Open "ce142ForceRes.xsc" in a text editor for info on how to apply the patch. (Do not use it on ce v1.36 or older, it will not work.) The patch may be applied to CE versions 1.42 and up. The patch simply hard-codes a game resolution into ce.exe, specifically 1920 x1080 32 BPP. It may be a while before I fix the problem properly, but I have a quick fix patch in the interim. My guess it is CE not handling extra long model information strings and/or long GPU resolution capability lists and is corrupting its memory. I don't yet know if its CE's fault, or a directx, or a driver problem. It appears that ce.exe may be misinterpreting directx GPU make/model and resolution capability information for newer model 3d cards / drivers and is trying to start games with a corrupted screen resolution. If you have updated your 3d card lately or your PC/laptop is simply new, then CE may have stopped working with the above symptoms. Configure / options shows no available resolutions.
