Turns out that the OS X version of Fallout runs through Wine, so we can get this patch working with just a few configuration changes:
Note for Fallout 2 users: The process for Fallout 2 is essentially the same, with a different patch, and some minor pathing differences. Other than that, the process is exactly the same!
Install Wine
- Install Homebrew, a package manager for OS X
- Open a terminal and install Wine with
brew install wine
Note: Installing Wine will take some time. You may move on to 'Configure Fallout's Wine Launcher' while Wine is installing, but wait until the Wine installation is complete before attempting 'Configure and Patch'.
Configure Fallout's Wine
- Right click on
/Applications/Fallout/
, and choose 'Show Package Contents' to browse Fallout's files - Run the
Wineskin
utility, and click 'Screen Options' - Change the 'Resolution' option to 'Current Resolution' (Or the resolution you plan on running Fallout at. You may need to revisit this step when selecting the patch's resolution.)
- Click 'Done' to go back to the main
Wineskin
menu - Click on 'Advanced', and then the 'Winetricks' button under 'Utilities'
- Under the 'dlls' list, put a check next to 'd3dx9', and click the 'Run' button, then 'Run' again to confirm

That's it! You should now be able to run Fallout in a higher resolution. You may need to tweak the patch configuration and Fallout's Wine to get it working.

'Error initializing video mode'
If you get a Windows-style error message that says 'Error initializing video mode', it means that Fallout's Wine and the patch are not configured to the same resolution. They must match to work.
