Fallout 2 Unofficial Patch, updated

Build Status Translation status

This is an updated version of killap's Unofficial Patch for Fallout 2.

Installation

  1. Start with a clean humongous installation of the game.
  2. Download the latest UPU release.
  3. Extract the archive into the main game directory, overwriting files when asked.
  4. Launch upu-install.bat (or upu-install.sh, if you're on Linux/MacOS).

Notes:

  1. UPU does not require starting a new game. See update about that.
  2. If you made any changes to ddraw.ini, these changes will be lost when you overwrite that file. If you want to preserve them, make sure to make a backup copy and then transfer the settings manually to the new ddraw.ini.

Update

  • You can install UPU on top of UP 1.02.31 to make use of the fixes.
  • To update from an older UPU version, extract and overwrite the following files: mods/upu.dat, ddraw.dll, sfall.dat.

In both cases, you won't see some of the fixes on the already visited maps. Other than that, savegames should be compatible, but no guarantees.

Translations

If you want to play a localized version:

  1. Grab the corresponding language file from the latest release. Drop it into mods subdirectory.
  2. Change language=english in fallout2.cfg to your selected language.

Most translations are incomplete, they are provided as is. You can help with completion. Details are here.

Reporting issues

If you've found an issue:

  1. Keep in mind that UP's scope is only to fix bugs. Not to add "nice to to have" things.
  2. Check known issues.
  3. Follow the instruction.
