Hello!
I have an small problem. I wanna use TF2 at 1024x768 resolution (4:3 ratio), but i cant change it. I'm using LG Flatron E2242, and like week ago, it worked, it was possible to change, now when i go to menu, and scroll to "wide/original", its dark, and cant be changed.

What's the problem?
Also, i tried Google, but nobody got exactly same problem, as me.

Thanks

atmowhat about if you use the launch options -w 1024 -h 768 -fullscreen ?

ofc i have that set, clearly said, its 4:3, but its sized like 16:9 (exactly like ugly 16:9)

imo, maybe the problem is with the latest fcuked up drivers (320.18), ill try rolling back to 306.97, since 320.18 had ALOT of problems, maybe this is one of them.

Sounds like it's a setting on your monitor. See if you have a 4:3 option, or if there is some sort of always full screen mode happening.

Well, its an switch (ON/OFF)

"WIDE/ORIGINAL - 1/2"

But its dark, which means not usable.

Open up your nvidia control panel, go to "Adjust desktop size and position", and set the drivers to scale to aspect ratio. Sounds like its set to scale to full screen atm.

16:9 gives higher fov, but i gues he wants to do it for the visual aspect of fatter models or maybe higher fps
