I think you just input the resolution your monitor supports. For instance, I have a 8:5 monitor with a native resolution of 1920x1080. So I can use:vid_modelist "1920x1080"and fullscreen will work without the black bars. Have you tried this yet already?
Ha, I didn't even notice that I couldn't access the menus with the version I have. That's fine with me though as I never use the menus anyway.
It surely lacks that new incompatibility with anticheat feature.
didn't notice any problems connecting to ac forced servers few days ago with q2pro 364 because i was testing r1q2 and win8 and r1q2 didn't work (r1q2 worked without problem on win8x64 last winter...)
