I recently acquired a new monitor (it's pretty nice, 1680x1050) but when I play StarCraft, it stretches to the full width. Anyone know of a way to fix this? :/ My graphics card is an ATI radeon 9200. I've got the Catalyst control center.

Use your monitors buttons to make it a normal screen size.



None.

Try changing the refresh rate and resolution.
If that doesn't work, try changing resolution within Starcraft, or, use an Auto-Adjust function (if your monitor has it).



None.

There should be an AUTO-ADJUST button on most new monitors.

God dam you viet, you don't get to just say "case closed!" whenever you reply to a post in a thread.

In my catalyst control center, you go in advanced >> Panel Proporties - and select preserve aspect ratio

This option doesn't seem to exist.

That option is only on laptop computers, as far as I know. Possibly also if you use the DVI or HDMI connection, but I'm unsure on that, as I've never had a monitor with either.

DarkenedFantasies -- Probably just didn't care. For example, at some point before release, they've updated the graphics of some of the Protoss buildings (Forge, CyberCore, Citadel, Observatory, Arbiter Tribunal), but instead of properly re-rendering them with edited 3D models, they did crappy copy-paste jobs on the rendered graphics.

Ultraviolet -- I suppose we'll likely never know, but my guess would be that they already saw it operating successfully and there was no monetary incentive to finish the original work. And the dev cycle in old school Blizzard was so hectic, it's possible it just got forgotten about after the original game got released. Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it. And it's not like they remade the original MPQs, they just made new ones for BW specifically

Oh_Man -- so that makes me think maybe the theory they are unfinished is not true and its a deliberate design decision, coz why not finish them wen ur making brood war?
