1024x768 1st deploy screen is cropped on left/right sides

Product: Battlefield 2042
Platform:PC
Please specify your platform model. PC
AMD or Nvidia Model Number Graphics Card: MSI GTX 1060 Mini OC 3GB Graphics Chipset: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 3GB
Enter RAM memory size in GB 16
Are you using any software with an overlay? No
Which part of the game is the issue happening in? Multiplayer
Which part of the mode? Conquest
Please select your region Europe
On which server did this happen? (normal server - I'm clickin in menu on Conquest 64. I'm not going through server browser)
When did this happen? (dd.mm.yy hh:mm) 03.06.2023 04:00
Summarize your bug On resolution 1024x768, when I join Conquest 64 server and I see first deploy screen (map). I cannot see whole map sometimes (maybe only on some maps, I don't know exactly). It is cropped on left and right ends. I cannot select any home deploy positions or vehicles because they are not on my screen. I've added screenshot that explains everything. If I remember correctly after 1st death it is fixed.
How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Play on resolution 1024x768. In game menu select Conquest 64. When you join server and you see 1st deploy screen you cannot see whole map (sometimes). It is cropped on left and right ends. So you don't have the possibility for example to select vehicles. I've added screenshot that explains everything.
What happens when the bug occurs? Deploy screen is cropped from left and right side. I cannot select any home deploy positions or vehicles because they are not on my screen.
What should be happening instead? I should see whole map with my team's deploy positions and vehicle selection button.

I don't know if playing through Steam is considered as using "software with an overlay". But I'm playing with Steam overlay off, so I'm definitely not using "software with an overlay". I think thought that this is irelevant to the bug.

    @FoxSaiffer 

    1920x1200 has an aspect ratio of 16:10

    1024x768 has an aspect ratio of 1.33:1

    The latter is narrower and may be the reason for why the ends are cropped.

    Is there a particular reason for not using the native 1920x1200 resolution?

    Reason is quite simple: With my CPU/RAM/GPU I can play competitively only on this lowest possible resolution.

    There is no possibility to set 1024x640 to have "native ratio" on my monitor.

    On better resolutions FPS is too low.

    I have even Dynamic resolution turned on, which will downgrade the resolution even further in some situations.

    I have 7 years old GPU and 9 years old CPU. I quite appreciate the optimalization of the game that is capable to run on this rig.

    PS: I've tried to buy Nvidia NOW to circumvent my PC's lack of power but even if ping ingame was 1ms (from BF servers to Geforce NOW servers), latency from Geforce NOW servers, through my WIFi (or wire) to my PC was too high to play competitively. So I'm stucked with 1024x768.
