Megamod - Fallout 2 Black Screen after Miria

First time out of the vault
Yeah, it goes to a black screen, and doesn't leave. An old guy enters combat with a knife (I don't understand this at all), I can tell because there's the red outline, and then nothing else. I have the Killaps unofficial patch going at the latest version. Any ideas what's going on?

First, wrong forum area.

Second, this was an infamous bug in Fallout 2 - which I am pretty sure is no longer there with my patch. Though for some reason a few people report issues with sleeping with Miria/Davin, though I have NEVER been able to reproduce it after I initially fixed the problem. Care to send a save game to the address found in the readme?
 
As far as I can tell the black screen bug occurs when there are missing *.pro files in a mod. Normally caused by not having the files read only.

I'm guessing that Kilap has made the files read-only before they were stuck in a Rar archive. So I figure thats its possible that your zip utility is not extracting the files with their correct attributes.

1) Reinstall mod
2) Open the "\Fallout2\data" folder
3) Right click on the "proto" folder and then tick the read only box and hit okay

It should pop up and ask if you want to set this for all the contents of the folder and you should click yes

4) Try the mod again
 
Tried that, it didn't work.
Edit: Okay, so I tried it again, and I figured out what's going on. Miria is initiating combat with me during the black screen, thus interrupting the fade-in. I kept pressing space, and eventually my character died. Any ideas?
 
I'm having the very same problem. After "getting it on" with Miria, the screen goes black and never recovers. I'm using Megamod and I did install it to the letter. Any ideas?

Call me old fashioned, but keeping it in your pants might help.
 
This is a really old thread but the bug still exists for some reason. I just encountered it playing with the Restoration project mod. I'd sleep with Miria then it'd go black, and then nothing - couldn't exit the game, couldn't access menus, couldn't do anything at all other than see a black screen, hear ambient noises and a fireplace on the left side of the screen.

What seems to cause it is your companions being in the way of the door so Grisham can't get in or something. I told my companions to wait in the hallway whilst I got down to business, as it were, and that fixed things up. So hopefully anyone in the future having this problem Googles it and finds this post. Or maybe Killap can fix it somehow?
