Forum:Tech support please?

I got the Fallout Original Trilogy for Christmas, and it looks like this. http://img40.imageshack.us/img40/9556/newbitmapimagepo.png

(well not quite that bad; the black areas look normal, and it only affects cinematics, but still.) Any possible fixes? I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate. Also, it affects FO1 and 2 but not Tactics. 70.26.81.124 19:55, December 26, 2009 (UTC)


 * Aha! I'm having a similar problem. About half the time, I can get the textures to load properly, but it's mostly this. Nitty Tok. 20:10, December 26, 2009 (UTC)
 * EDIT: Well, it seems nobody would help me an' you, anon. But, I figured it out! Downloading Sfall (in the latest F2 RP, dunno where the F1 one is) and switching the color mode to 16bit fixed it. Thanks for nothing, community! :P Nitty Tok. 21:30, May 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * Woah. Is this just from taking a screen shot, or the actual gameplay?! I've never had this problem in-game; the only time I saw something similiar was by using  to take screenshots instead of  . How bizarre. Then again, the Fallout games have always been really buggy. Ghouly89 (Talk) 04:51, May 29, 2010 (UTC)
 * The screenshot made the black, but the funky colors are a part of the gameplay. It affected the entire game for me (IE, the cover of the Field Medic First Aid Kit was green, not white), but I fixeded it. Nitty Tok. 04:52, May 29, 2010 (UTC)

Nitty, can you post a link that I can use to download those patches you mentioned to fix the games. I bought the Fallout Trilogy from Gamestop and am having the same problem.Son of God-Enel 05:44, July 31, 2010 (UTC)

I believe the problem can also be fixed by first right-clicking the executable file (Not the short cut), going to the compatibility tab under properties, and checking the "run in 256 colors" option. Should do the same thing. MFToast - talk 06:38, September 26, 2010 (UTC)
