I'm having trouble getting the hi-res config files for fallout 2 to work properly. No matter what changes i make the game always displays in the same way. Specifically, I'm trying to switch over from basic rendering to dx9. I change it in the .ini files, load up the game and go to the options menu. There I see that it teels me it's still in basic rendering mode. I was wondering if anyone knew how to fix this problem, because it's basically making the game unplayable for me.

Try this:

Edit the ddraw.ini file and set:

[Graphics]
'Mode=0' to 'Mode=4'
GraphicsWidth=0 to your screen width
GraphicsHeight=0 and to your screen height

Next, the f2_res.ini file in the game directory:

GRAPHICS_MODE set to 2
COLOUR_BITS to 32
SCR_WIDTH to your screen width
SCR_HEIGHT screen height

and now edit the f2_res.ini in your C:\Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Fallout2\[random numbers] folder to match the same values above.

If this doesn't work, try running the res_config.exe file.

Good luck!

Thanks for the advice, but no such luck. Fallout 2 still thinks it's in graphics mode 0, basic mode.
