The way you describe it it should work, but you can try this client:
http://fodev.net/forum/index.php/topic,22146.0.html

(I tried the client but I could not get it working.
I really want to play this but I cant get it working.
I think that I might be not be connected to the right server because I cant update or log in the server it says I am connected to is
(94.23.237.127) Is this right?
If I can get this working then I will Donate or something because I really want to play more fallout and if I can get this working I would pay for it in donations.)

never mind I found out the right server code and updated but now it says datafiles2238.cfg not found run updater exe.
but when I update it says no update required before it said could not save data then it said that it was done updating the config or something now it says no update so I just dont know .(you can read up above to know what I did before)
I dont have the file It says I have missing but when I run the normal updater it says no updates but theare is nothing called updater.exe so I dont know.
so I have no idea what to do or how to get the missing file back.
thanks!

Did you unpack it in empty folder and copied Fallout 2 Master.dat/Critter.dat files to data folder?
It should work out of the box then (after you make a character).

This message is misleading, you should run FOConfig and FO2238Config (and set up paths to F2 dats)
and click save to create config files. It's already done in client I linked to and everything else is set up
correctly there (you just need to copy Master.dat/Critter.dat files to data folder).

One more possibility is that the path to game has some non-standard characters (Polish etc).
Use only plain keyboard characters.

Thanks, FYI to anyone else with this problem - the GM is not able to help. I was advised to go to Trac (bug tracker system) and find the existing ticket for this issue and leave a comment with the character name and the last login date. I was told that if there is a backup of the character, it may be restored during the next restart.

I got this error on one of my characters now. Left a comment on the bugtracker. Is there nothing else I can do?

This client don't support cyrillic text in path for *.dat files!!!

The launcher is giving me errors.

(plus, when I try the updater, it says, "Cannot find FOnline configuration file in current directory:..../desktop/FOnline)

Help!!! I've spent hour trying to make fonline work and only thing I haven't tried is the updater which says initializing but seems frozen it doesn't seem to do anything I even tried leaving it for 1/2 an hour. (reason for this is error on every option when I start up black background)

The black background is probably because you did not set paths to MASTER.DAT and CRITTER.DAT from Fallout2 CD. You can do so by running FOConfig.exe or FO2238Config.exe dont know which one right now.

Once you're logged in, remember that if you have burning models you have to restart the game.

Well hear's the deal, I'm using Jove's preconfigured client and now I actually have textures to the map EXCEPT I am still burnign man and there are no item textures either in the world and in my inventory or just in my inventory, not sure, as I haven't left the spawning safety cave.
