What is your Vid Card how much Memory and what Monitor? (Are you using a TV? Because when I go out to my 36" TV thru the SVGA I am stuck at 640x 480, But I can go all the way to 1600 x 1200 (128 MB DDR nVida card)

"Because if you have a 128MB graphics card stuck into the AGP slot of a super system, you can enjoy the various pieces of genuine small art the game tosses at you. The game is aware of the resources it has at its disposal and uses them accordingly, so on different systems you'll have different options regarding shadow levels, texture quality, screen resolution and stuff like that. And you just HAVE to see how the moon casts dynamic shadows of leaves dancing in the wind on your back, damn! " Quote from a review of the Game. So it could be the driver for your card, Are you using the Patch 1.2?
