Thanks, Mash. Works great now. I needed to run the game in Win98 compatibility mode. Everything is detailed, sharp, and the view is amazing. But is it just me or does my char look a bit smaller than say, what I'm used to seeing on a 14-inch CRT (what I played Fallout on originally back in...

I'm also having issues with the hi-res patch for Fallout 1 (US ver. 1.1) I install the patch, it patches the falloutw exe. I then tweak the exe file to use my display's resolution (1920x1200.) I play with the .ini settings and still nothing. Fallout remains at the default low res, as if...

In hopes of not having to use a little CRT to make Fallout look as good as possible, I installed the hi-res patches, for FO1 and FO2. It didn't work with FO1 (US ver. 1.1) for some reason, although I tweaked the .ini file correctly. It worked great with FO2, though. Details are sharp...

Every once in a while I dust off my Fallout 1 and 2 CDs and play through. I've noticed that the two games only really look good on a 14-inch CRT. Even on my 15-inch Macbook Pro's display, the textures look a bit rough. They look horrible on a modern 20+ inch LCD, for example. But pull out...

Hi everyone: I've got the OS X version of Fallout (not Fallout 2.) I'm searching for the latest OFFICIAL PATCH (1.2, think.) Doesn't seem to be on NMA, and can't seem to find it through a Google search, either. I'd appreciate a link to it maybe, or some idea as to where I can...

RP 1.2? What does RP stand for? So it includes things that were planned for the game originally but were then pulled out?

Fallout 1 & 2: Patch confusion I'm completing my Fallout 1 & 2 collection (for both OS X and Windows), and I'm a bit confused as to what patches I really need. There are the official patches (not sure which is the most recent one), then there are unofficial patches, etc. It's a bit...

No option to kill children in this game and experience all the notoriety/consequences that follow? Lame. Sex, drugs, child-killing, etc. were all fleshed out beautifully in FO1 and FO2. If FO3 is going to be a step backward in these key areas, then all we really have is a Post-Apocalyptic...

Remove any and all references to the previous Fallout games. Remove the Fallout name entirely from the title - call it "Wastelands" or something (yes I do remember the classic RPG "Wasteland.") What you're left with is a Post-Apocalyptic advanced FPS that lacks polish, uses a rather dated...

All the more reason to save my money and not even bother to try this game. My worst fears are all being confirmed. Poor, poor Van Buren.

Hi all. Long story short, I've been a longtime Fallout fan. Pretty picky when it comes to Fallout canon. I was planning to get Fallout 3, despite some nagging suspicions. But after reading through the various reviews on these boards, I'm frightened of the thing. Been there done the...
