Fallout 2 is a computer role-playing game published by Interplay in 1998. The second game takes place in 2241, 80 years after the first Fallout. It tells the story of the original hero's descendant and his or her quest to save their primitive tribe from starvation by finding an ancient environmental restoration machine known as the "Garden of Eden Creation Kit", or GECK. Although featuring an almost completely new game world, stories, and adventures that are several times larger than its predecessor, the game mechanics from Fallout remain mostly unchanged, with the majority of changes to fix interface issues.
Can you add two more shots here? One at the default 640x480 resolution, and one at 1680x1050 (the highest 16:10 that you know works).
==Supported resolutions==
You said 1280x800 fails. Are you able to set your Windows desktop resolution to 1280x800?
==Cut-scenes==
Can you include comparison screenshots here?
Finally, you're missing the "singleplayer anomalies" section. Since Fallout 2 has several "screens" available, the behavior of these screens should be snapshotted, documented, and analyzed in this section.

1. Ok.
2. No, I cant
3. Ok, but all gui screens so far keep their original resolution and show a bit of gameplay area...
a) I can't seem to get the hack to work (Vista 64-bit). How do i know if i'm using 1.02d? Otherwise i could test the resolutions for you.
Edit: i checked, and the main menu screen has Fallout II 1.02 in the bottom right corner, but no "d". What's the "d" for?
b) Will the hack be compatible with the soon to be released http://www.gog.com fallout 2 release?
a)Look at low right corner of loading screen. i use Vista 32 and all is ok. Any aerrors during patching?
That's is ok, first there where 1.02a, themn 1.02b, but it show 1.02 omly...
b)We will see. The hack is still updated... But you cant know, before you try...
Okay... i'm stupid. Got it working. I forgot to run the .exe once extracted in the fallout 2 folder. Works well so far...
Whereabouts would i go about putting your save files to generate the missing resolution for you? As i can't seem to find my own saved games... not in the fallout 2 installation directory, /Program Files/BlackIsle/Fallout2/, nor in users//My Games/
Is it really "fixing" the widescreen in FO2, or is it just zooming you further and further out as you increase the resolution, or is that how widescreen is meant to be implemented in this game due to it being isometric....
I'll drum up some shots to show what i mean.
Here we go:
1280x800 (16:10):
1680x1050 (16:10):
I guess what it means is it puts the ball in your court... if you want the zoomed out view then put in your native resolution. If you want to keep it zoomed in and tight then put in a lower resolution at the same aspect ratio. Personally i am liking it at my native 1680x1050 with the "zoomed out" feel.
3. Ok, but all gui screens so far keep their original resolution and show a bit of gameplay area...
Then we would appreciate screenshots that demonstrate this.
Also, how about the character creation screen? What happens on those screens at higher resolutions?

What you're witnessing is pixel-based behavior. It's considered acceptable behavior for 2D games.
