Resizing Gaming Window? ARGH.

Is anyone else having troubles resizing the game window?

I can only use the one option: The one you log in with, ie, smaller windowed. When I choose full screen, I get complete cut off: top and bottom, because I use a widescreen. Apparently it's not meant for that nor does it recognize it in full screen mode. I believe Charlie was saying the same as I, but I wanted to see if it were an all-around problem.

Soooo... I go down to the custom sizes, but when you click on those, absolutely nothing happens! Is it me?- or have they not worked that out yet?

When I first started testing they had fullscreen allowed but they took it away. I have tried changing the game window sizes and I also tried changing my screen resolution on my computer as well. I found that in the long run making the game window bigger while not being fullscreen it made the game run slower. So I just switched back, and I will wait till they bring fullscreen back. It's either all or nothing!

I play windowed (do not like playing in full screen mode) and have to switch to the higher resolution every time I log in, but it does work for me. Perhaps it has something to do with what your monitor resolution is set at? I know I have had issues with other applications if there was a discrepancy between game and monitor resolution.
If you think the 800x600 window has less lag then I will try that next time I log in.

Are you using a larger widescreen monitor? ... I only like Full screen. I've checked everything with my resolutions, it isn't that... but the actual buttons in the options menu don't change anything which makes me believe that they haven't played around with that yet. No biggie... I'd prefer the game bugs fixed first, lol.

Everytime I send in a bug report I add a P.S. and note the lack of a widescreen option.

Also, is it just me or does everyone think the wooded areas are a bit too dark?
