I recently got a new PC monitor, and the first thing I did was try it with Squad, which worked perfectly.
Then I tried it on Garry's Mod, and I got a pair of black bars at the right and left sides of the screen. Obviously, I tried changing the aspect ratio (which did jack shit) as well as the resolution. I tried all of it, but none of those settings seemed to have fixed it.
I also checked my screen settings, and its not there either. I only find this problem in Garry's Mod.

Is there a way to fix this, or is my screen "too big"? I'm not good with computers so I have no idea.

Play around with these in your launch options see if anything helps.

  • [*]-w <width> - Forces the engine to start with resolution set to <width>.
    [*]-h <height> - Forces the engine to start with resolution set to <height>.

Try going into nvidia control panel and experiment there. The thing is that neither you or I know how you work that program so :/.
