Thumbs down "Cannot Display This Video Mode"

After the last update i'm getting troubles after the log in screen. All it says is "Cannot Display This Video Mode" then "Optimum resolution 1280 X 1024 60Hz". I tried changing my resolution but its not going away. I can also hear the game but no picture. Any ideas?

It will may work in windowed mode or forcing the Resolution - changing in game_options.txt, then making the file Read Only. The other question is, has the resolution used by the operating system changed? Might try right-click on the desktop, then Properties. Then under the Settings tab, try changing your resolution to something else in there, to see if it reverts the game to a different resolution. I have also seen a few writeups where people have experienced various video problems since the change, but not this specific one yet.

Yay! You're first! Doesn't that make you happy? (Sorry, sarcasm is not that easy to see in print). But hopefully one of the things I mentioned will make it work.

Loot Hard!

I dont wanna mess around with the program files just yet, incase it goes bonkers and I cant put it back to the original. I tried changing my resolution to just about every one possible and still nothin'. I actually sent in a bug report and im talking to a techie on the "live help chat" thing, so shes helping me out right now. Hopefully it gets sorted out, or i'm gonna have some kinda game withdrawal. Oh yeah, I feel really special. :P

Ugh. As soon as 7:00 hit, she left. And the transcript said I closed the chat window, when I was actually waiting for her for over 20 minutes after she said "Thank you, one moment please". -____- so much for tech support.

Edit: WOOO! I called tech support and they helped me out! Its working its working! *hugs her game*
