i downloaded fallout 1's high-res patch, but i can't seem to get it to work. im kind of a newb at these things. anyway, the readme suggested i extract the patch to the Fallout installation folder, which it noted as C:\Program Files\Interplay\Fallout... however, the "interplay" folder did not exist in program files, only GOG.COM/fallout. so, naturally, i installed it there instead.
ok, so i installed the patch, loaded up the game, and the readme said to change the resolution by clicking on the "options" button in the main menu. this button does not exist O_o
im pretty sure i followed the directions to the tee... the only thing i can think of is i extracted the patch into the wrong folder, but im not sure which folder would be the correct to install to.

i looked in there as well, and nothing... just the normal game options, and nothing actually labeled "options"... just "preferences"

Oh, right.. I know that in Fallout 2, it was put under visual options or something like that... Well, simply put, it was dug somewhere awkward. Of course, I can't really comment on Fallout 1 since I have this patch only for F2.

wow. i figured it out. im stupid. that's all i have to say lol
