All Dark on 1600x1050 resolution | Forums

[Monsanto]

I see nothing but the reticule when I try to play the game on 1600x1050 resolution. The next highest resolution works fine but the game kind of looks bad (I see no visual improvement since RS 3) and I would like to try it at max res. I am running Vista on this system, so that may be the reason. Any thoughts?

Since the game is a Console Port and there is no Optimization for PC, there is no rhyme or reason with their video resolutions. You can either try one that works or look around the Sticky LEGAL TWEAKS thread to see how you can alliviate some of these problems.

Good Luck
