Hi is there any way to get this game to run in full screen
Alt & Enter?
Would this also work on a laptop? Because i tried inputting -fullscreen when the game launches, but that didn’t work (also did the same for Desura which is what I used to download BM). So Alt-Enter doesn’t work then what should I do next?
It should be in the video options. It’s standard for pretty much all Source games.
Hello There !
I have an Acer laptop, with basic resolution of 1366X768 and i can’t run this outstanding game in “full” fullscreen. The edges of the screen have black strips and they ruin a bit this great game.
I already tried to type -fullscreen in the Set Launch options and it did not worked. If someone would look into this problem and would work on it i think the countless Laptop users would be pleased.
Thank you, Black Mesa is fantastic !
you should try setting the aspect ratio to 16:9 under the in-game video options
Works fine on my laptop, so it isn’t universal.
Do other source games go full screen fine?
This is my first source game, so i don’t know if others would work well.
The 16:9 aspect ratio likely would do the trick, i tried it earlier, but whenever i change it, the video option shows it accepted it, but when i go into the main menu, and back to the video option, it shows that it is still on 4 : 3 !? Looks like it is not want to accept it.
But i still have hope, i know someone will come here and will tell me the golden hint ^,^
Hi, I had the same problem.
The -fullscreen option will not work, since the game is already launched in full screen, but the borders are cut of.
So you have to go at the video menu of the game. There you will discover (as I did) that it is very stuborn in not accepting your settings. The only thing you can do is toggle the video resolution untill you can set the game into 16:9. It’s obviously a bug, but it worked on my laptop after some minutes trying and trying again…
Yeah !
It is worked ! The real trick is, after you changed it to 16 : 9 you have to change the resolution too while in the same menu, in my case it was 1366 X 768 !
Now i can enjoy this super game in its “full” glory !
Thank you all !
I have another issue, the game works fine when i put “-safe” in launch options, it loads it in a window. Now as soon as i try to run it fullscreen, my screen turns black with two lines flashing on the left side (i hear the intro music and the buttons click when i move the mouse). Not even ctrl + alt + del or anything works and i have to restart my computer in order to get it working again.
Any ideas?
