.::FALLOUT YESTERDAY::.


Hello mutants!
Welcome to Fallout Yesterday - a free Van Buren game in Fallout 2 engine!




.:: IMPORTANT!::.

To play this Post-Nuclear RPG you *have* to own:

1) a copy of Fallout 1 (c) Bethesda
2) a copy of Fallout 2 version US 1.02d (c) Bethesda
3) a copy of Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel (c) Bethesda



.::INSTALL GUIDE IN 5 EASY STEPS!::.

1. Extract the game to a new folder of your choice. Do *not* extract the game into an existing Fallout 2 installation.

2. Copy fallout2.exe, master.dat, critter.dat and patch000.dat files from Fallout 2 version US 1.02d install folder to the Fallout Yesterday install folder (the one with patch001.dat)

3. Run f2_res_Config.exe and enable Hi-Res mod. This is mandatory. You can further tweak the resolution by editing SCR_WIDTH & SCR_HEIGHT inside f2_res.ini and GraphicsWidth & GraphicsHeight inside ddraw.ini.
To play at the zoom level of the original Fallout, use your resolution in ddraw.ini and half of it in f2_res.ini.
For example:

ddraw.ini

GraphicsWidth=1920
GraphicsHeight=1080

f2_res.ini

SCR_WIDTH=960
SCR_HEIGHT=540

If you set an incorrect resolution setting, the game may run very slow for you or not at all. In that case, set all resolution values to 0 to use Fallout's native 640x480 resolution. Then tweak the values until you find those that work for you and look good. Forcing the game use a 3D video card under Windows Control Panel -> Display -> Graphic Settings should help with performance.

4. To pick new Traits, leave one or two slots open during character creation and then select them in-game.

5. Use your skills, items, and weapons, observe the details, experiment, enjoy!




See you in the wasteland,
