Game Crash and Screen Compression

So I was playing a mission when TDM decided to shoot itself and lock up. After resetting my computer, I found that the screen was smaller: Now I have two black bars on both sides, with the actual screen compressed between them. I tried playing with the screen size and aspect ratio, but all I can seem to do is make the graphics sharper or force TDM into a window instead of the full screen. Is there some ideal to get the screen back to where it was? Or should I just go with this, since the game seems to run a little better.

 

Essentially, I've gone from this: http://imgur.com/a/mV6Hr

 

to this: http://imgur.com/a/a43xn

 

Apologies for the poor quality, I'm mainly trying to show screen compression. First one is wider, second one is narrower.

 

EDIT: Current settings for the second pic.

 

4:3 for aspect ratio.

 

1024X786 for screen size

Because in mystery novels, the first suspect is almost certainly never the murderer. No matter how much unmovable evidence there is, it will all be smashed in pieces by the wrath of the remaining number of pages of the story.

Hmm, that's weird. What are the system specs including monitor and resolution?

What's r_mode set to if you check in the console? r_customHeight and r_customWidth?

Also, are any other openGL games or just games in general, also having this issue?

I always assumed I'd taste like boot leather.

Um, resolution is 1920x1080 Not sure what you want for moniter specs

 

r_Width is at1600 and r_Height is set to 900.

 

And I have no idea, TDM is really the only game I have on here. I've had this "freezing and forcing me to reset" issue before, but I've never had it do this.

Yes

 

Thanks! It's still zoomed in a bit, but I can probably work around that. Thanks!

      Does anyone actually use the Normalise button in the Surface inspector? Even after looking at the code I'm not quite sure what it's for.

      Turns out my 15th anniversary mission idea has already been done once or twice before! I've been beaten to the punch once again, but I suppose that's to be expected when there's over 170 FMs out there, eh? I'm not complaining though, I love learning new tricks and taking inspiration from past FMs. Best of luck on your own fan missions!

      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported. Damn!
      Makes me think that TDM engine for Doom 3 itself would actually be perfect.

      Maybe a bit of advice ? In the FM series I'm preparing, the two main characters have the given names Toby and Agnes (it's the protagonist and deuteragonist, respectively), I've been toying with the idea of giving them family names as well, since many of the FM series have named protagonists who have surnames. Toby's from a family who were usually farriers, though he eventually wound up working as a cobbler (this serves as a daylight "front" for his night time thieving). Would it make sense if the man's popularly accepted family name was Farrier ? It's an existing, though less common English surname, and it directly refers to the profession practiced by his relatives. Your suggestions ?

      Looks like the "Reverse April Fools" releases were too well hidden. Darkfate still hasn't acknowledge all the new releases. Did you play any of the new April Fools missions?
