CS Screen reso?

[fusi0n]

I just reinastalled CS after reformatting my HD and now when I goto play the main menu and others look as so their pushed in at the sided so it goes from being quite thin at the bottem to the normal size up the top. I have tried other video modes and resizeing my screen but for some reason it looks all funny....But, when I actually play CS the screen looks fine.

Hmm... it sounds to me as though you're monitor is not set up correctly for the menu resolution, but is for your actual game resolution.

I'd suggest the following... When in the CS menu use the buttons or dials on your monitor to play about with the Trapezoid setting. You should find that you can adjust the 'pinch' and 'pull' of the display.

If that doesn't get the required results have a play with your monitor's Pincushion, Pin-Balance and Parallel settings as well.

I have the same Prob w/ my 20" Monitor, but mines about 4years old (2nd/3rd hand?) but, mine actually cuts in when Windows Starts, but i have gotten use to it and hardly notice it *much now

But i just use Standard Plug n' bang, i mean plug and Play Drivers from the windows Disc, coz i cant find the monitor driver anywhere

There is no need to use the HL menus really. You can join MP games from ASE, and you'll find it far better to edit your config files with wordpad(the only MS app i ever liked )

Ok thanks for that but still no joy, I'll have a play with it some more.


cheers

guess this has been asked a million times but....


openGL or Direct 3D for CS????? is one more technicaly superior than the other? or is it just down to peeps personal preference.

whats ppl's general FPS ratings too?

OpenGL, direct3d is badly implemented in the HL engine.

[ShockingAlberto]

Not sure why Valve bothered implementing D3d... All it's done is cause slight controversy with the bugs in it(seethrough water etc), andvery few people use it...

OpenGL Is the backbone of quake
