If the screen resolution is incorrectly set in Counter-Strike, a black screen appears and the game becomes unusable. In this case, you need to either edit the configuration file or enter commands through the console.
Instructions
Step 1
Start the KS console using the "E" key on the keyboard, or through a special shortcut. As soon as the console starts, you can enter commands in its field. The vid_config_x 800 command sets the horizontal screen resolution, vid_config_y 600 sets the vertical screen resolution. Enter these commands and press enter on your keyboard. Restart the game and check the result. The command _vid_default_mode 0, which sets the default video mode, can also help in this situation. Enter the commands carefully, as improper use can damage the operating system of the personal computer.
Step 2
You can fix the problem with the wrong screen resolution by adding the following line to the properties of the game shortcut: -w 800 -h 600 -32bpp -full -gl. This parameter will set the screen resolution to 600 pixels in height and 800 in width. You can also change the screen resolution through the Windows registry by opening the path HKEY_CURRENT_USER / Software / Valve / Half-Life / Settings and editing the ScreenHeight and ScreenWidth settings. Change the display mode to decimal and then set the screen resolution you want.
Step 3
All of these methods will help you restore the performance of the game if it is lost due to incorrect screen settings. On the internet, you can find a complete list of commands that apply to playing in console mode. Almost all game settings can be made through the console. If you fail, that is, the commands do not work, then you need to completely reinstall the game, since it could have various glitches that now prevent you from playing in full mode. Download the new installation files from the Internet. Be sure to check them with antivirus software.
