Intro

"FOnline2238.cfg" is a configuration file for various FOnline 2238 specific features that don't exist in vanilla Fallout 2 such as data files loading, on-screen timeouts and more. This file is not created by the installer or FOConfig and is not required to run the game. If the file cannot be found in the FOnline directory, default values are used.

Articles in this category describe each section of configuration file.

Remember, FOnline2238.cfg is NOT a replacement of "FOnline.cfg."
