    This game needs widescreen resolution support ASAP

    Microsoft specifically stated that any game with the Games for Windows logo on the box has widescreen support, out of the box.  Well, this game has the GFW logo, but no widescreen support.

    Please include this in the first patch, as I have tried fooling with config files and modifying my shortcut to get my native monitor resolution (1440x900).

    I would also like to be able to run in 1440x900 resolution...at the moment the highest I can go is 1280x1024 which is pretty bad - when the game is about to launch, it enters this resolution and I can see my desktop become all stretched, meaning inside the game mustn't be very good either.

    Great job Microsoft.  Get the game out of the box (after having to reinstall Vista again this morning) to find that only the highest 16:10 widescreen resolution is supported.  My $250 ATI 1600 Pro card can't even play low settings at this resolution.  We need more widescreen resolutions!  Maybe they should have put yet another delay on the game until it was TRULY ready for release.

    Sincerely,

    PISSED OFF

    There are some widescreen resolutions, but I noticed not many.  Thankfully my native is 1920x1200 which is available.

    I only saw 2 resolutions when I was setting H2V up, and niether were the same shape as my monitor.  It's sorta like I bought a beta.  I understand that this and other problems will be fixed eventualy, but it sorta sucks.

    Agreed. Microsoft should really have thought about the widescreen resolutions before launching this game.

    Nevertheless, the guys over at Widescreen Gaming Forums seem to be halfway to a solution.
