Hi,

I'm having trouble running Halo at 2560 x 1600 on my Mac Pro with an ATI Radeon X1900 XT and a 30" monitor. I can run it at 2048 x 1536 in a window, but nothing displays at 2560 x 1600 fullscreen. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
someone who loves Macs

Halo is an old game, it is possible it doesn't support such a resolution.

of course. but i've heard it does (also, the option is present in fullscreen mode), and I was wondering what I could do to make it work.

So sorry man. I was really tired when I gave you that reply. I moderate a PC benchmarking company forum and pretty much everyone on there is a PC user. I'll keep my eyes open for a trick to get Halo for Mac to run at that resolution for you.

Seems like trashing preferences fixed it. Halo runs at 2560 now.
