Re: Widescreen help!!!

So I recently upgraded my OS from win 8.1 to win 10 and funny thing just happened, unfortunately not for q3

So I got an issue with q3 resolution aspect ratio, previously it wasnt a problem
The same problem I had on GTA V, I had to switch to windowed mode with res 1024x768 and set same resolution for my desktop as well to be able to play in a fullscreen like mode, or I had to switch to my max resolution of 1600x900 and fullscreen appeared but with significant fps drops so I prefer lower res.

By upgrading to win 10 problem for GTA V has been fixed, I can switch to fullscreen on any resolution and all is fine, but now Q3 encounter the same issue, commands like: r_mode -1, r_customaspect 1 and r_customwidth, r_customheight, doesn't do anything, I still see black stripes on the left/right of my screen, only setting res to 1600x900 makes it as fullscreen, but again I prefer lower ones as I got a bit of smoothness drops.

So, does anyone knows how to fix that? Happy

Re: Widescreen help!!!

Could you provide more info Camel? VGA card model.. etc what drivers you use and so on

Short solution most likely to be as I told you.. maybe you didn't understand me at server.. try 1024 x 576 resolution and see if black strips would still persist

from what i heard win10 tends to replace good drivers with bad drivers

Re: Widescreen help!!!

don't find in any of my cfg's xp_customaspect apart the r_ one, it can be added manually in cfg IF EXISTS in quake code, does it exist for real or u were drunk?

Skullaposhka is kinda right, and for that you might possibly need to use older drivers instead of upgrading.. but not official old ones.. let's take it step by another and tell us first if:
r_customwidth 1024
r_customheight 576
while switching between -1 and 9 of r_mode with r_custwomaspect set to 1
Tell us if it worked and solved the issue or not before I come there and get and rape your gayish lazy little behind!
