I installed the latest patch. I am running windows xp sp3. I am using an LCD with a resolution of 1280 x 1024 and refresh rate of 60. I edited the config file to the below settings but it still defaults to 800 x 600. I played around with the settings and the closest it would let me come is 1280 x 962??? If I do anything higher such as 1280 x 963 it will default back to 800 x 600. Anyone have a clue as to what the heck is going on with this?

Yes, the game is designed for aspect ratio (width divided by height) between 1.33 (roughly 4:3) and 1.83. Settings outside that range are rejected in the Windows version (the Linux version adds black borders instead). Not much to be done about that, unfortunately.

No offense to the developer but wtf? So the only solution for me is to make the resolution large enough to fit the screen and then run it in window mode? Changing the res from native on an LCD doesn't look that great.
