Help with Counterstrike Source Aspect Ratio

[EiutS]

Hey all :)

I was playing Counterstrike Source today, and I was changing around some of the settings.

Went into video, and changed the aspect ratio to 16:10 (The second widescreen ratio that it shows).

The only thing is, this isn't a mode my monitor can support, so I can no longer play the game as the monitor is black and has a dialog telling me it doesn't support the aspect ratio the game is in.

I tried reinstalling the game but that hasn't fixed the problem.

I was wondering however, is there anything I can add into like the counterstrike source config to make the game play in the normal 4:3 ratio?

I don't want to have to guess my way through the menu system or buy a new monitor for it :(

Can anyone shed some light for me please? :blush:

All help is appreciated, thanks alot

add the -window switch in the options.

I've tried changing the r_aspectratio to r_aspectratio 4:3 but that hasn't worked.

Is there supposed to be a value I'm meant to have like 1 or 2 ?

Screen is black so I can't change the -window switch in the options :(

Specifically, open config.cfg and set this to 0.

That hasn't affected it :(

Think I'll try my other monitor and see what that does

Here is a link on steampowered.com support page that will force reset your video settings.

Force Video Mode Reset

You might still get into a situation where you still have problems though, so as an option, you can force Steam to re-detect and re-configure your video settings.

Basically all you need to do click on one of these links, depending on which game you are having problems with.

lol You posted that when I had switched monitors!

Managed to fix it using my other monitor!

But next time if I encounter problems I'll use that method :)

Thanks for the help everyone :cool:
