I had to set it with the FS quick launch icon, just having 2142 wont work. Also if your using plug and play drivers for your monitor, you should change that to the manufacturers drivers.
..except for some widescreen resolutions/ratios, like 1400x900 [ mine] I think its 16:9 but don't take my word as math is my mortal enemy. At any rate ,The engine apparently doesn't like wide ratios.
Still fun at 1024x768... O_o time to start saving for another monitor i guess..
