Fallout 1 US Retail on Win7 64bit colours etc.

[Caine]

i just got it in my mail, the first edition full uncut i guess from the states, sadly only the case with cd and artwork, the box version is too expensive if found

didnt want the cut gog.com edition!

i could run the installer the colours were strange though, when fully installed i ran the game and the videos still have a strange colour.....
any ideas how to fix?

and what else do you recommend? i think i will play the game unaltered to know how the devs wanted us to have it played?

how hard is the game if turned to hard mode?

edit:

i installed on c:\games\fallout

then ran the official 1.1 patch

then started the hi-res exe and set all, now i get this error, no worries it is a picture uploaded with light shot!

here he says you have to set in the eregui.ini in the EREG folder Run=no

any other opinions on my other points?

You could try the DirectDraw Compatibility Tool. I always use it and hi-res patch both to ensure the color won't mess up in game.

There's a mod that will fix many bugs, take a look at the NMA front page. As for difficulty settings, just try it and see for yourself. You can always lower it later on if it's too hard for you.
