Anyways the answer is in your video card settings, you either want to preserve aspect ratio, or go full screen. Depends what video card you have, it should be under Scaling Mode or if you're old school it could look something like this: ![[image loading]](https://i.stack.imgur.com/LXhuJ.png) EDIT: Forgot to add that remastered is free, you can download and play online. But if you want the HD graphics and/or play ladder, then you have to play. You won't have that problem with remastered, but I also don't know what you're trying to do. Like you can't play on iccup if you run RM, and you can't do bw AI stuff either. | ||

Judging by the nonsensical comment you just posted, it's evident that there's a lot that surprises you. | ||

in seriousness one thing you could try is just continually lowering your monitors resolution until it looks good. I've done that before. but trying to find the setting is prob the best way to do it. | ||

Starcraft:Remastered plays exactly like the old SC:BW, it just comes with HD graphics (which you can turn off if you like the old graphics), quality-of-life-changes (video- and other settings, personal hotkeys, zoom and info when watching replays, etc) and functional Bnet-ladder. He meant that the original SCBW is free to download and play nowadays (I guess like here, the SC Anthology I assume), but he said that with this one you cannot play with the new HD-graphics (obviously) or on the new ladder (but you can play online, see Razorsuke's post below). It should come with some of the improvements of RM though, like Fullscreen Mode, from what I've read just now. I can't actually test what you can do with the free SCBW because I have RM installed on my launcher, but it shouldn't be that big, like 1-2 GB (so I read in a 2017 article, might be wrong), so you can try it out yourself even with your potato. Btw: Just toss in the 15 bucks for RM man, it's a classic and worth every dollar. Mb your 15 $ are what it takes to make them add 2v2 ladder, lel. | ||

It's also 7+ GB no matter whether you brought remastered or not. I didn't buy remastered because I was disgusted that they made it look worse for "free" players. | ||

However I just checked the official site, there is still a link to download RM for free, just scroll down to "Features" ![[image loading]](https://i.ibb.co/3f0N5sk/image.png) Like I said before, you'll be able to play on battle.net, but you won't be able to play ranked and you won't have remastered HD graphics. | ||

I didn't buy remastered because I was disgusted that they made it look worse for "free" players. Didn't know that it had that much disk-space, I read in an old article that it only took 1-2 GB, might've been wrong info at the time. With the right settings it looks almost identical. Not 100% as sharp, but hardly noticeable, at least acceptable to most people I know who play RM with old graphics (like myself). I definitelly wouldn't go around telling people that it looks "worse" without going into detail, and that you couldn't do s.th. about it, that would give them the wrong impression. Don't want to split hairs about this actually, but if it just looks (a little bit) different, is it wrong to say that it plays exactly like SC:BW? | ||
