Is it impossible to play Fallout 2 full screen?

First time out of the vault
I have the gog version of Fallout 2 and just got around to playing it. However I had colour glitches, I think something to do with the game running in 8 bit. So I installed Killaps 1.02 patch and it is now all good in 32bit.

My version on the main menu is..

1.02.31
sfall 3.3

Windows 7.

But the only thing is it won't play full screen? I set the resolution to my laptop resolution (1366 x 768) and while the intro movies play full screen, the main menu and ingame is smaller and has huge black borders either side. Why? Is there a way around this?

thanks for any help.

Do you have the Hi-Res patch?

No I don't think so...I just have Killaps unofficial Fallout 2 patch and when I select the resolution in the 'screen settings' menu on the main screen and change the resolution it doesn't seem to make a difference..

Someone on youtube said to install in this order..

Killaps 1.02 patch
high res patch
sfall
restoration project

I only installed killaps patch although on the menu it says I have sfall installed..

Both killap's unofficial patch and restoration project have sfall bundled, since it's important for various engine fixes. They also have hi-res pach included (it's optional for unofficial patch).
If there are f2_res.ini and f2_res_README.rtf in your Fallout2 directory, you might want to check them for how to adjust display options.

I uninstalled and just installed the latest restoration project and it now is perfect. thanks for your help. I have not played the game since its original release so looking forward to the new stuff (and the old, I don't remember a lot of it).
