    Hi Guys,
    I'm playing the game with a fairly weak card, so at a fairly low resolution (1024x768). Now, the problem is that the game cannot be played full screen. I mean, it's not windowed, but the size of the screen is only 1024x768, it does not tile, as seen in the screenshot (50% sized).
    I tried all the modes of the video card software (centered, tiled, etc), but I always have the upper and lower margin.
    Any solution/idea?
    thanks.

    i've got black bars too. they're not that thick, but they're there. IIRC, Assassin's Creed has them too. doesn't seem like anything to worry about.

    on a side note, i think my black bars aren't there for the opening credits - what about yours?

    I believe that the game is supposed to be played in letter-box format hence the black bars.

    There is a second where the bars are not there, but then they come out.
    May be the game doesn't support 16:10?

    Such a good game, but such a stupid issue.
