    Boiling Point.

    Does anyone have this game? Firstly, does it work at 1280x1024? Secondly is it just me or is it really hard?

    1280x1024 is a bog standard resolution and the native resolution of 99% for TFT's, so not running at the res is extremly unlikely. I have never known a modern game not too. I would be 99.999999999999999999...% sure it will.

    If you think it's hard, i take it you have this game no? so you should know what res it runs at. If not, buy it. it looks bloody awesome.

    I have it but can't get it to run in 1280x1024 despite a 6800gt and 3ghz P4 and 1gb memory!

    I played it the other day, it is so boring and crap, and performs crappy on my system even on the lowest settings.

    Isn't it just.

    You can fudge it, but surely you'd have thought it would be officialy supported.

    Well, 1280x1024 is not a 4:3 resolution. It's a common resolution, but it doesn't fit standard aspect ratios. Their are several games that don't have it as an option.

    I have it, performs well but it's a bit dull so far. Hope it livens up soon.

    Its a massive game, but I got 9800 Pro etc *stats in sig* and it runs fine - obviously not at highest graphics, but most effects on, and most graphical settings on high, at the highest resolution it will go at. (The damn game doesn't support widescreen resolutions )

    Its one of the worst made games I have ever played, after playing for about 15minutes my guy got stuck on the phone and I couldnt get him off it, so I uninstalled. Shame really lots of potential but bloody awful implementation.

    So the concensus is no 1280x1024! Are games going backwards or what? Also the baddies see as well at night as they do during the day. Stoopid.

    Probably the most buggiest game in the last 10 years, but I could be wrong.
