Aspect Ratio adjustment is fustrating.
I have a 16" screen 2560 x 1600. When I change it to that resolution the game goes into 16:9 not 16:10. If I go to 2560 x 1440 it goes to 16:10. ??? What the hell? That's super annoying. I wish there is a fixed aspect ratio I can set to force it.

If you're using a nvidia gpu, you can change how the aspect ratio changes in the control panel, also make sure in the monitor settings you have set the appropriate aspect ratio. The game gives you the correct aspect ratio depending on the resolution, it doesn't care what your monitor or gpu settings are, neither vice versa. So all 3 of them have to match up. On the gpu side I use "no scaling", but you can use there "aspect ratio", "fullscreen", "integrer scaling". Also if the scaling is performed on gpu or display. And if you want to override games or not.

For example my monitor can separately remember what aspect ratio to use per resolution, doesn't matter if the game does it's own scaling.

I override it and nothing happened. I still get the same result. 2560 x 1600 is 16:10 not 16:9.

I did exactly what you have done on the nvidia controls. Nothing changed. It's still showing a 16:9 on a 16:10 resolution.

2560 x 1600 is a 16:10 ratio. THAT IS THE CORRECT RESOLUTION FOR THE ASPECT RATIO.

The game only displays in 16x9. When you give a 16x9 resolution you gpu is stretching it. When you set the proper resolution it is displaying correctly, with black bars to form the 16x9 image.

Games have actually been doing this since at least Beyond Good and Evil in 2003 (first time I remember enforced aspect ratio).

Why the frack did you respond 3 times separately.
Edit your first reply, and delete the other 2.

Anyway, if the game forces 16:9 aspect ratio with black bars, then you can't do anything. That's what you get.
If you get 16:10 with 2560x1440, without black bars and the image is stretched, then you're forcing 16:10 to a 16:9 res through your monitor, the game doesn't have 16:10 without black bars.
If it's not stretched, then it's cutting the left and right sides.
2560x1440 16:9 on a 16:10 monitor should have by default black bars above and below, if you haven't, then you're stretching the image.

Simply said:
"2560 x 1600 is a 16:10 ratio. THAT IS THE CORRECT RESOLUTION FOR THE ASPECT RATIO."
Does not matter if it's correct, if the game is only rendering 16:9, any other resolution will end up with black bars or stretched image.

I want the 16:10. Why does it stretch it to 16:10 of my screen when I put the 16:9. I clearly went over my Nvidia Controls and tried to force it and it still ends up with black bars.

My resolution native is set to 2560 x 1600 and I get black bars on my monitor being exactly that. I shouldn't be getting black bars if set to the native resolution of the aspect ratio.

Did you not understand what I said.

The game renders only for 16:9, if you use any other resolution you get black bars, end of story.
If you don't want black bars, then stretch the image to fullscreen you can do it in the monitor or in the gpu control panel, if you like stretched image. Or get a 16:9 monitor. Or pay the developers to change their internal rendering.

If you still can't understand, then frack off.

I want the 16:10 resolution ratio but the game is stretching the 16:9 to a 16:10 ratio. This is the games issue. There are already numerous bugs in this game that players have already been angry with. The devs should've already tackle them. This is unacceptable for a game to have aspect ratio issues. We shouldn't let ♥♥♥♥ like this slide while your sucking them off lmao.

This happened to me yesterday!! im playing on a lenovo laptop 16 inch display 16:10 aspect ratio, it was fine for some days and then suddenly i run the game and black bars on top and buttom appeared while maintaining navite 1600p resolution. If i change it to 1440p then the image just stretch to the aspect ratio of the display.....i really dont know how to fix this.

If you don't want to play online you can easily set up any aspect or resolution you want.

sorry for the late response, didnt notice your question, i have a legion 7, first time i started the game it seemed that it respected the 16:10 aspect ratio, and the next day was gone, and if i change the resolution to 1440p then it stretch the image to 16:10....doesnt make any sense at all.

I had the same thing it was weird. I guess it had to do something with their update. I guess we are forced to play with the 16:9.
