If you change the resolution of the "TGE Demo Advance" to 1600 x 1200 and 1920 x 1200, the resolution will switch to 1050.

The resolutions 640 x 480, 800 x 600, 1024 x 768, 1280 x 800, 1280 x 1024, 1440 x 900 and 1680 x 1050 are ok.

Windows XP. Latest DirectX (WEB March 2008) and Drivers 69.21: Nvidia 7800GS.

Good catch--out of curiosity, what was your underlying desktop resolution set to?

The underlying desktop resolution is 1920 x 1200.

I'm glad I read this. My monitor's native resolution is 1680 x 1050 and I was wondering if TGEA would look right at that res or if it would even allow me to use that res. I haven't had time to actually test it out yet.

This should be fixed in Beta 2. Please retest if you get a chance. Thanks!

If you change the resolution of the "TGE Demo Advance" to 1600 x 1200 and 1920 x 1200, the resolution will switch now to 1680 x 1050.

It is fixed.
