I can't for the life of me get it to work under Windows 7 ..
I have the Steam version just in case, and it use to work fine under Vista.
However, i never tested it in Vista with the 5870.

In a nutshell, when i start the game, my main monitor goes black, and the extended monitor goes into a continuous resolution change loop.
The game does not generate any errors, and i have to Ctrl+Alt+Del to go back to desktop.

Anyone ?

Ok.  UPDATE

I managed to start the game by disabling my extended monitor.

Shouldn't have to do that tho...  What do you think spyre ?

Well I didn't try it with an extended monitor.  Lots of games don't like extra monitors and have issues.

Thanks for the reply spyre..

Funny thing is, i have re-enabled my extended monitor and the game still works..   really strange that disabling\re-enabling extended monitor fixed the issue.

anyway....

The same behavior occurs on Nvidia cards also so its an application issue.
