Wait, what? There are games that only support 16:9?
I suppose it's not really my problem as I have a 16:9 monitor... But it does suck. 4:3 monitors aren't too uncommon just yet, and it shouldn't be hard to support them properly. What about 16:10? Would it work any better? Or do these games not support 16:10 either? |
No, no 16:10 support either.
I don't need a 16:9 monitor for everything else I do on the pc, but now I need to upgrade to keep playing games in the same vertical resolution i've been used to for years. So I would need a 1920x1080 monitor, and probably also a new graphics card to render the extra pixels at the same fps, which also means installing a new power supply nowadays.
And sure then there are no black bars, but it still doesn't make sense for games where the vertical axis is just as important as the horizontal, ie rts and top down action games. I don't see any point in playing civilization or tropico in widescreen.

Im looking at my Witcher 2 Config right now and Im selected at 1920x1200 (16x10)
Hell, I even see 1280x1024
|
Yes, and then it gives you black bars when you play the game in that resolution, so it only let me play at 1280x720 effectively.
Same as Dungeon Siege 3, I select 1280x1024 and it just fills the top and bottom of the screen with black.

There is something else going on for you. I just pulled out my backup monitor (21' Sony CRT 4x3) and it auto ajusts fullscreen @1280x1024

Maybe they patched it by now? They promised to fix it in 1.3 I finished the game with patch 1.1 and 1.2, 1.3 wasn't out yet.

Sometimes I wonder why I still bother playing games when they come out :/ I'll hold off on my dungeon siege 3 purchase until they add mouse look and 4:3 ratio.
