ERL_Turbo Offline Late Model Posts: 142 Karma: 1 Thank you received: 4	I run it on my Win8 64bit laptop. Not my main PC for the game, but my res has to be 800 by 600 as well. It will run with it set differently but I get an auto adjust message when game loads and it forces it to 800 by 600. So, I would have to agree with Shock's statement. But it does work fine.

That's what I was thinking. We need to find a way to get it to work in full mode. I wonder if it's like this in other games that are a bit older? Maybe you could search online and see if anyone got the problem resolved without the crappy resolution. I run mine at 1920x1080 and it looks a ton better to me. If you have a widescreen monitor then 800x600 is probably not very good to look at.

Just got win 8 & I am so freakin po'd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! vista was 10 times slower but 10 times better!!! I could run everything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If I have to run 800X600 I will just keep my other pc close by to change out to run dtr2. That's freaking stupid that I have to run Standard TV to run a so called better system!!!!!
