Resolution changes, but aspect ratio doesn't.

Someone here probably knows how to make the aspect ratio normal. Gotta find a solution to force 16:9!

Did you try to change /r_aspectratio (0/1/2)?

I just tried those commands, and it didn't do anything noticeable.

r_aspectratio 1 then vid_restart, else nothing happens. If this doesn't work:
make an entry in your config file;

r_customwidth "1600"
r_customheight "900"
r_displayrefresh "your hz'
r_aspectratio 1


Aspectratio 1= 16:9 [1600x900] < example's
Aspectratio 2= 16:10 [1440x900]
Aspectratio 0= 4:3 [1024x768]

afaik aspectratio can't be changed in game and is decided by resolution

It didn't make a difference.

Doesn't look stretched to me, try a different fov or make a picture of a simpleitems-healthbubble.

A different fov doesn't really make a difference in stretching.

The text is all stretched out imo. I'd like to use a smaller resolution anyhow(640x360 or 800x520).

look better - only hud gets stretched, the game itself doesnt

That might be it, but it doesn't solve the issue with smaller resolutions.

Also, how do I fix that?

make a custom resolution in your gfx drivers settings and make sure you have aspect ratio scaling turned on

Hmm, maybe I'm doing it wrong. I set my native resolution to a smaller one, and set scaling on. It didn't make a difference with 1600x900, but when using smaller in game resolutions, it got rid of the black bars on the side, but still had the taskbar on the bottom. The stretching didn't go away however.

Turn on GPU scaling.

This might be a stupid question, but how? When I check the graphics options, it doesn't display a scaling option for 1600x900 but offers a scaling option for smaller resolutions. I want my native desktop to be 1600x900 but my in game to be smaller.

Do you have nvidia or ati?

NVIDIA, but I think my intel integrated graphics runs the display.

Haven't used integrated in a long time. Maybe this will help: link

I don't have that option as number 3 said. It's weird, because I can set my desktop resolution as something smaller and click scale, and run tf2 at a lower res without stretch, but I can't replicate the same process with quake.

Check if your monitor has a scaling setting

hey hey hey.. before anything, are you sure your "game" is stretched, and not just the hud????

game does not look stretched to me, only hud.

I think it's the hud, but I'm not really sure at this point. If you could offer a fix for the hud, I could probably find out. :)

if you're screen is 16:9 and you're running a 16:9 resolution, you can take my word for it that ql is not stretched, your hud might be, but i cant help with that, sry :)
