    Aplogize for the delay in a response but wanted to follow up to see if this issue is still occurring?  If so wondering if you tried either replacing the adapter or tried on a newer monitor with a direct HDMI connection and bypassing the adapter.  The adapter is the only thing I can think of if that is the case with having an older monitor.  Does the monitor just have VGA or does it have DVI as well?

    Yooo, I completely forgot I made this thread. To answer your question - yes, I'm pretty sure the adapter is what's causing this, as I didn't have this issue before changing my videocard (my current one doesn't have a direct port for my monitor). What's interesting is that other videogames are not getting their graphics stretched, so there could be something funny going on from TOR's side as well.

    Don't worry about me though, the game is playable in my current setup (1024x768, with black lines on the top and bottom of the screen) and I'll be getting a new monitor one of these days. Still, thanks for your answer.
