I do it through Steam launch options now. Tried it with a older build of a non steam version through command line too, same results. 1080p works splendidly with hardware rendering. It doesn't seem to matter whether I run in fullscreen (-f ) or windowed mode (-w). I threw in EH (Error Handling, I believe) just for the hell of it, though it doesn't seem to matter. Another note, my screen refresh rate is actually 80Hz... maybe this 2560x1440 bug has something to do with the game trying to render it at my native screen resolution/refresh rate. Are there any sort of graphics flags/settings the game uses to detect the monitor's native resolution? I also might try a LAA patch with the exe itself, as the game could be running out of memory at this resolution.

In all honesty, I'd rather play at 1080p or 1600x1200 than use software rendering. By now, I would've normally given up, but the fact that 2560x1440 loads then crashes means the devs at least attempted to add support for this resolution. SC4 bliss is so close... I tried the Radeon tweak in that thread to no avail, but since other people use it, I'm sure there's some OpenGL tweak out there.

I'm trying to get SC4 to run at my monitor's native resolution: 2560x1440. Running the game in directX mode (using the -d flag) spits out a "graphics card could not be initialized" error message. (That's important, as it means SC4 supposedly supports a 2560x1440 resolution, as trying to launch it with unsupported resolutions like 2560x1600 or 1024x767 simply doesn't launch the game/renders it at a default 1280x1024.) Launching it at 1920x1200 works perfectly fine. I switched to software rendering mode, and 2560x1440 works, but the game is uncomfortably slow/laggy. It runs smooth at 2560x1440 in OpenGL mode, but I get a weird bug where everything in the city view is white (though this happens at any resolution). System info: Phenom II X4 980 @ 4.0ghz, 2x AMD 6850 1gb, 12gb RAM, Win 7 SP1 64 bit (I did a clean install of the OS a few weeks ago, so there might be some drivers/programs I'm missing), latest Steam version of the game (build 641 I believe). All OCs are stable, and shouldn't be a problem. Drivers are the newest version. All CCC settings are default as far as I know (though I'm not entirely sure). CrossfireX is disabled. I haven't messed with any of SC4's .ini settings yet. Anyone know how to launch it in DX mode or getting rid of the OpenGL bug?
