I now have a problem with Fallout 1 after installing the High Resolution Patch. Some colors are really off both in videos and during gameplay and menus.

My computer is running Windows 7 and I have the 1.3 unofficial patch installed. I tried playing with compatibility and the ddraw.ini, but nothing seems to work.

Thanks in advance.

Can you upload a screen shot or give a more detailed discription please?

Did you install the patches in this post?

If so, edit your ddraw.ini to:

[Graphics]
Mode=0

and f1_res.ini to

[MAIN]
COLOUR_BITS = 16

Try switching to 16-bit color... I think that has helped people with similar color problems in Fallout.

Check this thread for how to do it:

Reinstalled the High resolution patch, but now it crashes when I try to change resolution. I'm now stuck with 800x600 (I wanted to go back to 640x480).

Hmm... maybe try reinstalling the game? After backing up any saves, of course.

I've only just installed the patch myself, had som similar crashing issues. I found that changing the colours back to 8 bit helped.
From what I could tell from the patch readme you should be able to improve it by changing the safer display list value from a 0 to a 1 in the config file. I couldn't get it to accept the changes, though.

I had a similar issue which was solved here.

Maybe it will work for you as well.

This link should help with with any display problems you're having with either Fallouts 1 or 2. There are many different methods in the link that work as well.

Hi All,

I would like to play again fallout 1 with high resolution patch but I'm facing a problem. When I installed the "fallout 1 high resolution patch 4.1.8" after that running f1_res_config.exe and set everything, enable and done. Launch the game and I realize that the "option" button is missing in the main screen. I just see the following.
- Into
- new game
- load game
- Credits
- Exit

I have attached a picture about the problem.

Can anybody help me?

Thanks

Can't say why. But you should be able to control game options from inside the game as well (escape menu).

At firstly, thanks your answer:)
Yes, I have set screen resolution in f1_res_config.exe but after when I start the game I can't find the screen resolution. I think this is the problem that screen resolution menu is missing from the game in my situation. I attached a capture screen about it in my previously post.

But the resolution is set, is it not? I don't see the problem.
