Widescreen Gaming Forum

Hi!

Following situation in the game.

I have a Dell 24"TFT and i want to play SS2 in fullscreen 1920*1200. But when i select the resolution in game, i have black bars at the top and the bottom of the screen. When i choose 1920*1080 as resolution, i got real fullscreen.
Anyone got the same problem? Or a solution?

Thx

I have a Dell 24" LCD. I had to choose 1920 x 1200 AND the widescreen option to get it to run at 1920 x 1200.

Hope this helps.....

Do you have it real fullscreen or with a black bar(1cm) at the bottom and the top?
I did use the widescreen option - but real fullscreen is for me only at 1920*1080.
What driver do you use for your Dell? Can u send it to me? Perhaps it is the monitor driver tat causes the error. I'll send u my mail as pm.

thx

That was using the default Windows Driver in XP. You can try that or download the driver itself from Dell.

Is yours the 2405?

Yes, but i found no location to download it at the dell site......

Strange.....what kind of GC you use? I have a ATI x850XTPE with the 5.10a display driver....

hmmm...i have no idea what can be the cause of the bars....

chemi

7800GTX SLI here with the 81.85 drivers. No bars that I noticed.

I downloaded the drivers last night so I know they are there. I'll find 'em and post a link.

thanks for the driver location - but it didn't help.
Here is a screenshot - taken at a screen resolution of 1920*1200.

I don't know what to do.....perhaps i can try older drivers for my GC. there my be a bug at the newer ones...

That is odd. No bars here. Could indeed be a video driver issue.....

Good luck!!!

I don't know for sure (i only tried the demo), but I don't think Sam 2 supports true widescreen, despite the options.

See my old thread for some more info: (Paddy has some interesting comparison shots there as well)
