Heh, that's my post on the eidos forums, I'd already made it here and read this post before you linked back over :)

The fact that resolution 1 is a crazy huge resolution is interesting, though. Have you tried all valid entries? One might hold the key, though I'm doubtful, because of this interview quote:
Are you planning 480p, widescreen or HDTV support? (720p (1280x720)? 1080i (1920x1080)?)

Paul Weaver: For PC we support various resolutions up to 1600*1200. Currently we have no plans to support widescreen or HDTV.

That does not bode well.

*sigh* :(

The demo doesn't seem to run well on a ti4600; I've got a P4 2.4 Ghz processor and 512 megs of RAM too. It's slow as the creeping crud.

On an AthlonXP 2500+, 1Gig RAM, 5900XT, it's just about playable... but of course, that isn't my widescreen system...

On that (Pentium-M 1.5GHz, 512 RAM Radeon 9000) it runs like a three legged tortoise: going nowhere, not very quickly.

I just installed the demo and have viewed all the config files noticing that yes, it does use the Unreal engine. But alas, I too was not able to get it to support any custom resolutions. Any ideas, anyone?

I tried this game a couple of weeks ago (the retail version), and i couldn't get it in widescreen either. I ended up doing 1600x1200 and stretching it manually (Sony GDM-FW900).

But my system took a beating at the resolution, so i'm sure at 1920x1200 it wouldn't have been too fun to play anyways. (3200XP, 1gb ram, 9800Pro 128mb)

The game ran great for me, I pulled back AA/AF to 2x or 4x, iirc (I normally use 16x), but other than that, no problems. Running at 1024x768 (:( on my 1280x720 screen) on a Barton 3000+, 1GB PC3200, 9800pro 256MB DDR2.

I suspect there may be a way to hack the 'resolution code', where 1=640x480, etc. Maybe one could set 5=1280x720. I just didn't feel like messing with it :) Worse, Deus Ex 2 /does/ support widescreen resolutions via hack (as I just found out now that DE2 is $20). That means they specifically /removed/ widescreen support in Thief 3.

ION sucks imo.
