As a Texas Hold'em fan I picked this up the other day, but to my absolute dismay there is NO option to select resolution at all !!!!!! It seems to default to some dogdy 640x480 and it cannot be changed. There is no "plain english" config file to mess around with either.

Absolutely ridiculous. I know it's an Xbox360 port.. but jesus couldn't they at least put the option in there to change/select resolution ?

It looks absolutely retarded on my 22" 1680x1050 screen... I don't even know if it can be displayed in Windows mode. It is pathetic - no graphics options at all, at least with the previous game (World Series of Poker) you can pump up the graphics which was actually too high for my 6600GT.

Yeeesh... I know its Activision "Value", but this went too far :evil:

I'm glad i read this report. I too am a Poker fan and have been eyeballing this game. From the sounds of it, it looks like everything is hex coded. You may or may not be able to edit things with a hex editor, but I know I'm not gonna buy it if I have to do that. I did that with one game and ended up with a mess 3 times, and 4 migrains later I finally got it right. Too much BS to mess with and by the time you get done it's just not worth it. Lots of other games to choose from.

This DRM crap and making these games user unfreindly has gone way past the point of insanity. These games need to be coded so the user can modify files through an ASCI Text editor, and they need to leave all the BS DRM on their own rigs if they want it. We don't need it. Gamers are not terrorists.

Seems like most of the computerised card games are programmed really badly. :(

I wish a really polished one would come out, because I like Texas Hold'em too! Either on the PC, or on some hand-held console.
