The resolution and quality settings are managed by the launcher, but not being able to recognize the video card does not allow all changes. These can be edited through the Windows Registry Editor (regedit) in Allow32bpp: 1 (sets resolution at 32 bit per pixel) Size: 3 (sets resolution at 1280x1024) Use32BitTextures: 1 (uses high quality 32-bit texture) UseLowQualityTextures: 0 (disables low quality texture) UseSoftwareCursor: 1 (disables hardware cursor)
