hello, i will get my new notebook soon (16:9) and found this:

http://www.widescreengamingforum.com/screenshots/wolf-et.php

well as u can see , it looks a bit fatty on wiedescreen. I´m note sure if this will help me to give more hs (fat head? :D) or not.. how ever , i wonder if there is a way to let it look normal? no i dont want black borders on the site :(

atm i play with fov 90 @ 19inch monitor and resolution @ET=r_mode 8

any advice?

thx bb :)

a) i hope you are playing on a 19" lcd
b) according to http://www.widescreengamingforum.com/fovcalc.php you would need like fov 70, so I don't think you can keep your current fov
c) are you sure it's 16:9, most computer monitors are 16:10 by design

LOOOOOOOOL

That will look fucking RETARDED

How can he play on a 4:3 crt in 1280x1024 and then complain about fucked up aspect ratios? I honestly don't think it'll make a difference what resolution he uses if he can't even noticed how fucked up it is to play on that resolution on CRT.

Why don't you play with that one then? I myself am going to get a notebook soon, but I want it to be mobile, and I think 13' is the screen's maximum size then...

switching data between crappy notebook + desktop suxx

also a 13" notebook sucks.. well i dont like them :/
so i thought i will fully replace my desktop + crappy notebook with a new notebook.

useing for school & gaming

and tbh: a 17" notebook is as mobile asa 13" notebook for me :P

If you set a normal resolution - no one is fat.
You should set it not as "r_mode" but as "r_custom..."
