I d/l'd the demo and it only allows me to go up to 800 x 600. 1024 x 768 is grayed out. Is this higher res available in the full retail game? Thanks.

My specs are: P3 800, 512 Mb pc133 sdram, Win98SE, Voodoo 5 5500, plenty of HD space, SB live and letting
Windows take care of virtual memory

Yes, it is <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />
The reason why we left it out is because the demo was already high enough in size. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Great! Thanks a lot for the quick reply. BTW, I assume the same goes for the 'gamma and contrast' settings (greyed out in demo)? Thanks again.

I've tried forcing the (edit: FULL) game into 1280 x 1024, since this is the 'native' resolution of my TFT monitor, the next res down is 1024x768 and looks crap.

Whenever I try opening the diary through the interface button, only the automap appears, so I have to use the shortcut key for quests etc because there are no buttons on the automap screen.

Also, I frequently get crashes (edit: to desktop) when opening the diary.

I'm fed up with games not supporting these resolutions, as they are pretty much standard nowadays.

I hope this may be fixed in a future patch?

Yeah, but I haven't really had any other problems with it. Except when I kept loading my game lots of times to get a good holy sword and it ended up with a black map and total crash.

Yup, that happens to me a lot whenever I reload more than 40 times in a row <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shame.gif" alt="" /> -- I just take it as a hint to stop reloading. I think it's because your machine eventually runs out of memory, and there's a memory leak associated with reloading too often.
