If memory serves me correctly the prior version only supported 1024x768... does this support higher ???

Nope. Just that one resolution.

Please see this thread:

It does work fine on higher resolution monitors, but you may need to tweak your settings to get the best image quality.

  what a shame....  not sure why they would make all of those improvements, yet not tweak it (I know its an engine thing) to adjust for wide screen higher resolutions...

   ack.. have to pass on it for now..   tks for the reply btw

It's not a tweak, it's a heart transplant combined with liposuction, with some hairplugs thrown in on top of all that.

The game looks great on my 1680x1050 22" Samsung wide-screen monitor.

Same here, I've run it on three different high resolution widescreen displays and it looks great on all of them. I'm just not sure what other folks are seeing and I'm thinking they don't have their settings set right in their video drivers or their monitor.

Windows mode would help.It looks poor on my 24.

Have you tried adjusting your video driver and/or monitor scaling options?

Why doesn't this at least run in a window?

I cannot even alt-tab out of the game since my screen resolution is all messed up until I actually quit.

This is kind of basic Windows programming stuff, right?

Any chance for a fix?

Hi Mike,

I was very skeptical about purchasing CoG:EE because of this, but I have to admit that since I did some adjustment of the scaling settings in my ATI CCC, the game looks great. I wouldn't let this issue prevent you from buying. It's a huge improvement over the original CoG.

 I have 2 rigs... an old XP Pro with an NVidia Geforce 6800  and a new Asus Gaming Laptop with a GT9800 vid card respectively..  my monitor is a 20" Samsung widescreen.  Is the scaling
setting an option within the video card tweak settings??? I'm assuming so...  looking for that little gem before I decide to buy the game....  I use the monitor on both rigs.

tks for the reply....

Mike,

On my system here with a GeForce 6200 and two 1680x1050 monitors, the settings are in my video driver control panel and look like this:

DasTactic · Post by **DasTactic** » Mon Mar 16, 2009 3:12 pm

I'm not too sure Mike. I run mine on a 24 inch monitor using a 9800GTX card and I don't get scaling (stretching). I had changed the settings previously so older games that don't support wide-screen would display at the correct ratio. So I guess I'm saying you should be right.

MikeToth · Post by **MikeToth** » Mon Mar 16, 2009 3:52 pm

   well you've convinced me.. I'll give it a go...  tks so much for the help guys... couldnt find a scaling option on that old 6800 I have,  but I know my new rig has it..  One last dumb question,

my Asus is a Vista 64 bit machine.. will the game run ok on Vista 64???

tks again  [&o][:)]

Erik Rutins · Post by **Erik Rutins** » Mon Mar 16, 2009 6:32 pm

Yes, it does run find on Vista 64. We haven't listed that on the "officially supported" list because some parts are quite different from Vista 32. However, it works on our Vista 64 test system and we've had no problem reports from customers running Vista 64 that were unique to that OS.

If you don't see that option on your system with the 6800, it probably just means that you need to update your video drivers with the latest from www.nvidia.com. If I see it on a 6200, it would certainly work on a 6800.

Am I the only one who has the problem alt-tabbing out of the program back into Windows?

EagleMountainDK · Post by **EagleMountainDK** » Mon Mar 16, 2009 7:00 pm

I own a 20" 1680x1050 monitor and like you Mike I must confess I like games that gives me this resolution. But I took the plundge today and bought the game. My LCD monitor has a hardware option letting me decide if I want stretching or not. And like most people here I can say that it looks sharp at 1024x768 with two black bars on the sides. Now I just have to learn how to play the game [:D]
