yeah nothing for 720p sucks... i can do 1776x1000 but its WAYYY too small on a 50i tv.... so cant really play a game that needs reading! :P my "native" 720p is 1152x648 and 648 is lower than 768 so i couldnt find a way to do it... IF anyone find a fix please post it!!!! :) |

Well, when I thought to myself, "Civ IV will suck my life away..." I was right. I was merrily dominating the world ;) in the game most of yesterday... until the fecking thing crashed, anyway. :evil: It's a lot slower than II or III, and it tends to sit and 'think' more... maybe I'm just not playing it on a good enough PC... :( I do like the new Diplomacy system, though. :D And the redone tech tree... |

I'm getting good at guessing where the buttons are that aren't displayed at the bottom of my 1280x720 display. This game has let me down, big time. Good game, other than the whole bit about half the UI being hidden. |

Btw, I emailed Take2 support about the lack of 720p support on 11/8, referenced this thread, and have yet to hear back from them (beyond the "Sorry, we're too busy to answer a paying customer" form email). If it wasn't a great game, it'd be back on EB's shelf. |

Oops, I guess Take2 support won't be seeing this thread after all, lol. |

Hell, looks like they didn't even read my email. Three weeks later, I jsut got this in the email: Dear Sir/Madam Useless garbage tech support. I haven't heard from Firaxis, either, so I assume the official answer on 720p support is "Thanks for the money, sucker." |

(Can a mod remove that crazy wide image and put it in as a link instead? Thanks!) |

Done, Komoto. :) I don't even bother with tech support any longer - unless I need an RMA, at least. Generally, by the time I'm desperate enough to call or e-mail tech support, I've done everything they can suggest, along with a lot of things that the staff wouldn't have a clue about. I love those automated e-mails, though... :roll: |

Thanks. I'll update this thread if I get any /real/ news on the issue. Looks like I'm screwed for now...but Firaxis is a great dev house, there is some possibility of a response or maybe even a patch. |

Looks like 720p users are officially screwed:
Hey, who needs the UI at the bottom, anyway? |
