I've tried it on every option given still getting black either side of screen, just downloaded Counter Strike and that works fine.
Mir simply does not stretch to fit your Aspect Ratio on Laptops.
The game and it's images are all square ratio (Or 4:3 I think?), so will forever have "Black Lines" down the sides because Laptops are set these days to 16:9.
Desktops however, always stretch to fit....I don't really know or understand why the difference, but i've yet to come across a PC that defaults to a square ratio when it has the options for 16:9 lol.
To fix it, you have to change your Graphics Settings to "Scale Full Image" or "Maintain Display Scaling" or something instead of "Maintain Aspect Ratio"
Changing resolution alone actually creates black lines along the top and bottom instead because it's trying to fit the wide screen resolution (That would normally suit a 16:9 display), in a 4:3 ratio box lol.
So to be clear...remove the Maintaining Aspect Ratio in your Graphics settings AND change the resolution to 1366x768 (I believe is what most Laptops are?)
