Help with Counterstrike Source Aspect Ratio


Recommended Posts

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

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.

    • Intel Nova Lake alleged performance shows massive improvement, could answer AMD 3D V-cache by Sayan Sen Intel’s next-generation Nova Lake-S desktop CPUs are shaping up to be a major overhaul if a recently leaked slide is to be believed. According to the leak, which appears to be a cutout portion of Intel's presentation slide, the top-end Core Ultra 9 SKU could deliver roughly 1.1x or 10 percent better single-threaded (ST) performance and a 1.6x or 60 percent boost in multi-threaded (MT) workloads over Arrow Lake-S. Assuming this is true, in order to achieve this big MT jump, core counts are expected to go significantly up compared to the current gen (Arrow Lake-S). A previous report outlines up to 52 total cores on the flagship part, 16 performance “P-cores,” 32 efficiency “E-cores,” and four ultra-low-power “LP-E” cores, yielding 52 threads in all (If you recall, Intel has dropped hyper-threading, its version of SMT or simultaneous multi-threading on the Lunar Lake architecture). There is no information regarding clock speed though, so we can't guess what kind of IPC (instructions per cycle) Nova Lake may be delivering. Nova Lake-S is also said to support DDR5-8000 memory by default and bring 32 PCIe 5.0 lanes plus 16 Gen 4 lanes for I/O, on a new socket,1954. Nova Lake aims to succeed Arrow Lake’s combo of Crestmont P-cores and Skymont E-cores with new microarchitecture, codenamed “Coyote Cove” and “Arctic Wolf,” respectively, along with the addition of LP-E (Low Power Island) cores that debuted on Meteor Lake. If the internal slide’s performance claims hold true, Intel could close the single-threaded gap against AMD’s Zen 6 Ryzen 9000 X3D parts and redefine desktop gaming leadership. For now, these performance numbers remain unverified rumors even though it sort of does look like the real thing (the font matches). Intel has yet to share any official Nova Lake-S benchmarks or architectural deep dives. Finally, Nova Lake is also rumored to debut a large LLC (last level cache) somewhat similar to AMD's 3D V-cache which helps in boosting gaming performance and other tasks. If you recall, Intel has been working on an L4 (level 4) cache for a while.
    • It would be great if they could release a B750 and take on more of the mid-range at a better price.
