    Hi, I am playing the demo and iw as wondering if there was a way to get the game to play ina lower resolution than what it plays in now. I lag severely when anything other than grass is on my screen. My comp specs are sort of crappy, so yeah that's basically the reason why it don't run so hot in the higher resolutions. However most games run fine at the 800x600 mode. So I was wondering if there's a way to make this or any other game run in a lower resolution? If I can't, then I'm not going to be buying the game when it comes out, because it's that laggy. I was actually surprised that there wasn't an option in game to switch resolutions.

    Hi Ogre.

    Since you say that most other games runs well on your machine in 800*600 I think the problem lies in the missing graphics.

    As for changing the resolution you can't in the demo.

    yup

    I hope the graphichs engine has been severly improved in the final release. It's playable, but it could definately get better.

    Hmm, ok thanks guys, I was thinking that maybe there was some kind of program file you can hack to make it run in 800x600. I checked out some warez forums and they said that the warez release doesn't have a resolution option either, and that's supposed to be the final release. O well.

    I find this funny, some people are complaining that you cannot increase the resolution and this guy is asking for a way to lower the resolution. This just shows you, you can’t please everyone.

    P.S. Ogre this is not meant to be a insult, your reason is valet. I’m just pointing something out to everyone else, that's all.
