[The_GSD]

There's a setting in the graphics menu I think, which lets you choose the screen width as well as heighth. See if it's at maximum and if it's not, crank it up. HTH

[Cunin]

I think it's the ren_fRenderingSizeRatio = 0.70711.
You should go in graphics or advanced graphics options and find something that says rendering size or something similar.
Alternatively you can try to redetect graphics options, change your resolution, or change that single option in the console and set it to 1, like:
- bring up the console with TAB or the key above it (forgot which one works in Sam)
- copy and paste this (or type it) and then press enter: ren_fRenderingSizeRatio = 1
- restart the game
I can't be of more help right now, but if the problem persists I can give you more info later.

- restart the game
I can't be of more help right now, but if the problem persists I can give you more info later.

thank you, i knew the problem wasn't in the game's options, but in the console(if that is possible .-.)anyway, thank you again!
