I know this may sound silly, but when you say that it refuses to launch into 1280x1024, what do you mean?
I'm using the patch, same way that the community manual instructed, and when I first tried it, I didn't think it worked either, until the game loaded to the sub area, ie, when the game starts and you're in the sub. Only then did I notice the massive change. Everything was much sharper and crisper.
If you're not going all the way into the game to be onboard the sub, then it's hard to tell if it worked or not. At least it was for me.
