This is not the case for everyone, I just got a 1680x1050 monitor and I edited the Res_Fix cfg file to run the game fullscreen (with GWX) at that res, which it did with no problem except for things being stretched out too much horizontally IMO because of the game's native 4:3 aspect ratio. (Really the only thing that bothered me a lot was the slideout compass being squished into too much of an oval shape for my tastes - nothing else was all that noticeable.)
Prior to that I was playing on a 4:3 monitor at 1280x960 res, always at fullscreen, and never had to start the game at a lower res and then alt+tab out and change the cfg to get it to work.
Currently I've gone back to a 4:3 aspect ratio for the game and am running at 1400x1050, with an ATI card and the scaling set so it doesn't stretch things out to fill the entire screen. So I have vertical black bars on either side, but I prefer that to the squished compass. I'll probably stick with that until I can figure out a way to "fix" the compass so it's not squished at the WS res, or somebody releases a WS mod that I like and can get to work on my system.
