Alright, got my new laptop today, and the first thing I did was install WA.
So everything seems fine at the menu, go to the options, increase the resolution to the max value, somewhere around 1280x780 or something

So I go ingame, and it's still 640x480, quit the game, go to the menu, and the resolution was still correct (wasn't set to 640x480)

Tried different compatibility modes, nothing worked.

(CPU1) Intel® Core™2 Duo CPU T8300 @ 2.40GHz @ 2401MHz (ASUSTeK Computer Inc. M51Sn mainboard) (RAM) 4GB, 1.73GB free (HDDs) 225GB, 193GB free
(VGA1) NVIDIA GeForce 9500M GS (512MB), 1280x800x32, 59Hz (OS) Microsoft® Windows Vista™ Home Premium

Is my setup. Any suggestions? I think it has something to do with the menu always being 640x480 no matter what resolution you use, and Vista is refusing to change the res when I go into a match.

Does the resolution setting in the menu persist after you restart the game?

Yeh, it would.
All is fine now, however, I updated to the latest beta (I had a slightly older version) and everything is working properly now.

I have dl the most recent patches and it still forces the 800x600 view! I can't figure out why.
