So, I can't seem to run the game in fullscreen mode.
I can run it in windowed mode just fine, but if I try any resolution it goes fullscreen and prompts etc, but the game is distorted beyond recognition. I have tried many different resolutions, as well as playing with the advanced graphics settings (culling, compatibility and v sync) but nothing seems to change anything. I can't seem to post a picture of it, either, since the screencap turns out perfectly fine, despite my monitor displaying otherwise. I'm not sure if its my monitor or a display driver, since I can run other modern games at full settings with no issue.
If it would help, here are my specs:
Name: ATI Radeon HD 5800 Series
Manufacturer: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.
Chip Type: ATI display adapter (0x6899)
DAC Type: Internal DAC(400MHz)
Approx. Total Memory: 2549 MB
Current Display Mode: 1440 x 900 (32 bit) (60Hz)
Monitor: Generic PnP Monitor
Running Win7, 64 bit and I have whatever version of Java comes packaged with the game.
I'm currently looking into this problem. And have reproduced it using an ATI Radeon HD 6900 series using the Catalyst 12.1 drivers. Which driver release do you happen to be using? What are your current settings in the Catalyst Control Center's Gaming/3D Application Settings tab?
Also, if you manage to commit the changes to resolution and then restart the client your settings will remain applied the next time the game loads.
