Hi All....

Just built a new system with a 4850 GPU on Vista 64 and Im having trouble.

Already sidestepped the Catalyst driver 8.8 issue by downloading and installing the moody beta 8.9

However when I try and run the game it works fine but I cant get my resolution off 1024!??!

I run a 1440x900 monitor supoprted by my card but every time I select the desktop 1440 or regular 1440 options and apply it says restart to change settings but the resolution in the box goes to 1024 again.

help....annoyed.

This is a slightly tricky setting that's somewhat quirky really.. What you have to do is.

1) Select the desired resolution and click APPLY. You will be told to restart and the setting will go back to it's current one.
2) RESELECT the desired resolution, but do NOT click APPLY. Just click on the chat box, type /quit, and exit the game.
3) Reload CoH. You should now be in the desired resolution.
