    You probably have to change an .xml file and custom set your resolution. In GRAW, another Ubisoft game, you can modify settings.xml and set: resolution = "xxxx yyyy"

    Luthus, you are 100 percent correct. That is what you have to do. I had to do that in GRAW also, so i could run it at 1280X800. Not much of a difference i know, but it made me feel good.

    Actually, the max for me was 1024x768 as well. However, I updated my drivers, and a resolution was added. I think, 1280x720 or something.

    where might that .xml file be located at. i really cant find it anywhere. looked in c:/users//myname/appdata/local/ubisoft. i have no idea where else to look. i also looked in the actual game data. but i could not find it.
