JK2 defaults to 640x480 resolution and most new laptops/monitors do not support this resolution they only go down to 800x600. So to fix this you need to follow this guide.
to get to your “gamedata” folder in JK2 and JKA you must go to your steam library, right click Jedi outcast or Jedi academy, then click properties (located in the context menu), now click the tab titled “Local Files” and then click the box titled "browse local files." If you followed these steps correctly you should see a folder pop up titled "Jedi Outcast" or "Jedi Academy" inside that folder there should be another folder titled "Gamedata" open that by selecting the folder and double clicking or select the folder and press enter key. Now you should see two “.exe” files one titled "jk2sp.exe" and "jk2mp.exe" (for JK2) or "jasp.exe" and "jamp.exe" (for JKA) Once you find them look for a folder titled "Base"
Once you find the "Base" folder look inside for two .cfg files titled "mpconfig" and "jkconfig"
open them one at a time with wordpad and use control key + F to find these strings. Type in a little bit of the strings and it should search for it then edit the strings the way I have wrote them do not copy paste at the bottom.
Edit:
seta r_customheight "768"
seta r_customwidth "1024"
seta r_mode "5"
After that is done click the purple floppy disk save icon at the top of word pad and try out the game. If you use save as make sure you save them as .cfg and not .txt or .rtf.
Goodluck let me know if it works.
i tried the code config and it does nothing :/
more infos under www.jk2mv.org/downloads
That only for multiplayer :)

this guide tells you how to get widescreen working at any res. as well as a few tweaks to make the game look better. hint, turn off texture compresion and it looks almost like a mid quality indie game now.
Whats funny is it's almost the exact SAME thing. except it explains what most of the options in the config file mean. if you read it you can make the game look a lot better
You just forgot to add that 'seta r_mode "-1" is needed and that you can set the field of view to a more respectable 90 with 'seta cg_fov "90"
but don't mind me, i am just grabbing infromation from the dark ages of 2002 AFTER the game came out.
the only side effect is the intro movies when you start the game are whited out.
Why are we arguing again? Keep in mind the fact I fixed the OP Mr.Nippleslick's game a long time ago through steam messages.
EDIT: Oh and for the future try to find out OP's monitors native resolution because if you recommend them something like 1080p and they only go as high as 720p They're going to have a bad time.
My way of doing things is just give the most detailed guide possible in text instead of linking so they can view it easier through steam window and also when helping people with little knowledge of computers its best to give them the basic stuff like getting their game to work first with any type of resolution default or custom since the OP wasn't even able to get to the main menu to enter any resolution at all in console because OP monitor didn't support the games first start resolution. Which is why I gave him a non ingame guide of changing it via editing the configs.
The site you @Slatepaws and you @ubern00b Does not go over this. It only gives the ingame guide. So next time you're trying to help read into OP's problem more.
