Hi, I've been fortunate to get a nice widescreen laptop : Compal HEL 80 / Georce 2 Go 7600 / Overclocked to 450/379. / Core 2 Duo / 1650x1050 (Forceware v84.25) My main issue is, how can I get optimal settings without losing the vertical or streched aspect of playing this game? Currently, I'm using the widescreen 1650x1050 resolution mode.... but what if I want to keep it to 640x480 or 800x600 or 1024x768 resolution without stretching the game or losing "height" - not sure how to explain this well, but hopefully some old school cs 1.6 players here that might be able to give some suggestions. Right now in Device Adjustments : I have selected "Fixed Aspect Ratio Scaling" Will this solve the problem if I choose the other lower resolutions? Also - There are Display Adapter Scaling and Centered Output scaling options available - thank you for your time and cooperation - :) Basically for accuracy rather than "visual" performance is what I'm looking for. |

hi mods can you move this to the appropriate forum : I believe it's the discuss/request widescreen solutions - apologize for posting this in the wrong section. |

If you're using the up to date Steam version of Counter Strike 1.6, then you should be able to play without stretching or losing any vertical view by simply sleecting a widescreen resolution from the menu. Actually, I'm not 100% sure that you wont lose any vertical view, but I'm 100% sure that you wont get any stretching. |

thanks for the input... any other feedback on just keeping it on 640x480 or 800x600 with a 15.4" screen? - I've got the black borders on each side on those resolutions.... |

CS 1.6 is vert -. The MGL says this. If you're competitive enough that the vertical loss is worse than having a portion of your screen unused, then you should use a 4:3 resolution. |
