First time out of the vault
Hello
I installed fallout 1 today to play again. I got windows 7 but it installed and started properly. The problem is the low resolution. I've read about the high resolution patch and i installed it but i had problems which were fixed thanks to unoficcial patch by TeamX. But now i encounter another problem.
What i did finally:
1.Installed fallout 1 1.2 PL
2.Installed patch 1.3.4 PL (i know there is 1.3.5. but i couldn't find the polish one)
3.Installed the High Resolution Patch 2.2b and modified both drdraw.ini and f1res.ini to 1280x1024 resolutions. I also checked that dx9 fullscreen plays well,dx9 window doesnt help with my problem but works,and the normal 8bit doesn't start the game at all.
I have tried the 8bit and 16bit options.
But when i start i see the background and buttons stretched out of my screen,which is locked at 640x480. So i got high resolution but i can see only 640x480 part of it. Everything else works. I tried disabling and reenabling every thing in both drdraw.ini and f1res.ini,or only in one. I even tried Sfall, same problem.
What do i have to do? Im sending you the ini files of mine.
drdraw.ini
f1res.ini
The [[[[Tried That]]]] means i tested with the option.
As a Windows 7 user i checked win95,win 98,windows xp SP3 and SP2,which haven't helped me.
PS.It is also worth noting,that for Fallout 2 it worked fine. I mean about the High Resolution. Is there maybe a way to convert the Fallout 1 to Fallout 2 engine,like in Baldurs Gate Trilogy(other game,sorry;p) to play the story of 1 in modern 2.
