Black screen with sound when changing to 4:3 stretched
I normally play CSGO on 4:3 stretched 1024*768. I applied some optimisation stuff from Panj (This video to be more exact: and now when I change my aspect ratio and resolution to what I normally use the screen goes black and I only hear sound. I then have to go to nVidia GeForce Experience to let it change the settings to the optimal ones (almost everything set to low and 1280*720 16:9). I then can change it to my native rez, but again, I want 4:3 1024*768. What can I do to fix this? Thanks in advance


Specs: Intel Core i3 5005U

By the sound of it, whatever you're using to do that stretch fix is creating a resolution your monitor just doesn't like. That's what commonly happens with no image but sound OK.

I have no idea how you can fix this, having no knowledge of what it is you're using. But your easiest way might just be to go back to using a 16:9 resolution and keep it simple.

Actually it's a setting from the Intel HD Graphics Control Panel and it has worked in the past. It's justa that I applied some things from that video and now it won't work.

Ah well, there's your answer then. If you applied something and it didn't work, you've got to roll it back.

It's obviously doing somthing to the resoltuion because stretching it is changing it. In other words, the NORMAL resolution is being fed into that app, and what it's spitting out as a stretched image is not a resolution that your monitor understands. It may well still 768 lines high, but it ain't 1024 anymore.

I've already rolled everything back, man. It definitely has nothing to do with the Intel HD Graphics Control Panel settings(because IT WORKED prior to the optimization patches). And sorry I forgot to mention, I'm on a laptop.

Yes, I knew you were on a laptop when I saw your GT920M - that's a laptop specific card.

If you're sure it's not booting with the Intel chipset that's fine, I had to ask.

And if you've rolled everything back, then there's obviously some legacy file or something that hasn't been removed when you installed this stretch mod.

The best thing for you to do at this point is to uninstall the game completely, and do a fresh install of it and see how it goes, otherwise you'll be chasing geese for hours.

*sigh* I've already done that.

Just to be clear, when I say a fresh install, I mean manually uninstalling the old installation, then installing anew, and not just reinstalling over the top of the existing files?

Are you trying to use the hd chipset, or the nvidia card? because applying something intended for the intel chip won't affect and will VERY likely conflict with any nvidia card processes.

Yes. Uninstall then install again

I have always had it set up in the nVidia Control Panel to ONLY use the dedicated chip

Why aren't you using the card, though?

The dedicated chipset is garbage compared to an actual video card.

Again, dude, I have it set to only use the dedicated nVidia chip. Intel is the integrated one.
