have you checked to make sure the game is set to your monitors resolution? something else to look for. open task manager and right-click on rogame.exe open the set afinity tab and make sure it's set to use at least two processors.

I cant tell what rez its at becuase as soon as it reachs the menu its full black so i cant see anything :/ :IS2:
Edit : it is set to use all 7 processors

go to mydocuments\mygames\redorchestra2\config

in there open roengine.ini with notepad and press control + f to search for ResX and ResY

if your resolution is 1920x1080 then ResX should be 1920 and ResY should be 1080

can you go to your graphicscard control panel and check if all mipmap settings etc are at high. And that anti aliasing is disabled (perhaps reset all settings to the default?).

It sounds like some graphical option is stopping you from seeing everything.

Just to be sure try the following as well

1. Go to mydocuments\mygames\redorchestra2 and delete everything inside
2. Go to steam\steamapps\common\redorchestra2\rogame\config delete everything inside
3. Open steam -> library -> right click RS/Ro2 -> properties -> local files and click on verify the integrity of the game cache.
