Install Fallout 2 Restoration Project

The purpose of this project is to add back into Fallout 2 all the missing content locations, NPCs, quests, items, etc that were pulled or left unfinished in the original game. This expansion attempts to stay true to what made Fallout great and thus the new content you find is not something I felt that would be cool to see, but rather a reality of what the original devs wanted.

In addition to or instead the unofficial patch, you can install the F2 Restoration Project. Download and easily install the expansion here: Fallout 2 Restoration Project v2.3.3 www.killap.net.

Dieses SCHEIß Spiel funktioniert nicht auf 2 PCs. Immer wieder stürzt es mitten im Spiel ab. Ich wüßte gerne mal ob diese Kacke überhaupt von Anfang an auf irgendeinem PC funktioniert hat. Selbst mit dem Resolution Patch kann man nicht alle Orte besuchen Error und Absturz. Ich ärgere mich über die ganze Zeit die ich mittlerweile in das Spiel gesteckt habe. Würde bestimmt spaß machen wenn man nicht nur die Hälfte der Missionen erledigen kann. Absolut schlechte Leistung von Steam und den Entwicklern.

There s an issue with unofficial patch. Master.dat is 1 Ko instead 350 Mo. So when you install the patch it delete half of games data. You have to delete locate files and install again the game. Then follow this path to install the patch.

To avoid couldn t find/load tex, use this path :

Locate you Fallout folder.

Dowload this patch. Lanch autoinstall but choose another path. It unzips all file in a Fallout 2 folder.

Go in this folder, copy all files and repertories but master.dat a 1 Ko files ctrl a, then over mouse master.dat, hold ctrl, click, crtl c. Paste that in your game folder.

The Fallout2 High Resolution Patch by Mash is a major leap from the now defunct and very buggy high resolution patch of old who was that by. links appreciated. It allows you to play F2 in higher resolutions, now with Sfall compatibility. Unfortunately you cannot use Sfall software scalers with it, but you can use hardware shaders.

This patch supports several versions of the fallout2.exe they include:

US 1.02d

UK 1.02e

French 1.02d

German 1.02d

Chinese 1.02.

Russian 1.02 Lev Corp
