Fallout 2 Mac Download

Fallout New Vegas Mac OS X. The RPG of The Year in 2011 is finally available everyone who own a Macbook/iMac. Many players have requested this game and now we present Fallout New Vegas Mac OS X version, 100% FREE and very easy to get.The game is in.dmg format, so all you need to do is to download it and run the installer. Like much of GOG.com's catalog, the three free Fallout games are older - Fallout originally debuted in 1997, Fallout 2 in 1998 and Fallout Tactics in 2001. Also, like many of GOG.com's games, the three Fallout games are not 'native' Mac (or Windows) ports - in fact, they run inside of a DOS emulator.

Fantasy fans and those with a leaning towards Civ copycats are fairly well catered for by PC games right now. but there are few modem day examples of truly great turn-based games with futuristic leanings.The FalloutRPG series is one of them, and with a complex character development system and many skills to choose from, you can spend literally hours tinkering about with your characters, fine-tuning them until you have a squad that can deal with any situation the game might throw at them. The storyline is way above par given the throwaway plots usually associated with many of Fallout 2's fantasy counterparts, and there are plenty of twistsin the tale along the way. In fact, you can influence the story yourself, to an extent, depending which characters you choose to align with.

On the downside, the interface is a little cumbersome, particularly while moving units around in combat. And the graphics were never going to win any awards when the game was released, so they won't be knocking your socks off now. But if solid gameplay is high on your agenda, for the princely sum of five pounds. Fallout 2 will keep you entertained for a very long time to come.

Fallout 1 was originally designed to run at 640x480 resolution. I wanted to run the Mac OS X version of Fallout on my MacBook 11', which has a 1366x768 display. There is a high resolution patch, but it only supports the Windows version of Fallout.

Turns out that the OS X version of Fallout runs through Wine, so we can get this patch working with just a few configuration changes:

Note for Fallout 2 users: The process for Fallout 2 is essentially the same, with a different patch, and some minor pathing differences. Other than that, the process is exactly the same!

Install Wine

  1. Install Homebrew, a package manager for OS X
  2. Open a terminal and install Wine with brew install wine

Note: Installing Wine will take some time. You may move on to 'Configure Fallout's Wine Launcher' while Wine is installing, but wait until the Wine installation is complete before attempting 'Configure and Patch'.

Configure Fallout's Wine

  1. Right click on /Applications/Fallout/, and choose 'Show Package Contents' to browse Fallout's files
  2. Run the Wineskin utility, and click 'Screen Options'
  3. Change the 'Resolution' option to 'Current Resolution' (Or the resolution you plan on running Fallout at. You may need to revisit this step when selecting the patch's resolution.)
  4. Click 'Done' to go back to the main Wineskin menu
  5. Click on 'Advanced', and then the 'Winetricks' button under 'Utilities'
  6. Under the 'dlls' list, put a check next to 'd3dx9', and click the 'Run' button, then 'Run' again to confirm

Install the High Res Patch

  1. Download and extract the Fallout 1 High Resolution Patch
  2. Extract 'Fallout1_High_Resolution_Patch_v4.1.8.exe'
  3. Copy all files except the 'data' directory to Applications/Fallout/Contents/Resources/drive_c/GOG Games/Fallout (Note:, this path is for the GOG version of Fallout. This path may differ slightly depending on the version of Fallout you have.)
  4. Merge the 'data' directory into Applications/Fallout/Contents/Resources/drive_c/GOG Games/Fallout/data/ (Do not overwrite the data directoy. We need to keep the original files around.)
  5. (Optional) Create a backup copy of Applications/Fallout/Contents/Resources/drive_c/GOG Games/Fallout/falloutw.exe

Configure and Patch

Note: Make sure Wine is installed before performing these steps.

Fallout
  1. Open a terminal and navigate to Applications/Fallout/Contents/Resources/drive_c/GOG Games/Fallout/
  2. Run wine f1_res_Config.exe
  3. Make sure 'Windowed' is unchecked
  4. Select the resolution matching Fallout's Wine configuration (see 'Configure Fallout's Wine', step 3)
  5. Click the 'Enable' button to enable the Hi-Res patch
  6. Click 'Done'

Run Fallout

That's it! You should now be able to run Fallout in a higher resolution. You may need to tweak the patch configuration and Fallout's Wine to get it working.

Troubleshooting

Fallout

'Error initializing video mode'

If you get a Windows-style error message that says 'Error initializing video mode', it means that Fallout's Wine and the patch are not configured to the same resolution. They must match to work.

Inverted/Distorted Colors

Game Feature: Hexagonal Map

If the game runs but the colors are inverted/distorted, it means the 'd3dx9' DLL is not installed in Fallout's Wine. See 'Configure Fallout's Wine', step 6.
