Change: <Setting Name="optiongrfxres">1920 x 1080</Setting>

and remember to rightclick on NewProfile3.xml and click propeties and check for Read-only, so the settings doesn
't change when you join the game.

Atleast this worked for me and hopefully for others with the same problem =)

Just bought game on daily. Whenever I change my res to 1920x1080, the game crashes to desktop with an error that just says "Fatal error has occured". Anyone else with similar issues?

Works perfectly on that resolution for me.

Try updating your graphics drivers.

Thank you! This worked for me, I think its safe to say that this will work for most people, so I'll update the OP with it. +Rep

Ooops, sorry I missed this thread until now. Mopi, thanks for posting your solution (and digging to find that XML file, it's a sneaky one)

Wanak, thank you for updating your post to include the solution (and crediting mopi!) Threads like these allow people to often solve issues without emailing me - and that makes me happy too. +rep all around
