Hello, I have been wanting to start playing quake 3 in the 4:3 aspect ration (specifically at 1200x900 resolution) and have it in full screen. The issues I have is that it gets stretched to try and fit my 1920x1080 monitor and the game gets offcentered, even with r\_cetnerwidow set to 1. It looks fine in windowed mode, but I would very much prefer some sort of fullscreen letterbox mode, where the game remains unstretched and set in the center. If thats possible, I would very much love to know how to achieve such a thing.

hello, what OS are you using?

Are you setting the resolution with the instructions from our [help page](https://ioquake3.org/help/players-guide/#hd)?

You may need to adjust your graphics card driver’s utility to not scale ioquake3

Hello, apologies for the late response, I’m on Linux (Endeavour OS), and I have used the r\_customheight/width and r\_mode commands to configure my resolution. I also believe I have integrated graphics (Intel Iris Xe) and dont know if theres a good manager for such.
