"Go to the map where you have the game installed. (steam -> steamapps -> common -> Fallout 2)

Then click on f2_res_config

Then you see in that Pop Up[ Screen in the left upper corner a button. Change it from Dirext x 9 to Direct Draw 7 .."

Advice I found. Let me know the result.

I agree with what @epeli said, except instead of setting the game to 2x scaler, set it to 960x540. That will keep the font from looking fucked up because its a perfect 1:4 pixel mapping onto 1920x1080. You won't split the rendering of the low resolution font and graphics onto anisotropic subpixels, which is what makes low resolution games scaled to high look both blurry and sharp at the same time.

To be clear, in draw.ini set graphics mode to 4 or 5 (5 and playing with borderless gaming is superior for multi monitor users IMO, mouse is still trapped in window until you alt-tab), the resolution to your desktop's native 1920x1080, and GPUBlt=1. That's it for ddraw.

In f2_res.ini, set graphics_mode=0 which passes along game window resolution control to ddraw. Put scale_2x=0, and set the screen resolution to 960 and 540 (600 for :obviously: 16:10 owners). For fullscreen colors, set it to 8, and all the other graphics options are the same. Windowed does not need to be set to 1 in the subsequent options if you're using dx9 windowed mode, ddraw will handle that.


edit: for reference, this is how those settings make the game look:

edit2: This works exactly the same way for Fallout 2, FYI. For Fallout 1, you have to use a much older version of sfall, Crafty's 1.7.6 and I don't believe rendering in a window works - you have to run it fullscreen 960x540/600. That means adding the resolution to your display driver. This is easy on nvidia, harder on amd, either way: google it.

you gain a [rad] from me,it worked,now how do i make sure that the RP modifier is used? since i wanna play the game with some restored content like how it was in the 90s
 
If I'm not mistaken, it restores content that was cut from before launch. It might reenable stuff like children showing up for some European versions that had them invisible due to rating concerns.
 
There was a crapton of unfinished stuff in the original game files that was disabled and inaccessible. The purpose of F2RP was to finish all that content and make the game what the devs originally intended. They didn't want to add anything new, just finish what was started by the devs.
 
Boys the problem is solved thank you all for trying to help me,much appreciated now imma sleep since online high school at 7 am 5 hours and 40 minutes away from now
