Hello!

I have a quick question; I just bought Company of Heroes Complete on Steam, and when I run it and set my in-game resolution to 1920 x 1080 (which is what my monitor runs at), there are huge black borders around the entire game screen, and the game lags like crazy. I had this problem with Crysis 2, also Steam, and I fixed it by creating a custom 1920 x 1080 60Hz resolution, but I cannot remember how to do that.

I have an AMD Radeon HD 7870 GHz OC Edition 2GB card with the latest beta drivers. Company of Heroes is the only game that's doing this... can someone help me out?

Thank you a ton in advance!

P.S., I read online that the underscan is due to DirectX only displaying the game @ less than 60Hz on a 60Hz monitor, and I remember messing with DX11 for Crysis. CoH runs DX10, so I can't remember exactly what to do. Thanks!
 
hmmm... giant black border around the game screen... like the game isn't filling up the max space in the monitor?
 
Yep! Even though the settings have it running @ 1920 x 1080. It's an underscan issue, but idk how to fix it..
