Hi drunk pro dudes
Got a question of screen format
was looking through few pro gamers and their configs and saw that all of them plays in 4:3 screen format despite the monitor is 16:9
Can you explain me the difference ? is it due to some accel twiks or just why they do so ?

don't know..this would be a good question to float over at the QL forums.. So , I'll go ask..  And report back here.. www.quakelive.com/forum/showthread.php?19366-Screen-format-in-game-4-3-or-16-9-for-Pro-players&p=170678#post170678Ok.. This is the best answer so far.. It makes a lot of sense.. "Most of them are from Q3 originally, and the main difference resolution-wise between Q3 and QL is that QL takes widescreen resolutions into account when calculating FOV. Q3 looks really warped and weird in widescreen, and most pros have been playing so long that they probably don't want to change anything at this point." And.. "It's probably this and that 16:9 monitors weren't as common when a lot of them started playing." |
