Here's an odd bug.
If I try to load up GC2 with my desktop set to 1280x1024 (32-bit color), the game doesn't start. Instead, I get a black window. It looks like the game is trying to open up full-screen, but at a lower resolution.
If I load up GC2 at 1024x768 (32-bit color), I'm fine.
I have the latest Catalyst drivers for my Radeon 9800 Pro, and I'm running the most current build of GC2.
Here's my ERR file...
