Hi and welcome to the forum. The master games list only includes the demo but I could choose 1920*1200 in the menu in the full game last time I tried iirc. Have you done any recent changes since the cod2 install? New hardware?

And this thread is in the wrong section so expect a mod edit :D

yes, I JUST got a new X1900XT. So I'm hyped about playing the game in my 1920x1200 native!

You say you can do 1920x1200 just in options??? Thats odd, the highest I see is 1600x1200.

Well I added the "iirc" :D :wink:

It's been a long time since I tried it and had it installed but if noone else answer in a timely fashion I'll get on it again and find out.

Cranky has played the demo in 1920*1200 So I don´t get it why the full version won´t support it. And he doesn´t mention any kind of editing or hack.

maybe you have not added the resolution to your card? if it is like nVidia you have to add some resolutions, i for instance have to add all the widescreen resolutions except 1680 x 1050

You are spot on that you often need to add those extra res you want to play in. In this case I took it for granted since it is his native res and if he's not using it on the desktop..... :D

And like framerateuk said. Try reinstalling.

The reason you only see 1600x1200 is because you need to set the aspect ratio to 16:10. This should be on the same display options section as the resolutions. It is defaulted to 4:3 and because of this, all you will see initially is 4:3 resolutions. Once you change it to 16:10, all of your ws resolutions that your monitor/driver supports should show up.

If it isn't in the

in the game then it would be in Windows ... :roll:
