Setting either the Mac builds of CS1.6 and HL1 to a 4:3 resolution stretches the image instead of putting black bars on the left and right sides of the screen. It would be great to be able to play these games like they were when originally released in their 4:3 ratio without stretching.

Add -nofbo to the launch options, and it should go back to the old rendering method, forcing 4:3 aspect ratio with black bars on the sides.

If it's supported on Mac anyway.

-nofbo will work fine, and this tracker is for all HL1/CS issues, not just linux.

Cool, that worked, Thanks!

where would a user be expected to discover this command line option on their own?

They would not be expected to discover it, it is a work around until/if this feature gets properly implemented.

Capturing this in ValveSoftware/halflife#62 and closing out.

There should be 3 options:

  • Windowed
  • Fake Fullscreen (no -nofbo)
  • Fullscreen (with -nofbo)
