If it helps these (the parts marked in yellow obviously) are the "borders" I want to be rid of but have no idea on how to do so as of yet, need help since I am clueless on how to get rid of this annoyance as I would like it pure full-screen, not mid-screen... >_> http://i.imgur.com/f2mrSML.jpg

just a guess, but if u got rid of them and had "pure" full screen it would probably ♥♥♥♥ up your resolution making everything stretched vertically, imo i wish more games made use of these borders, but if your still keen of playing with (possibly) mangled resolution and like ur ♥♥♥♥ really tall all i can suggest is trying all the possible resolutions, tho im gussing you already tried this

Yeah, I did and darn. :< *sigh* Guess it won't be as convenient as the console version then. >< Thanks for your help though, really. :)

It all depends on your desktop resolution.
For example, the black bars appear on my widescreen monitor when I run the game with a VGA cable and 1024x768 resolution. When I switch to my HDMI cable and play the game in 1280x720 resolution, the game is full screen without the borders. It also looks amazing.
Try doing this simple process.

Alright, thanks. :)

EDIT: I tried to set it to there but the closest I could get to it was 1280 x 1024 with the options it showed in the selection of resolutions in the menu, oh well. :<

HDMI

Ah, I see. Only have a regular monitor setup, dunno what the "HDMI" thing you're talking about is honestly. ^^;

"High Definition Media Input" which is a type of video plugin connection on some HD video cards.

I see, dunno if I have that or not, ah well.

Personally, I'm surprised at the lack of results here from other users. This game has a lot of players, I would think you would have more input on the subject.
Yea I have a video card that has a slot for an HDMI cord which I connect to my widescreen TV. This results in no bars and the full use of the screen with the settings I described earlier. If you've tried "everything" then maybe you need to do what I suggest...unless you have a better idea.

If the display's aspect ratio is 4:3 it will have the bars so that it doesn't have just black spaces, it looks far better than without them. Stretching the game is most certainly not a solution as it would look awful.
If you're bothered by the bars you should play it on a screen which aspect ratio is 16:9, not sure about 16:10 monitors though.

Well, i've gotten used to the borders at least, at least I still have my 360 version of RoAW that I got before getting the Steam version, that alone is enough for me so yeah, no sweat. ^^; Just got RoAW on Steam since I love it so much and all. heh :>

I would hate not using the full capabilities of my display, or losing out on features of a game because of my limitations. Maybe that's just me.

It's not like I can't access RoAW itself, like I said i've gotten used to it but I just use my monitor display/power wires, don't think there's any of this "HDMI" cable that I have though and even if I did, I dunno if my monitor would work with it so yeah. ^^; Thanks though, really means a lot, really. :) Again, i've gotten used to it, i'm just glad I can always fall back on my trusty 360 version of RoAW. ^^

I know this old but I fiqure I post it here. to fix the side bars that seem to show up TV in 1080p/1440p/4k

use specialk rename it dll to d3d9.dll and put it in the same folder as game exe when in game just hit alt+enter and the game will be fullscreen bar at all. Prior to this only mode I could get fullscreen and no side bars was 4096 x 2160 this was only that would eliminate those bars
