What happens when the bug occurs? So, I recently decided to play stretched res because I play stretched in csgo. On startup the game opens with black bars even though I use mat_letterbox_aspect_goal 1.33 and mat_letterbox_aspect_threshold 1.33 so that doesnt happen. If I alt tab and go back in the game it fixes itself BUT no animations/effects work in game. I can't see the charge rifle beam, no bangalore smoke, can't see cryptos drone, no bloodhound ability and all the guns are partially see through and all of the armor/helmets look like gray blobs. If I switch my resolution to native and then back to stretched it fixes itself.
What should be happening instead? Normal gameplay
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? I'm not sure, my friend plays stretched on the same resolution and has never had the issue I use (below) in my autoexec and 1440x1080 as my stretched res. hud_setting_minimapRotate 1 m_rawinput 1 mat_letterbox_aspect_goal 1.33 mat_letterbox_aspect_threshold 1.33
