Fallout (Fallout CE)
Game: Fallout (Windows, 1997)
Fallout Community Edition: a fully working reimplementation of Fallout for modern systems, with the original gameplay, engine bug fixes, and some quality-of-life improvements. It builds on Fallout Reference Edition, the same author’s decompilation, which reconstructs the code of the November 1997 version 1.1 for Windows and shares much of its code with the Fallout 2 one. On Windows, fallout-ce.exe replaces falloutw.exe in the game folder; there are also builds for Linux (x86 and x64) and macOS 10.11 or later, native on Intel and Apple silicon, plus Android and iOS. The window size, at any resolution, and fullscreen mode are set in the f1_res.ini file. Among its open goals are moving to the game’s March 1998 version 1.2, which adds multilingual support, and backporting Fallout 2 improvements. The latest release is 1.1.0 (March 3, 2024), and there have been no new commits since January 2025.
You needThe files from your own copy of Fallout (master.dat, critter.dat, and the data folder), from GOG or Steam for example; on Linux and macOS they can be extracted from the GOG installer with innoextract, and on macOS the MacPlay release’s files work too. Plus Windows (32- or 64-bit), Linux with SDL2, or macOS 10.11 or later.
