Oh, you wanna rock that retro vibe with an 800x600 resolution, huh? Here's the deal: you need to tinker with your graphics card settings. For NVIDIA, dive into the NVIDIA Control Panel, head over to 'Adjust desktop size and position', then select 'Aspect ratio' and choose 'Perform scaling on: Display'. Make sure to hit 'Apply'. If you're in the AMD camp, open Radeon Settings, go to 'Display', and enable 'GPU Scaling' while setting the scaling mode to 'Preserve aspect ratio'. Easy peasy!

Honestly, why would anyone want to play with black bars? Max out your resolution and enjoy the game the way it's meant to be seen. It's 2023, folks, live a little!

Just change it in your GPU settings. NVIDIA or AMD, both have options to adjust aspect ratio. Use 'Aspect ratio' and select your preference. Done.
