[Download on creator site](https://github.com/alexbatalov/fallout2-ce/releases/tag/v1.3.0) ## Return to the wasteland with a different goal Fallout 2 sends a new protagonist out to find a Garden of Eden Creation Kit and save their village. Its setting is a later chapter of the same post-nuclear world, where survival depends on a character’s skills and traits as well as the people they encounter. The attraction is shaping that character through a long role-playing journey rather than following a fixed action hero.

It can replace the Windows executable in an owned installation, or use those assets on Linux, macOS, Android and iOS. This is the Fallout 2 engine: the separate first-game Community Edition has its own installation. The distinction matters most for mods. Restoration Project, Fallout Et Tu and Olympus 2207 are not supported. The developer describes original Nevada and Sonora versions as likely to work when they avoid extended Sfall features, without confirming a complete playthrough. A mod working with the old Windows executable does not automatically make it compatible here.

This preserves the interface’s many precise interactions but rewards a readable screen size. Adjust f2\_res.ini for window dimensions and fullscreen mode; the project recommends logical tablet resolution rather than raw display pixels. Android’s first import can take much longer for a localized installation or a mod containing many loose files. Release and debug apps also keep separate saves and assets, so changing app type is not a seamless campaign transfer.

Start with the standard game and its documented configuration before expecting an advanced override or total conversion to behave as it does in another engine.

An owned installation supplies master.dat, critter.dat, patch000.dat, and the data directory. Keep filenames lowercase for the documented mobile setup. Creator-reported: [Project guide](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/alexbatalov/fallout2-ce/HEAD/README.md) ## How do I get started? Download the platform package and place the replacement executable in your Fallout 2 installation. Mobile builds import the game-data folder through the documented platform workflow. Creator-reported: [Project guide](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/alexbatalov/fallout2-ce/HEAD/README.md) ## Which devices and browsers work? Windows, Linux, macOS, Android and iOS are documented. macOS requires 10.11 or later. Creator-reported: [Project guide](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/alexbatalov/fallout2-ce/HEAD/README.md) ## What are the controls? Desktop play retains mouse-oriented input. Mobile controls use a virtual trackpad: one finger moves the pointer, one-finger tap clicks, and two-finger tap changes cursor mode.

Restoration Project, Fallout Et Tu and Olympus 2207 are not supported; other total conversions have incomplete or untested compatibility.
