I'm pretty sure the .ini setting is respected in-game.

"setres WIDTHxHEIGHT" in the console works if you get desperate.

I think the UI in-game is a bunch of hardcoded values in UnrealScript, 
which means I can't change them without breaking network compatibility. 
Had the same problem with other games, like, say, ut2004. The difference 
is that ut2004 had the luxury of letting me fill in Mac-specific 
resolutions before the game shipped.

At least one licensee (America's Army) wrote code to query the OS (or 
SDL, in this case) for supported resolutions instead of hardcoding a 
list of pseudo-standard ones. I should nag Running With Scissors to do 
something similiar for the upcoming expansion pack patch.

Actually, I should probably check the source before I spout off as an 
authority on the subject any further.
