    hey, i put most of this games options on high, and resolution on on 1280X800.
    everything is fine except that everything looks really really blurry in the game. its like something is wrong with the pixels because the edges are not sharp.. its kinda hard to describe it but it feels like there is a cloud over my screen and i cant see much detail on units, even with aa turned on medium or high.

    maybe something to do with the ati options ??

    Have you tried lowering the setting and seeing if the problem persists.

    Also you could try updating your Video cards drivers.

    What is the native resolution of your screen? Maybe the LCD doesnt like the resolution of 1280x800.

    You should watch the ATI Catalyst options.Some games have problems with displaying text when AA is on using Catalyst.You should change the performance - (I dont remember) - quality slider to the middle option.IT'll fix it.

    Better to keep everything at default. Theres an option for advanced catalyst a.i or something and if you turn that on its been known to screw up a lot of games. I believe they put a warning not to turn it on unless you know what its for, at least there was.

    Do you have AA enabled? I've found that if I put it on over Level 1, it'll get pretty blurry, rather than just smooth. But that's just my experiences.
