Fallout 2 - Problem with weird colors (Windows 7)

[MarshDanni]

Ok so I got Fallout 2 a couple days ago and I got version 1.00 and also I have those weird colors that keep appearing and I can't stand them anymore I ruins the game for me also I have Restoration Project but I don't know can RP fix the colors if not could someone please tell me how to get rid of those colors

 

[Per]

Did you start by reading the 200 other threads on the same subject?

 

[MarshDanni]

I only found one and my biggest problem is I can't get the patch 1.02d because I have windows 7 64-bits which means I can't get the High Resolution pack so I am looking for an answer

 

[MarshDanni]

so if I have RP 2.1.2b I can still patch it on 1.00 version and then there won't be any weird colors right?

I'm pretty sure this can be fixed through the in-game menu.

 

[valcik]

Yes, instal the Fo2 v1.0 + RP 2.1.2b and you will be fine, even on Win7 64-bit.

 

[MarshDanni]

awesome thank you very much I'il try that now

I have those weird colors sometimes too, usually restarting the game helps.

 

[MarshDanni]

Great I have a new problem I just installed the RP patch and now when I start fallout it says:

This program requires Windows 95 with DirectX 3.0a or later

so I put the Fallout 2.exe compatible with Windows 95 and the error is still there what should I do to fix this

 

[valcik]

First, read the sfall's readme file.
Then update your DirectX 9.0c and put that W95 compatibility mode away, otherwise sfall will not be working.

 

[MarshDanni]

What sfall's readme file?? What is that?

 

[MarshDanni]

oh that just found it

 

[MarshDanni]

ok I've read it and still I don't know what to do It says something about ddraw.dll to extract to Fallout 2 file but where to found the ddraw.dll

 

[valcik]

Don't worry, all the necessary files are included in RP. Do not install anything else, just update your DX9.
Have you read the RP wiki before? Take your time and look at it:

[MarshDanni]

ok Thank you very much for helping me your awesome

 

[MarshDanni]

oh and one more thing please could you give me a link to the Direct X 9.0 update please I am afraid I mess up something

Thanks in advance

 

[valcik]

I'm using this one without any problem:

Don't forget to set Mode=4 in the [Graphics] section of ddraw.ini file afterward.

 

[MarshDanni]

where is ddraw.ini file I can't find it anywhere

 

[valcik]

That's a sfall's configuration file, it should be placed in your Fallout2 installation folder. (use the search function eventually)

Also don't double or triple post.
