[SOLVED] 1366x768 Fullscreen Fix!

As some of you who may noticed (those who have widescreen panels and are into retro-gaming or play games at anything other than your desktop resolution), there's a bug in the ATI drivers for W7 (maybe Vista, don't know) that disables scaling and doesn't let you pick any scaling options. Thus we're stuck into Flattenedville any time the resolution is not widescreen.

Here's the fix:
    Set your resolution to anything below your usual resolution.
  1. Right-click your desktop, and go to the Catalyst Control Center. Set it to advanced mode if it's not already.
  2. At the top left, click the "Graphics" menu, and then "Desktops & Displays".
  3. For your desired display, click the little black triangle in the bottom part of the screen, on the LITTLE picture, not the BIG one, and click "Configure".
  4. The scaling options will now be selectable, check the "Enable GPU scaling" box and select "Maintain aspect ratio". Hit Apply.
  5. Set your old resolution back. Even though the forementioned scaling controls are greyed out and you can actually see "Scale image to full panel size" grey-selected, don't worry.
  6. Go play your games!

Tested under W7 RTM and Catalyst 9.8 and 9.12 drivers.

I hope that works for you! I haven't tested this on Crossfire but it should work for any game!

    Select Full screen then save it and put your monitor on the highest resolution again. Now start Crossfire and the game should be in Full Screen.

    Also what is your resolution?
  • well i alerdy know that but currently i have an another problem with resolution 1366x768..

    I can't do anything about your FPS. If you use this method then your FPS will drop a bit. If you have a good computer with good FPS like 150 then this method won't affect you that much has you still have over 90+ FPS.

    However, if you have 50 FPS and you use this method then it could affect you as you will only have 20+ FPS.
