PATCHES (also in the tech FAQ)

Learn about the three versions of Fallout: v.1.0 (initial NA), v.1.1 (patched NA), and v.1.2 (European). Use v.1.1 or v.1.2.

There are three distinct versions of Fallout available. Fallout v.1.0 is the initial North American release. Fallout v.1.1 is the patched North American release. Fallout v.1.2 is the European release, which notably does not include children.

Recommendation: It is recommended that you use either version 1.1 or 1.2.
