is it just the menu?? We already heard about some - including me - who have fullscreen menu. But we don't know why, or how to get it. Furthermore it is not really fullscreen, it is just stretched.

I have always had this issue, but it seems installing certain games will strangely fix this. I have no idea why.

The ingame options do not give me an option to change the resolution, where can I find it?
edit: I found it and changed the reso yet it does not change? I tried lowering it and maxing it yet nothing happens

The game's resolution in the front end is always 800x600 no matter what (unless changed by hex-editing the game's executable). With that said, the resolution you set in the Video Options menu *will* be reflected in-game when a map is loaded, so you have nothing to worry about.
