Black border with HDMI

Recommended Posts

Hi, recently my monitor (LG M227WDP) stopped working correctly in VGA (screen banding) and I have an ati HD 6870 , so I connected a HDMI, I went to the options settings> input label> HDMI> and I choose PC. Well doing that I eliminated the black screen in the desktop, and I another game I have installed (I currently have installed 2 so I cannot test more).

But when I start the Arma 3 the game has a black border. I've read in forums and people say I've to change to my native resolution. But in the manufacturer web, and It say the native resolution is 1920x1080 (the current resolution I have, in my games and desktop), and in the CCC I cant modify the overscan (it's in grey unless I choose a 1024x768, but If I choose that and I overscale, then the arma 3 launcher is too big and I cant see the launch button). I have in CCC my display as 1080p, 60HZ.

I found a feecback with my problem and the author solved it by deleting the arma3.cfg. I make a backup and I did that and It worked!, but then I edited the new cfg to change the graphic options like my old cfg by hand. I launched the game and again I've the black screen. I deleted again the arma3.cfg and the solution stopped working. I got it work again 2 times and I make a backup of the CFG without editing or even open it. But no mather what I do the game always change to black border screen :S

That problem only happens in ingame resolutions above 1680x1050

I think the problem is with this game. Can anybody help me? I dont know what to do :S

Try this:

*when game is launching click once on loading window before it enters the game, see if this fixes it

**while ingame go options and change your resolution to 1024*768 then return it to 1920*1080, see if this fixes it

***press alt+enter while you are in game, see if this fixes it

****set luaucnh options on arma3 by right click in steam library on game, and set launch options

-refresh 60

-fullscreen

Hi, thanks for the reply. I fixed the game doing that: I went to the CCC and changed my display to 50HZ, then apply, and my desktop had black borders, then I overscaled the screen in the CCC. I did the same with all frecuencies (I think It's only neccesary to do it in 50 HZ). Then I used my old CFG and my game started perfectly.

I thought the game starts in 60hz because I saw it in my CFG. But I think by default It start in 50Hz. I will try the -refresh 60, I want the game at 60 HZ. But I put all my launch options in the launcher, now the custom parametres it's gone, so I dont know where to put it :s

But thanks you very much. Now My problem it's solved :P
