Fallout 2 on mac can't run in a window?

Google helps not. I would *really* prefer to run this game in a window, especially since I cannot command-tab out of the full-screen or Expose or anything.

 

This maybe totally wrong, but isn´t there a config.cfg/config.ini/setting.xyz-file where you should be able to force Fallout 2 to run windowed only?

 

I couldn't find one.

 

Hmm, don´t just look for *.cfg/*.ini files. In the Fallout root directory there has to be some small (kb- or even bite-sized) file containing the settings.

 

There is a .cfg for the fallout games but they don't offer xy data.

Here's the cfg from fallout1

I don't know what the differences are between 1 and 2, but my guess is that there's not much.

 

I was kinda sure; btw: no post of a Fallout 2 settings file available, guys?

EDIT: Ok, I know this is weak, but this obviously allows you at least to play Fallout 1 & 2 in window mode under Windows...

 

Bah, I'm trying to avoid Windows, which is why I have the Mac version...

 

You can "command - H" to hide the application...

 

Yea even using the default pc config you cant run in a window, so yea low chance that mac can : <
