change r_mode to -1 and set your r_customwidth and r_customheight to whatever your desktop res is.

it is now fullscreen but not covering the bottom so it looks VERY stretched now. When I click fullscreen it will change back to the previous issue
So it will cover the whole screen except the load bar and the bar at the bottom that has the windows button on bottom left

Oh woops lol sorry did r_customheigh 1020 instead of 1080. Thats why... Thanks :)

Edit: I just exited and re-entered game and in went back to thin. SO there IS something wrong, Would you know how to make it normal? I shouldnt have to put those commands in everytime i play.

Make a file called autoexec.cfg in your etmain folder.

Use Notepad and change the file extension to ".cfg" instead of ".txt"

Then put this code in the file:

seta r_mode "-1"
seta r_customheight "1024" //your resolution here
seta r_customwidth "1280" //your resolution here

Then when you start ET it should load, and if not, type /vid_restart and it will reload the video settings. You may also have to run /autoexec.cfg once if it doesn't load the first time.

You installed some weird program that messed up your computer. That is not an ET problem.

DId you try right-clicking on your Windows desktop and setting the properties?

If that doesn't work then I would use Control Panel and uninstall the program. Then completely uninstall your graphics card drivers, and reinstall them.

If that doesn't work you may have to reinstall Windows. Tell your parents before you do this.

Thanks everyone.
I fixed it.
I had to go to Nvidia control panel>adjust desktop and size resolution>Use nvidia settings. It must have changed itselfs somehow :)

This topic is almost 1 year old.  I'm glad it helped you but PLEASE don't revive ancient topics.  It's especially pointless considering the OP is banned and can't see that you appreciate his topic.

Thanks! :lock
