My laptop currently has a 1920x1200 resolution (16:10) display :ph34r:.

I know this game is Hor+ (the vertical is fixed) so the only optimal resolution to play this game is in an aspect ratio of 16:9 (currently running @ 1920x1080).
As I load the game in this aspect ratio, the game stretches the veritical to 1200 vs 1080 :blink:. Playing the game in 1920x1200 works just fine (though I feel I'm missing the FOV in the cutscenes :().

Is anyone else experiencing this problem? Is there anyway to fix it? Dragon Age: Origins displays a fixed vertical (letterboxing) in 16:9 as most of my other games (League of Legends, StarCraft II).

I'm running the physical disc version 1.03. No modifications. Have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the game to no effect.

My specs are:
Alienware m17x R2
  * i7-720QM 1.6Ghz
  * Crossfire AMD ATi 5870m with the latest drivers from AMD.
  * Windows 7 Home Premium without SP1
  * DirectX 11

1920x1200 full screen or anything less in windowed mode.

Those are your best options (that I'm aware of).

So? Apparently it's the answer that's correct. Continuing to ask won't alter reality.

In control panel, open NVidia Control Panel and under "Display" look for "Adjust desktop size and position." There's an option here to tell the video card how to scale when using a resolution lower than your display's native resolution. I believe what you want is called "Use NVidia scaling with Fixed aspect ratio."

If you're using an ATI card, the option is probably there, but you'll have to find it yourself.

I would admit defeat if it was reality. Sadly its not. Its a programming error. and worse a bug that affects a small user base. How many people do you know run 1920x1200 resolutions? Theres gotta be an option that I'm not seeing that keeps disabling the aspect ratio.

If the gaming performance in window mode was good, I wouldn't be asking this question now right?

I did consider this at one point. Luckly for me, I'm able to use AMD reference video card drivers that allows me to access a wide range of features on my laptop. However that feature you refer to does not exists on the AMD end. Mind you, this is affecting only Dragon Age 2. So far every video game I've tested has been able to successfully force the fullscreen resolution to 1920x1080.
