Basically every game in existence has a mod to allow for full screen windowed to allow for easy alt tab.

## How to Play Fallout 2 in Full Screen Windowed (Borderless) Mode
Recommended Methods:
- Use the Fallout 2 HD WideScreen Fix Mod:
This mod provides a ready-made borderless fullscreen (windowed) configuration at 1920x1080, with UI scaling and other improvements.
- Download the mod and follow its instructions: copy the two files into your Fallout 2 directory and overwrite when prompted.
- This setup enables borderless fullscreen, easy alt-tabbing, and works well with modern monitors[5].
- Manual Configuration (for advanced users):
- Edit f2_res.ini (or use f2_res_config.exe if available):
- Set both "Windowed" and "Fullscreen" options to "on" (value = 1)[2].
- Edit ddraw.ini:
- Set GraphicsMode=4 for DirectX 9 mode.
- Set your desired resolution (e.g., 1920x1080).
- For best clarity, set the high-res patch config resolution to 960x540 if your monitor is 1080p, as this avoids scaling artifacts and keeps the visuals sharp[4].
Summary Table
| Method | Steps | Notes |
|------------------------------|----------------------------------------|------------------------------|
| HD WideScreen Fix Mod | Copy mod files to Fallout 2 folder | Easiest, most reliable[5] |
| Manual INI Configuration | Edit f2_res.ini and ddraw.ini | Flexible, more technical[2][4]|
Tips:
- Always back up your configuration files before making changes.
- Sfall (a Fallout 2 engine mod) and the high-resolution patch are required for these features[4][5].
- Some minor UI glitches may occur, but gameplay is unaffected[5].
This will let you enjoy Fallout 2 in borderless fullscreen windowed mode on modern systems.
