My Half Life screen in Broken

[Jonkler]

This was literally the first time i loaded up the game and i wanted to see if i could make the screen wider. I turned up the resolution to max and played for a while, after a bit i tried to make it widescreen but now the game text and the game in general is super close. When i pull up the options menu to try and turn off widescreen it is soo zoomed in i cant click on the video settings. Please help as i can play the game with this happening and I dont want to have wasted 13 dollars on a game i know is good but is not working

Add the res you want in the Launch commands with -width -height

Use the game launch options.
1 Click Library in Steam
2 Right click the Half-Life game
3 Next select properties
4 Click the box "set launch options"
5 Then enter the command "commands you want to use" no quote marks
EX: Then enter the command "-normal -windowed -w 800" no quote marks
6 Click ok

Correct your screen resolution in game menu options
1 Start the Half-Life game
2 On the game menu page select option
3 Then click video tab at the top
4 Select the correct mode and resolution for your monitor
5 Click apply

Once you have the correct screen mode and resolution selected.
You will need/should remove the commands in the Half-Life launch options.

Good luck and happy gaming.

Note:
-w <width> - Forces the engine to start with resolution set to <width>.
-h <height> - Forces the engine to start with resolution set to <height>. This launch option does not need to be set in the presence of -w. The width value will determine the height automatically.

standard height size is determined by the screen mode -norm or -widescreem

P.S
Here are more "set launch options" commands that can be used for video.
-fullscreen : no framed window
-windowed : game will be in a framed window
-noboarder : removes frame from around a window
-gl : open_gl graphics rendering
-software : CPU graphic rendering
-normal : monitor size 4:3 ratio
-wide : monitor size 16:9or10 ratio
+gl_vsync 0 : turns off verical Synch in open_gl rendering (can improve FPS)
-nofbo : this turns off some advance rendering in open_gl (can improve FPS)
-nomsaa : turns off AA ;Anti-Aliasing (can improve FPS)
-gl_aniso 0 : Removes anisotrophic filtering (can improve FPS)
-w 800 : width screen resolution size (other sizes can be used)
