    For me, as I've noted in past threads on this subject, I find the PC version looks worse than the PS2 version (on a PS3). I have a laptop that spanks this game, but it still renders no better than it did on my old laptop which also did well running the game. It's still watered down looking, names still spawn with the mobs, day and night still pass like a ton of bricks... It's just hard not to notice these things for me, the names thing in particular cause I use them as range-finders. It's a shame about the new expansion... seems I'll be forced to buy the PC version anyway just to enjoy the new content.

    No idea how you didn't know about changing the registry to upgrade the PC graphics.

    Can pretty much blame SE for this though, since until recently the only settings we got to choose from in the config were "bad, really bad, @#$%ing terrible". At least now they realize people don't play on a 800 x 600 monitor and updated it to support higher resolutions.

    They've updated the configuration tool Background resolution to a max of 2048x2048 so no registry tweaking necessary.
