Developed by Larian Studios, Divine Divinity is an action RPG. This game employs a top-down perspective with mouse-based movement and actions. Combat is fast and geared towards experienced gamers.
The gameworld allows for nonlinear exploration and questing. Character development is a customizable class-based system.
Don't be put off by the goofy title, this game is a gem.
2560x1600 causes the game to crash out with an error.
2048x1536 produced interesting results. The game works and the diary buttons are visible while using the automap. However, the automap is docked against the top of the screen with the buttons directly beneath it (about center screen). It looks a bit awkward but it works properly.

I got it working under 2560x1600, change your rendering mode to DirectDraw.
I tried to play it in 1440x900. Modified the .div and... crashed.
GPF in div.exe.
It's patched to 1.34.
If I edit config.lcl too, the game works for a while before crashing.

When this did crash occur? On load?

When did this crash occur?
I have updated the report to avoid the use of the diary button on the hot bar. It seems to be crash happy because it defaults to the automap. I found pressing "Q" gets to the quest screen where you can then safely use the automap.
Also you were unable to place marker flags on the automap using the above hack.
However Larian has recently released a download version of the game for about US $6. I got mine from Impulse.

Good to see the original customers getting screwed over a la Dungeon Lords.
