My current desktop reso is 1366x768

In cs 1.6 I have selected display option as Normal and Resolution as 1024x768.

In this settings I don't get those vertical black side bars which make the playing screen square.

Atm it is rectangular but I wanted square.

How do I get the vertical black bars while playing cs 1.6?

There are two ways to fix this.

First fix:

Nvidia: Go into the Nvidia Control Panel, open the "Adjust desktop size and position" menu, select "Aspect ratio" scaling and set "Perform scaling on:" to "GPU".

AMD: Open the My Digital Flat-Panels part from the left of the Catalyst Control Panel, then, enable gpu scaling and pick maintain aspect ratio.

Intel: Open Intel HD Graphics Panel, open the display menu, switch to 1024x768 and make sure the "Maintain display scaling" button is ticked (not scale full screen), open game while in this mode. Picture from Intel Control Panel

or if you have the legacy Intel Graphics Media Accelerator, you should open it, select display settings and click on the Aspect Ratio Options button. In there, select "Maintain Aspect Ratio" and save.

  • @user131233 please run cl_righthand 1. It wasn't caused by this though, it is a bug in CS 1.6. Please hit the green tick on the answer if the answer helped you.
