simcity "squished" in middle of screen

Decided to play simcity again after ages, but it's all "squished" up in the middle of the screen with large black spaces on both sides instead of the game taking up the whole screen like it used to.  It's too hard to look at to play it.  I tried every resolution in the game but that doesn't change it.  Any help?

    Hi @sempereadem1977,

    Try to create a new Properties.txt file. To do so navigate to the Config folder 

    On my computer the path is C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\SimCity\SimCityData\Config\ for instance.

    Rename the Properties.txt file into Properties_old.txt and cut/paste to the desktop. 

    Then relaunch the game. It should recreate a new file with the correct settings.

    Let us know if it worked.
