Hey, I just installed Half-Life 2 Episode 1, and when I tried to run it, I immediately get "Invalid Format" on the monitor. And from past experience, that just means the resolution doesn't work. I'm on a 32" TV running 1360x768. I have tried setting it to all the resolutions that it supports, but still get the same message. Someone told me that the game doesn't support 1360x768, but I don't know that for sure. If anyone knows how I can get around this, or fix it, any help is appreciated.

Invalid Format? That sounds more like a corrupt file to me.


Since the other one was scaring you guys so much...

No, its a message on the monitor, not the game. It's the message you get when you try to run it at a resolution it doesn't support.

Maybe, but I'm not sure how to change that if I can't get into the game/options at all though. :/ Oh so confusing..
