I've tested at 1920 x 1200 and it works perfectly!

Really a gorgeous game...

Now we just need someone to test 1920x1080, and this gets upgraded to a B.

I'm trying to see if I can't get this working in TH, and I found that you got your command line switches are wrong, its -w not -v, the game works with height and width not horizontal and vertical.

I can't push the width past 4090, putting it any higher then that makes the game only render in 1 pixal width, however since the game runs in sudo fullscreen mode it will still display at the screens native resolution, ie you can go 4080x1050 over 2 and a bit monitors. I'll get some screenshots in a bit.

Correction, it work in sudo fullscreen mode in none preset resolutions, otherwise it goes to normal fullscreen mode. 4080x768 worked but you couldn't see any objects unless you viewed them one of a few angles, I couldn't find anyway to fix this, there is a similar thing in all the other resolutions as well but its no where near as bad.

1680x1050


3840x960


4080x1050

I decided to reinstall an old favorite on my current computer while I wait for the next Guild Wars 2 BETA weekend event.

Anyway, for those interested. This is the only way to get a legit copy of Homeworld 2 to function on a Windows 7 64-bit machine:

Big cursor issue?
add "-hardwarecursor" to .exe

Camera issues?
Turn on Vsync

Game not loading after double-clicking on the .exe?
Download the German .exe file

Seeing lots of wacky colorful triangles?
Add "-noVBO" to .exe

Cannot see ships at 5760x1080+ resolutions?
I can't either, I'll let you know when I find a fix. So far it seems to be ATI driver related. The game works fine at 1920x1080 though.
