Having a problem that maybe GAF can help me with (because the BF3 forums are diabolically bad):
So right now I'm on a laptop running an AMD 6750 (1GB). Problem I'm having is that I'd like to set the game resolution to 1680x1050 for better performance, but my laptop display is 1920x1200. When I do this in the game options like I would for any other game ever made, the game switches the resolution...but presents the game inside of black bars rather than properly scaling 1680x1050 to the full size of the screen.
I've tried:
1.) Setting the default resolution for Windows to 1680x1050 -AND- the in-game resolution to 1680x1050.
2.) Changing only the Windows resolution or only the game resolution to the desired resolution.
3.) Installing the most current drivers (11.9)
4.) Installing the most recent preview drivers (11.10 preview 3)
5.) Clean installing drivers (uninstall + DriverSweeper)
I can't think of anything else to try. Of course in 99% of games, you simply change the resolution in-game and the game scales accordingly. Black bars never happen. I've certainly never seen them until BF3. Otherwise, the game is quite stable. Few freezes/crashes.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
