Alright, I guess DaFox must have been mistaken about 1280x768 support. If anyone else thinks that 1280x768 is supported natively, please show us a screenshot of the resolution in the drop-down list.

Grade is C+, lack of native 1280x768 support is a consequential flaw.

I distinctly remember having 1280x768

I believe this could be due to the same reason why the hack is getting so much attention People are seemingly randomly not getting resolutions, Even ones on the Res List, and even if they have a capable 512MB+ card.

I believe its fair to leave the rating for now as I do not have any proof and I'm not willing to pull out the disk and install it again. But I definitely remember it being there unless I was smoking something.

I'm placing this resolution back in the "untested" list until we get REAL confirmation.

At least everyone seems to be able to get their native resolution. I'd think that this silliness will be resolved once (if) a patch gets released.

I'll test it once they release a demo for it, my rule-book includes a no-demo=no-purchase entry.

Only 1280x720 and 1280x800. Maybe you saw 1024x768 DaFox and got confussed?

Yeah I just reinstalled the game for the sole reason of checking this. And thats messed up because I distinctly remember seeing it and going oh thats wierd that I have access to that.

But no what is wierd is the fact that I have access to 1152x720, I have never ever seen that resolution before.

But anyway I got the reslist from Racer_S too

640, 480
800, 480

Let's call that list the word of god and never discuss the matter again (unless they fix it with a patch).

Alright then, I'm gonna put 1280x768 in the "not working" category. Does this change the grade?

Grade is C+, lack of native 1280x768 support (though moreover, seemingly unreliable resolution-select programming) is a consequential flaw.

I apologize for posting on this old thread, but I figured some would be interested to know with a 2gb vram card prototype doesn't show my native 1920x1080. Max is 1280x800.

This is the steam version which should be fully patched.

Sorry for the year bump but I have this exact same problem. A friend just gifted me Prototype for Christmas but the maximum resolution I can set it to is 1280x800. It was the Steam version and my graphics card is an eVGA 2GB GTX460. Does anyone have any solution? I'd really appreciate it cause I hate not running full screen games in 1920x1080 cause they always screw up my desktop layout and my secondary monitor layout.

Awesome, thanks. That worked. I hadn't tried that because I thought it was specifically only for multimonitor setups and I'm only using one monitor for the game.
