Need help with black borders around stretched screen

Hello everyone,

My friend just downloaded Deadlock and when he opened it he has had this issue where the game is stretched and it has a black bar underneath, kind of like the resolution is messed up somehow (see attached image). It might be a bit hard to see since the background is black but you can see that Abrahams and the map are stretched and you can see a black bar at the bottom from the LCD monitor. The thing is when he tries to open settings to change it nothing appears. Like he presses escape and nothing appears from the menu, only the cursor appears. Same thing with any other window like the shop. Is there a Steam command you can use in the launch options to force a resolution or reset to default or something? He has tried verifying integrity of game files from Steam but it has not helped. If anyone has had this issue and fixed it somehow, please let me know!

Hello, quick follow-up, I managed to solve it by forcing the game to start in a set resolution from the Steam launch options. The exact commands I used were "-w 1920 -h 1080" in case anyone has this problem in the future!
