Hello everyone! There's one issue with the first Soul Reaver. Is there any way to fix the 1080p game resolution? The problem is that every time I start the game is resets the 1920x1080x32 resolution to 1440x900x32. And each time the resolution window pops up and I need to set 1080p over and over again. What could be the problem? I'm playing on Win7 x64.

You can modify registry keys at:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\VirtualStore\MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Crystal Dynamics\Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver\1.00.000

However I think that the location may be dependant on compatibility settings so just search for "Soul Reaver" in the registry.

This should fix the default resolution problem. As far as I know the startup window itself is unskippable.

Thank you for your reply! On my computer the path seems to be HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Crystal Dynamics\Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver\1.00.000. However, modifying the resolution settings doesn't change anything :( The startup window still resets the resolution to 1440x900... I think gog should be ashamed to sell old games like this. I paid my money and all I get is the awful looping sound plus issues with the registry...

It looks like there are two places in the registry where the settings are (at least in my case but that's not GOG install).

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Crystal Dynamics\Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver\1.00.000

and

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\VirtualStore\MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Crystal Dynamics\Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver\1.00.000

Only the second one seems to be taken into account so make sure that you checked that.
About selling the game in that state. In this particular case (sound skipping) unfortunately nothing can be done. This issue has been present ever since Windows XP and no fan or official patch could resolve this. So, as unfortunate as it is - it's as good as it gets right now.

Unfortunately, the registry search resulted in this path only: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Crystal Dynamics\Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver\1.00.000.
