are you supposed to install the official patch before installing the unofficial patch? I looked through the readmes and such and couldn't find any mention of it.
" @takua108: I don't know if anyone's done it successfully, to be quite honest. It's just an .exe you run, but the issue is with a Steam game, there is no Fallout 2 directory, just the Steam .cfg. "Are you sure? There should be some kind of Fallout 2 dir in the Steam folder. The problem is if said mod alters the .exe because all Steam .exe's are encrypted.
I really feel like playing Fallout/Fallout 2 now.
Also if you go nuts and don't mind spending six bucks the gog version is unencrypted as far as I know.
I prefer GOG for older titles, and Steam for newer ones. GOG actually goes about making these older games run on newer hardware, while Steam leaves that entirely up to the developers (Or whoever owns the rights, at that point). This ends up with examples like Commandos 2, where the game just simply didn't run.
