hi, when i play stranded i always get 2 black bars at the side of my screen, i was wondering if there was any way to stretch the games display to fit my desktop resolution??

when i change the resolution in the game it changes it but doesnt make the game fit to screen size..

thanks in advance

go into the sys folder and find the settings.cfg file.
then put your screen resolution into the 2nd and 3rd line.

huh, I've seen other people with widescreen monitors around here who said this would work.

could you maybe post a screenshot?

also, what are you computer specs?

updating video drivers and/or directX might help.

what does that mean you "cannot stretch it"?

with the resolution you put into the settings file, does it fill the screen in windowed mode or not?

if it is a little too large so it blocks the windoes task bar or is blocked by it then you could simply lower the y-size by some pixels...
