Quake 3 problem

[LordVader]

I decided to have a bash on good old Q3, installed it and applyed the 1.32 patch.

But when i try setting the res to 1280x1024 for some reason it dont fit onto the screen right, its to wide for the screen.

Any idea how to fix this (playing at 1024x768 is doing my head in )

Did you manually put that res into the cfg?

Make sure that the figures you put in went into the right line, it usually lists the height first:

seta r_customheight "1200"
seta r_customwidth "1600"

Is it too wide in the everything? Or just the main menu? As I remember it looks fine when playing normally, just the menu is a little screwy.

Could be that your monitor isn't set up right for that refresh rate. Try setting the rate with r_displayrefresh, or use the controls on your monitor to adjust the picture.

on a 4.3 monitor you should use 1280 x 960 not 1280 x 1024 that stretches the game image its not true 4.3 ratio.

seta r_mode "8"

using the custom widths doesn't work as far as i know unless you use r_mode -1
