Rostek: Just please repost the links at Fallout 2 mods thread and we'll delete the post here. =)

They were already posted there :)
I haven't played the games I bought last night yet, but as I recall from prior experience with Fallout2 there were a ton of bugs that got patched by those "unofficial" patches. While I understand that you only apply the official ones to the games before you put them up here, do you have any plans to host the unofficial patches for those that bought the games? Or maybe look into what they fix and try to fix them yourselves (and thus avoid any unwanted effects like with the Oblivion mod community)?

Hey, Brother None of No Mutants Allowed here.
If I could make a suggestion: NMA has stickied all the "recommended" patches and mods. These are generally good recommendations. You've included a few of them, but here's the full list (excluding children patch which isn't necessary):
Fallout Patch 1.3.4 ENG TeamX
Fallout1 High Resolution Patch v1.1
Fallout NPC Mod v3.4 English version
Fallout Update Mod v1.2.5 english version
Timeslip Fallout engine tweaks for Windows 2000/XP/Vista

I just applied the resolution mod to my game, but even at 800x600 resolution, I'm getting lag. I wondered if anyone could suggest anything. I'm running an old frankenstien rig that has a Radeon 9800 Pro w/256 meg on board. Wondering what I might could do.
Has anyone gotten the Timeslip mod to work? I'm trying to run fallout in windowed mode under vista and when I use the modified dll from the mod I get an error message saying the game must be played in Windows 95 or NT 4.0 or later.

Stavros: God, thank you for this. It was totally worth the $6 for the info about the resolution mod alone.

Me too. I've tried a bunch of different compat. settings and nothing seems to work. Can anyone help us out?

Have you tried changing the compatibility mode of Fallout?
GOG.com sets Fallout to run in Compatibility mode 98/ME automatically, which is correct because it'll run better that way, but you could give it a try changing compatibility mode to 95 or setting it off. Right click the Fallout icon, Properties -> compatibility mode
If it doesn't help I can contact Timeslip and ask him about it
So installing these won't screw up the fixes GOG did to make the game work under XP/Vista?

Dr_Worm: I tried to use the screen resolution mod to fix a glitch in my game where the bottom half of the screen flickers black every once in a while. It worked, but it's very laggy, probably because I have it running at 1920x1200.
EDIT: I fixed my problem by turning off my SLI settings.

Deleting the ddraw.dll file from Fallout folder works too.

Yes, but then Sfall will _not_ work. And nearly every new Fallout 2 mod uses Sfall.

You only have to delete the file for Fallout 1 not 2.
After installing the resolution mod, I cannot get the screen to scroll in the Radscorpion caves, showing me only the first screen. I'm not totally certain this is a result of that mod, but I had been in the caves previously and had no problem.
