Black Bars/Border

[Mos1ey 6301]

Hi guys,

For the past few days I've had a black border around the edge of my game when playing OA/DayZ.

I was using 720p (native res) with 1920x1080 3D res and it was filling my whole screen with no issues. I then dropped my 3D res a bit as the server I was playing on was giving me pretty poor FPS and the black border appeared.

I've tried many different 3D res settings and it doesn't make a difference, tried reverting my graphics options to default and the various preset options - it did nothing. When I'm home from work I'm gonna move my config files and let ArmA create new ones. After that I'm pretty much fresh out of ideas though. :(

I'm not having issues with any other games so it must be some kind of ArmA issue.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Thanks in advance...

Edit:

System specs...

720p shitty LCD monitor

i7 870

8Gb RAM

HD 6970 2Gb DDR5

Probably irrelevant but might as well give as much info as possible.

UI Res and 3D Res need to be the same!

I think this should fix this :)

I've tried this and no they don't, lol. I was playing with them mismatched with no problems. Boosting 3D res gives you better texture resolutions.

Thanks for the reply anyway.

Have you tried to swich from fullscreen to window mode with Alt + Enter?

Mabey try to reinstall your GPU Driver.

Yes, I tried windowed mode and switching back to 720. It didn't help.

I don't think it's a GPU related problem because its only OA/DayZ that I have issues with. Might as well try reinstalling drivers though, it can't hurt.

Will try and report back. Thanks again for the input.

Any other ideas would be appreciated if anyone has any? xD

Reinstalling graphics drivers did nothing and removing my config files defaulted all my options but I still have black bars. D:

Gonna try a complete reinstall tonight, I think...
