Try to isolate your problem. First thing is to try the ini switch with a resolution that is natively supported by the game. If that does not work then you can identify that the problem is with your method and not the widescreen resolution. |

Did the game work before you changed the ini file ? |

If it has never run properly than the problem is not with the widescreen resolution. Try deleting the ini first if you have not done so already. I would also check that your drivers are up to date. If it persists I suggest looking for forums dedicated to the game as that would be the place most likely to have information about troubleshooting. |

Do other games work ok ? As it has never worked it looks like a display driver or directX problem. |
