so the normal resolution which everyone uses is 800x600.. now i play on a laptop with 16:10 and so i wanted to change to 800x500 (which should be 16:10). but then i only have a smal screen and up/down black borders. How to fix this (yes i´m in fullscreen) ?

r_mode 8 aswell as r_mode -1 wont work :(

desktop resolution is 1680x1050

thx bb

you'd need to setup a custom resolution in drivers, doesnt always work though

Guess I've been doing it wrong all the time. How could I be so naive and use the native resolution of my screen...

i already gave you the answer below lol . You need to change the " nvidia scaling with fixed aspect ratio" to something else either too do not scale option or use display scaling option . The fixed aspect ratio is whats causing the black bars it changes the ratio to 4:3, you need to change it too get fullscreen with lower resolutions .

Go into nvidia driver click "adjust desktop size and position" and change the "use Nvidia scaling with fixed aspect ratio" too either "use nvidia scaling" or "Do not scale " or "use built in display scaling"

i know that fix for ET already and i have set that option already. but i think i might have a nvidia driver problem and so i will re-install my driver today. thanks for the tipp anyway :>

You neeed to change the setting in the scaling options of nvidia drivers from "use nvidia scaling with fixed aspect ratio" too do not scale or "use display built in scaling"
