guys i have a 20" lcd monitor and after ugrading to directx 11 crysis2 the game is working properly but the game display got sandwiched between black sceens from both ends. so the gameplay screen at the center with both end s black or in other words gameplay screen is compressed from both ends. this thing not only happens with crysis2 but also with the tiny bang story.so pls help me to make it to fullscreen or stretch it to both end. and i m playing with high resolution of 1600x900.if u don't understand then just take a look at the screenshot!

Try using different aspect ratio along with resolution. Preferably 16:9.

Yes. I did. I once had a similar problem when gaming on 9400gt and using a vga-dvi converter. Tinkering with refresh rates always worked for me back then.

Also, try returning to desktop using alt+tab, and then, go back to game. Even this trick used to work for me.

@OP:

Try updating your graphics card's drivers.

Tinker with the led buttons.

When I had this problem once changing the aspect ration to 16:10(native aspect ratio of my monitor) worked for me somehow.

Guys updated ccc11.6 to 11.7 but still no changes. recently installed mafia 2 but it seems to plays full widescreen. but crysis and tiny bang story have same prob. guys is this has somethng to do with high resolution texture pack from crysis 2 dx11 pack coz i haven't applied it.

What the maximum resolution that your monitor supports?

Try enabling GPU scaling (My digital Flat panels - Properties) feature in ATI CCC. This should scale the game to full screen.
