[Rycan]

The game is not in full screen.Help please. I'm using 1680 x1050.

[🅷🅾🆄🆂🅴🅼🅳]

Same. Looks like there is no solution (

Could you elaborate? what exactly is happening?

What video card do you have?

[Rycan]

Well,there are 2 black spaces at the top and bottom. I'm using a nvidia geforce gtx 670.

Game doesn't support 16x10 ratio. A lot of topics here with this problem.

So, the game supports 16:9 resolutions and you are using a 16:10./ 8:5 That is why you are getting the letterbox.

1) Right click your desktop and start "Nvidia Control Panel" -> go to "Adjust desktop size and position" under "Display".

Use these settings ;
-Scaling mode : Aspect ratio,
-Perform Scaling on : GPU,
-Check "Override the scaling mode set by games and programs"

2) Go to "Change resolution" under "Display", Press "Customize", tick the box "Enable Resolutions not exposed by the display" -> Press "Create custom resolution"

3)Go ahead and try to add new resolutions by replacing 1680 and 1050 for each resolution tested. Try 1920 × 1080 first. Leave timings to automatic.

Press test and one of the following will happen :

- You get an image, everything works, press save and you got yourself your first downsampling resolution.

- You get a black screen OR your monitor will tell you the current resolution is not supported : press ESC once or twice and wait for the screen to revert back to normal.

- You get a black screen, monitor goes into power save mode : your ♥♥♥♥ crashed you gotta manually reboot your pc and the settings will revert back to normal once you're in windows again.

4) If everything worked, you can go higher and try the following two resolutions that are relatively common and tend to work for people who downsample, again without having to resort to manual timings.

These are the resolutions I was able to achieve with my 16:10 monitors. My native res was 1680x1050 just like yours.

1920 × 1080 - prob the best choice.
1920 × 1200
2048 × 1152
2048 × 1280
1920 × 1440
2048 × 1536
2304 × 1440
2520 x 1572 - this is not a normal resolution but it was the absolute highest I could push my monitors. However the higher you push it the better the game will look as well..

- You are not so much trying to downsample as to get the gpu to do the scaling. You may not even need to mess with custom resolutions, I would change the first couple settings and try it before moving on to custom resolutions.

Doesn't work. Did it last night.

What did not work? Were you unable to add custom resolutions or what?

[🅷🅾🆄🆂🅴🅼🅳]

Black bars still there - tried on 1920 × 1080, 1920 × 1200.

You know what, I think I know why.. I think the game is not using true D3D full screen now that I think about it. I think it it is using full screen/window mode.

Try this if you have not already, set your desktop resolution to one of the custom res and then fire the game up.

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.... not using sweetfx are you?

[🅷🅾🆄🆂🅴🅼🅳]

Looks like game is made only for 16x9 monitors. No, without sweetFX.

Thanks. Black bars disappear for millisecond when I press Esc, but then appear again. Well, at least it is something, I hope it is my problem, will try x86 version.

[Miflett]

I'm having the same problem with Flawless Widescreen. When using the x64 version on my 16:10 monitor, the game still puts up black bars on the top and bottom on the screen. When rapidly entering and exiting the in-game menu, however, the area behind the top and bottom black bars are clearly visible and rendered, but within less than a second the black bars fill back in.

I may have to try the 32 bit version of Flawless Widescreen?
